This week Burke speaks with Ryan Wakefield, a Reader's Favorite Award Winner. In Ryan's award-winning book, Journey to Jumbalot, he tells an epic story in a world of animals combined together. He was always encouraged to create and it's paid off - he's told his books are enjoyed by children who don't usually enjoy books. He's been drawing some of these character since he was in grade school. To learn more about his book visit Jumbalot.com. The Big Time Talker is sponsored by Speakermatch.com.

In 2021, Ryan Wakefield and the Church Marketing University team did something bold. Instead of continuing to talk about what a hybrid worship service would look like, they decided to create one and see for themselves.   Because everybody knows that when it comes to hybrid worship services and vegetables, your mom wants you to try it because you might like it.   What would it look like if both the digital space and the face-to-face worship were seen as equally important on Sunday mornings?   Imagine that no one can tell you "no" and suddenly, you DO have the money and manpower to make it happen. What would you do? Get rid of that organ, that's what. But then what?   Well, we did it and we learned a ton. In this episode, Ryan and Seth talk about what went well and not so well in our test of all these theories in real-time.    LINKS Church Marketing University CMU Facebook Group | Instagram Church Comm Team

Show Notes: Your church. There are times to use stock photos, but actual photos are more genuine. Intentional photography is desired so you show the right atmosphere. Use images that make people feel welcome. Photography tells stories, and people connect with stories. Reach people in the community. Photography can be the first part of your hospitality system. Churches have what people need and they must get better at telling stories to draw people in. Church photos are a great bait to use to reach people because they allow a story to be told through all forms of communication. It is especially a powerful tool to reach the younger generations. Photos are also great for use on social media to spread the word about your church. Use photos to invite people on an adventure with your church. Take your marketing to another level. Photography takes your marketing up to a higher level to connect with people. Great photos allow for awesome marketing materials. Strong church brands can be built around good photography. A church might have to start off by hiring a photographer to get photos of the church. Ultimately, a volunteer team of photographers is a strong approach to capture photos regularly. Build a photography team. Use photographers who are good at capturing candid moments. The photos should be of how the church actually presents itself; don't fake it. A brand guide is a good way to communicate to photographers what type of images to capture. A naming convention is good to have in place so photos can be found on centralized storage. This way, all of your photos will be of the same style and quality and in the same place. We have new content up every week.

We can be certain about the kingdom of God and the local church and the good news. And we can be certain that that type of ministry flows out of relationships.”   ► Listen on Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-churchleaders-podcast/id988990685?mt=2 ► Listen on GooglePlay: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Iycvfoqhkk6saen2hsbjw6yuz24 Connect with ChurchLeaders Online!

We were built.   None of us have done it alone.  No matter how fortunate or tragic your upbringing was, somewhere, someone along your path helped you.   We are not self-made people, I believe that is a fictionalized concept that doesn’t really exist.  Sure, some of us displayed more grit than others, but at some point, someone was there to make us better, to help build us.   Welcome to Every Day, Getting Better, and Builders Project, a podcast journey where I explore the builders from everyday walks of life who coached us, taught us, guided us, mentored us...those who built us.   I am your host, Ryan Wakefield and I want to tell the builders stories of the teachers in small-town Montana, the coaches in Tennessee, the salesmen in Oregon, the real influencers in our lives who saw us as the best versions of ourselves, perhaps that version that we could not yet see...and then, helped us to see that same version.   This podcast will be an adventure, starting with one guest, digging in and breaking down what made them a real influencer.  But more importantly, finding out how they have invested their time and talents to help others achieve their potential. Every episode will be connected as at the end of each I will ask our guests the same question, “Who built you?” Because have you ever stopped, even just for a few minutes to think about how your builder was connected to their builder, and so on?  Someone had to build them too. Their answer, whoever it is, will then be the next guest on our show.  Or at least I hope they will be. I cannot predict the desire of the next builder in the tree, but I sure am going to try to continue the chain of builders as far as it will take me. When the trail runs dry, a guest does not desire to be recorded or maybe has had their time on Earth expired - well then, I start again. This time with another builder, with another tree - and the chase to discover the common links between our builders will continue.   It is my hope that you will join me, and follow the journey.  Even better, I ask that you participate. Share with me the story of someone who built you, and just maybe, we’ll explore your story and the builders project will become about you and your tree of builders.
