In part 2 of our mini series, Neal Karsten join us again to discuss 8 different cracks we see in the foundation of the institution. The conversation explores the challenges faced by modern churches regarding branding, competition, and the implications of centralization versus decentralization. They emphasize the importance of aligning church practices with biblical foundations rather than merely following established customs. They explore the complexities of church customs, the role of money in church dynamics, and the importance of flexibility in church practices. They discuss the potential for being the church without financial dependence and the need for a decentralized approach to money management. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of examining the foundations of church models, identifying key issues such as consumerism, and the importance of personal reflection and repentance in the church community.

The importance of church branding shouldn't be overlooked, as it plays a major role in building trust and growing your member base. If you want your church to stand out and your members to become more invested in your faith-based organization, you need to invite them into your brand story. As a church leader, you no doubt find it disheartening to see your church congregation dwindle week after week. Even before the global pandemic, you may have noticed a decrease in attendance and lack of engagement online. Though church success is not a numbers game, you can't help but think to yourself, “Have I gone off track?” A decline in church numbers isn't an indication that you've failed at your call. It may just mean that you need to put greater effort into increasing engagement and connecting with the people in your community online. You have a lot on your plate, and we understand the inner conflict of trying to keep everything afloat while doing your best to shepherd the ones you serve. That's why we wanted to introduce you to a concept called branding and discuss the importance of church branding. Here's the thing… Creating an authentic church brand helps people connect with the heart of your church and your desire to change lives. Your church brand has everything to do with how your community perceives you. Your brand defines your mission, your beliefs, whom you are called to reach—even the choices you make. It's what you stand for and it defines how you wish to be represented to others. When Should You Think About Church Branding?

In our experience, the reality that a logo alone doesn’t make a brand is not a universally understood truth. The language around this topic is seemingly vague in the church world. We’ve seen countless organizations fail to adopt a full brand identity because of budgetary reasons or lack of knowledge on the subject, only to spend more after the fact to get things back on track. In this episode, we discuss the difference between a logo alone and a full brand identity.

In the last episode we discussed writing for your target audience. In this episode we’re covering a few more branding basics. Joining us today is Chris Heiden. He has served as the Brand Creative Manager for Chapel Roswell, a United Methodist Church in Roswell, Georgia. His wife has been one of the associate pastors on … Continue reading "Ep. 025: Where to start with church branding (part 2)"

There’s an old saying in advertising and communications: When you try to reach everyone, you reach no one. Of course, this sounds like a terrible thing to say on a ministry podcast because the Gospel and the Church are for everyone! But don’t worry, both sentiments can be, and in fact are, true. On this … Continue reading "Ep. 024: Where to start with church branding"

Andrea's church has a lot of big ideas, but she's concerned that they don't follow through with enough of the ideas. Andrea's struggle is the struggle of so many other churches that have a large vision and a lot of ideas, but they lack the follow through. In this episode, I talk about four practical things you can do to make sure that you don't become known for overpromising and under delivering as a church brand. 

Traditionally, we have been taught that a clear mission statement is a critical component of your organization’s communication. Is it possible that we’ve given the mission statement too much of a priority? In this episode, I challenge you to reconsider the way you use your mission statement – if you even still utilize it at all. You will learn a more effective alternative to your mission statement and I will give you real big brand examples of this. Simplifying your message doesn’t diminish your purpose. Instead, it increases the chance that your purpose will resonate and be remembered.

We've heard it said that content is king but in this episode, I talk about why culture is king for your church brand. Culture is a big deal for your brand. People can forgive a bad logo, but there's no grace for a crappy culture. Culture is being shaped by every decision that you make, and it's creating the conversations that are being had about your church. I present the idea that your brand culture is built internally first and challenge you to invest in building advocates, not just invest in advertising.

What do the Bachelor and online dating have in common with the way we sometimes build our brands as churches? You'll find out in this episode as I go further on rule number three for building a brilliant brand from the previous episode.  On this episode, I talk about how building a brand on hype sets false expectations for your audience and the danger of seducing our audience with short-term buzz.

In this episode, I unpack rule number three for building a brilliant church brand from my book, Rebel Brands. I talk about what kind of brand awareness your church should be building and the difference between building a brand on hype over help. I talk about the trap that churches and big brands fall into when it comes to promoting their brand, and the danger we face of covering up our purpose with hype.

In this Q&A episode, the caller was asking what the right strategy should be to convince his leadership they needed a visual rebrand. In this episode, I give our caller a strategy that will help him have greater buy-in with his leadership. Most importantly, the strategy that I gave him will do so much more than changing a logo – it will advance the purpose of the church even greater.

Most people either think they are creative, or they think they aren't. And people tend to think that if it's clever, it must be creative. But in this episode, I talked with Jonathan Malm about what creativity really is. Jonathan and I talked about the role creativity in the church, what really makes someone creative, and creative ways to think about the communication for your church brand. The conversation was sparked by his new book, The Hidden Option, which is all about using creativity to solve life's issues.

In this episode, Drew called in with a question asking about communicating vision through a rebrand. Like so many other organizations, Drew's church has been struggling to find the right voice to connect with their congregation and those outside of their church. And in the case of Drew's church, we discovered what the real issue is, and what are rebrand won't fix for them if they don't get their purpose clear first.

In this episode, I go beyond brilliant brands rule number 2: "If it doesn't live everywhere, it doesn't live anywhere," where I talked about how you need to build a brand on promises and not on aspirations. But I wanted to help show you a practical example of what it looks like to make and keep your brand promises. In this episode, I use a real experience that I had with Nordstroms to help you think through what it means to back up what you say and build a brand on promises kept.

What would change for your church brand's messaging if you could only communicate what is true? What if you couldn't build your marketing around hype and aspiration? In this episode, I talk about a lesson on branding that I learned early on in my marriage. The lesson I learned has changed everything for me, and the way I view what a brand is and the relationship it has with an audience. As we look at rule number two for building a brilliant brand, you'll start to see that what you communicate to your audience – they expect.

In this episode, I help you understand what the true definition of the word "brand." Depending on who you ask, the definition of branding will vary from person to person. And if you're a church, it's never been more important that you understand what a brand is, and how it goes far beyond your logo and website. I give you an example of how Radio Shack missed the mark on defining their brand, and I help you make it easier to measure how well your brand is doing.

http://prochurchtools.com/086 - When it comes to church branding we often ask ourselves where do I even begin? Are there mistakes I am already making? Justin Keller answers those questions for us today and talks about the new rules that have emerged for church branding.

Are you saved, sanctified, and spirit filled or are you a misinformed consumer of church fallacies? Today churches are built around the drive, vision, and especially the charisma of pastors seeking to create their brand. Ministries are being created and franchised out just like fast food restaurants leaving many believers shuffling to find the right church brand or fit for them. In the process, they are becoming more and more biblically illiterate and participating in fallacies of false hopes of prosperity, salvation, and possibly even eternal life. Join Pastor Neal for another great discussion on Zera Today.
