Healthy Ministry
Book of the Week: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Your role has a lot of noise – whether from congregants, volunteers, or other ministry staff. John Mark Comer writes The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry to give us a better way.
He writes, “…there is a healthy kind of busyness where your life is full with things that matter, not wasted on empty leisure or trivial pursuits. By that definition Jesus himself was busy. The problem isn’t when you have a lot to do; it’s when you have too much to do and the only way to keep the quota up is to hurry.”
become a better church communicator, 5 minutes at a time.
Every year, being a relevant, connected church gets harder. The pandemic made online experiences mandatory. Social media algorithms are constantly changing, requiring creative approaches to reach their audiences. AI and data privacy laws are rapidly changing the digital landscape for churches.
We created the Better Church Comms newsletter because we believe the Communications department is one of the most important ministries of the church.
You wear so many hats. Hand the “learner” one over to us.
Twice a month, we’ll send you a five-minute newsletter. You’ll get recommendations to make your life easier, templates to save you time, case studies of creative approaches other churches are taking, and some encouragement for sustainable, healthy ministry.
