More Introduction, Less Invitation

Season 1 · Episode 32

Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 16:41

Most church social media skips a crucial step. We invite people to Sunday worship, community dinners, VBS, and special events before they actually know who we are.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why your church social media needs more introduction content and less straight-to-the-invitation posting. We’ll talk about the know, like, trust framework, why social media is especially important for new people, and how to create posts that show what your church feels like before asking someone to show up. If your feed is mostly event graphics and “join us” posts, this episode will help you shift toward a more welcoming, strategic, and trust-building church social media presence.

Why AI Makes Church Content Sound Generic (and How to Fix It!)

Thursday, May 28, 2026 • Duration 15:04

AI can write your church's social posts in five seconds. The catch? Most of the time, it sounds like every other church on the internet.

This week, we're getting into why your church needs a voice guide before you hand the keys to ChatGPT. You'll hear why generic AI copy chips away at trust with the very visitors you're trying to reach, why your online voice is doing way more first-impression work than you realize, and what changes the second your team finally has language for how your church actually sounds. Plus, I'm walking you through the Digital Ministry Voice tool, or DMV (yes, the acronym is on purpose, I couldn't help myself), which builds you a working voice guide and AI prompts so your church communications sound like you.

AI for Ministry: You’re the Driver, AI Is the GPS

Episode 30

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 20:27

AI in ministry brings up a lot of feelings, and that makes sense! The good news is that nobody serious is suggesting AI should write your sermons, replace pastoral care, or make theological decisions for your church. Those things belong to you and your community. The administrative and communications work that piles up around ministry though? That is where AI can be a helpful tool.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I taught in a room full of Presbyterian clergy about using AI for ministry with clarity, ethics, and confidence. We'll talk about why AI works like GPS (you're still the one driving), where it actually helps with church communications, and where it has no business showing up at all. I'll also walk you through a simple five-part prompt formula you can use for newsletters, event announcements, social posts, and other recurring ministry tasks. The goal is AI that sounds like your church, with your voice and your people in mind.

Digital Ministry Isn’t Marketing… But It Can Learn From It!

Season 1 · Episode 29

Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 18:08

A lot of church leaders hear the word marketing and immediately tense up. It feels corporate. Transactional. Maybe even a little manipulative. And honestly? I get that.

But in this episode, I want to make the case that while digital ministry and church marketing are not the same thing, there are important things ministry leaders can learn from good marketing principles—especially when it comes to communication, trust, consistency, and helping people feel seen.

We’re talking about why audience research looks a lot like pastoral care, why consistency builds trust online, how your church’s digital presence shapes first impressions long before someone walks through the door, and why the best digital ministry is always relationship-driven. I’m also sharing what surprised me most when I studied marketing formally through Harvard Business School Online, and why some of the strongest ministry and marketing frameworks actually arrive at the same place.

Because this isn’t about turning your church into a brand. It’s about learning how to communicate your ministry more clearly, more consistently, and more faithfully online.

Your Church Email List Is Your Most Loyal Audience (Here’s How to Actually Use It)

Season 1 · Episode 28

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 21:20

Your email list is the only channel you actually own — and for mainline churches especially, it's your most direct line to lapsed members, snowbirds, and people in transition who aren't ready to walk through the door yet. In this episode, Leslie breaks down why most church email falls flat (hint: "May Newsletter" is not a subject line), the one-person rule that transforms your tone instantly, subject lines that actually get opened, a three-part structure that takes fifteen minutes to write, and why showing up consistently in someone's inbox is its own form of pastoral care. Plus: a callback to last week's sermon episode that ties it all together.

How to Turn One Sermon Into a Full Week of Church Content

Season 1 · Episode 27

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 23:10

Great news: you don’t need more ideas for what to post! Your church is already creating meaningful content every single week.... you’re just not using it fully yet.

In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple, sustainable way to build your church communications and digital ministry around something that’s already happening: the sermon. Instead of scrambling to come up with social media posts, emails, and website updates from scratch, you’ll learn how to turn one message into a full week of connected content that actually reflects what’s happening on Sunday morning.

We’ll talk about how to use the sermon before Sunday, during worship, and in the days that follow so your church social media, email, and website all feel aligned and intentional. I’ll show you how to pull out the key elements of a sermon (the theme, scripture, story, and invitation) and turn them into posts, reflection questions, newsletter content, and even short-form video. Because your message deserves to go further than the sanctuary... and your digital presence should make that possible!

Church Event Promotion: How to Actually Get People to Show Up

Monday, April 20, 2026 • Duration 31:29

You planned a beautiful event. The logistics were solid, the volunteers showed up, everything ran smoothly. And the room still wasn't as full as you hoped.

That's a promotion problem. And it's a fixable one.

In this episode I'm breaking down why so many church events — community dinners, VBS kickoffs, spring concerts, outreach gatherings — end up reaching the same familiar faces instead of the new ones you were hoping for. We'll cover the most common promotion mistakes churches make, how to write event copy that actually feels like an invitation, and how to think about your audiences in concentric circles so you're building toward your outer community, not just communicating with the people already in the room.

I'll also walk you through a practical promotion timeline you can follow without burning out, a channel-by-channel breakdown that includes your website, email, social media, and your Google Business profile, and the one post-event move that almost every church skips — and really shouldn't.

Plus I'll tell you about Event Ease, my event promotion guide and plan generator for churches, and how it takes everything I teach in this episode and turns it into a custom, ready-to-follow plan for your specific event.

You can get it here: https://www.studiokons.com/eventease

If you've got events coming up this spring and you want more people to actually show up, this one's for you.

The Easter Hangover: A church communications reset after your biggest digital ministry push

Monday, April 13, 2026 • Duration 14:58

Easter is over. The services happened, the content went out, the visitors showed up—and now everything feels… a little weird.

In this episode, I’m talking about what I call the Easter hangover—that post-Easter crash so many church communicators, staff, and volunteers feel after their biggest church communications and digital ministry push of the year. If you’ve ever sat down the Monday after Easter feeling tired, foggy, or unsure what comes next, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong.

We’ll walk through how to use this moment as a strategic reset for your church communications, website, email, and social media, instead of just pushing straight into the next thing. I’ll share a simple post-Easter check-in to help you evaluate what worked, what didn’t, and what’s worth repeating, plus how to follow up with Easter visitors and keep momentum going in your digital ministry. Because these weeks after Easter? They’re not a slowdown—they’re one of the most important windows you have for connection, clarity, and sustainable growth.

A Better Way to Handle Easter Church Communications

Monday, March 16, 2026 • Duration 20:28

In many churches, Easter communications turn into a last-minute scramble. Service times change, details arrive late, graphics get rushed, and one person ends up trying to hold the entire plan together.

In this episode, we’re talking about why Easter church communications so often feel chaotic (and what’s actually underneath that stress!) Easter doesn’t just create more work. It puts pressure on every part of your church’s communication system at the same time.

I’ll walk you through the most common reasons Easter planning gets messy, why promotion is usually not the real problem, and how to create a clearer, more sustainable process for sharing event information across your website, email, social media, and in-person announcements. If you’ve ever wished there were a calmer, more organized way to handle church events like Easter, this conversation will give you a practical place to start.
