Goin’ to Nashville (NRB)
I’ll hit the road tomorrow to head to Nashville for the NRB Convention. I have two sessions on Sunday, Escape from the Planet Mundane and Unchurched. Let me give you a preview (and maybe entice you to join me).
Escape from the Planet Mundane
I’m going to talk about church marketing, why it often sucks and what we can do about it. Of course much of that will apply to whatever type of ministry you’re in and will include:
- God created us to be creative
- Our role as storytellers
- Us+Them instead of Us vs. Them
- Habits of creativity
- Group activities to get the mind moving throughout the session.
Unchurched
We talk about reaching the lost…but guess what? They don’t know they’re lost, they probably don’t feel lost and they think we’re full of it. So how do we reach the unchurched. This presentation was the easiest and hardest to put together. Easiest because it really centers around 2 words:
WHAT
HOW
Hard because it’s not easy to change WHAT we are saying and HOW we are saying it. If you’ve heard my speak before you know I love the verse “The father gave me what to say and how to say it.” and I include it in just about every talk I give. But I’m taking a different spin on it this time and examining some of the religious junk that makes the church feel good and people feel unwanted. This is going to be extra great as I’m able to speak alongside Joe Sindorf, Jenni Catron and Matthew Turner…I expect this to be much more conversation than speech.
If you’re in the Nashville area let me know, I’d love to connect with you!
