Holly guides us through the key differences between coaching and criticism, stresses the need for self-awareness, and the importance of individual development plans. We're shifting the focus from climbing the corporate ladder to enhancing the individual's skills and strengths.

We explore the essential role culture plays as a system that people react to. How can you create a culture that works for distributed teams? What tools can you use to reinforce that culture?

By doing so, we will show people the power of community and the joy of serving others. Perhaps we have forgotten to emphasize that serving others is also serving God. And when they serve the Lord, they are fulfilling their purpose. We have spent far too much time telling people what to do and far too little time teaching them why they should care about serving others.It's in the service of others that we find our greatest joy and our deepest purpose. It's in the service of others that we find our greatest fulfillment. In this episode, our guest Shawn Wood, the Lead Pastor of Freedom Church, will take us through the practical ways to motivate people to serve others. He will also talk about the pandemic's impact on the church and how leaders can use this as an opportunity to step up, serve, and lead people in the right direction. “When you're doing what God has called you to do, you don't need a lot of other motivation. If we can get people in that position, where they're being fed by the fact that they're doing what God has asked them to do, then then they're going to show up anyway.”-Shawn WoodListen to this episode to see how you might inspire others to serve!By the end of this episode, you will learn:The keys to building an online church without losing communityHow the church can stay connected in times of crisisWhy gathering at church is still necessary for spiritual growth and community buildingPractical ways you can motivate people to serve othersWays to disciple during a pandemic=======Tithely provides the tools you need to engage with your church online, stay connected, increase generosity, and simplify the lives of your staff.With tools like text and email messaging, custom church apps and websites, church management software, digital giving, and so much more… it's no wonder over 37,000 churches in 50 countries trust Tithely to help run their church.Learn more at https://tithely.comRegister for That Church Conference at ThatCC.com and use promo code "MCL" at checkout to receive $50 off per person

While it is not the only way to do this, it is vital to a church's growth.The new age of globalization, where our world is becoming more diverse and our culture is becoming more global, necessitates the church to focus on reaching the cultural boundaries that are differentially impacted by these changes.In this episode, we are excited to hear from Pastor Sam Collier, who recently launched a church in Atlanta, GA, called Story Church. He will share a glimpse into how this church began and his vision for how the church will grow. He will also speak about the significance of multiculturalism in the church's growth.“We think different, we come from different backgrounds, but we learn to celebrate what we do agree on.”-Sam Collier Church planting is a huge undertaking, so this is a great place to start if you're wondering where to begin!By the end of this episode, you will learn:A little background on Sam's journey as a pastorWhat it takes to plant a church in such a challenging timeThe roles of the pastor in church plantingWhy understanding culture helps us fulfill the Great CommissionSome principles for understanding multicultural churchesHow to use Facebook ads to promote your church=======Tithely provides the tools you need to engage with your church online, stay connected, increase generosity, and simplify the lives of your staff.With tools like text and email messaging, custom church apps and websites, church management software, digital giving, and so much more… it's no wonder over 37,000 churches in 50 countries trust Tithely to help run their church.Learn more at https://tithely.comRegister for That Church Conference at ThatCC.com and use promo code "MCL" at checkout to receive $50 off per person

With sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, churches can now be just as effective online as they are in person. In fact, many churches use online outreach more effectively than they do in person.When social media first came on the scene, pastors and church leaders mainly used it to share sermons, promote upcoming events, and share inspirational quotes. However, as more people joined the social media world, the platforms began to be used for a broader array of purposes.The social media arsenal has grown since podcasts, blogs, and vlogs were introduced, and now churches are finding more and more creative ways to use social media to build their church community and spread the gospel. Churches with the most success online are the most creative and the ones that are willing to experiment. Through failing, learning, and adjusting, churches can grow and become even more effective online.  This episode features a chat with the "vlogging pastor" and the Lead Pastor of Passion Creek Church in Arizona, Trey Van Camp. He will be sharing specific strategies for using social media to further the ministry of a church and providing some helpful advice for those churches that are just starting out in digital space.“It's the storytelling; how do you grab their attention? How do you bring them to Jesus? That is what I'm passionate about.”-Trey Van Camp Trey comes from a fourth generation of pastors. He received his Bachelor's degree in Applied Theology from California Baptist University, where he graduated summa cum laude and received  the "Applied Theology Award." Trey is happily married to Jordan. They have three children: Faith Karis, Selah Ruth, and Trinity Rose.This will be a great opportunity to hear more about what Trey is doing at Passion Creek Church and learn how to effectively use social media for the growth of your church.By the end of this episode, you will learn:Why online presence matters to churchesHow churches can improve their online presence How to repurpose sermon content onlineHow to use vlogging to grow your churchPastor Trey vlog's story structure (attention, intervention, invitation)The importance of storytelling in vloggingEffective social media strategiesTechnical tips on vlogging=======Tithely provides the tools you need to engage with your church online, stay connected, increase generosity, and simplify the lives of your staff.With tools like text and email messaging, custom church apps and websites, church management software, digital giving, and so much more… it's no wonder over 37,000 churches in 50 countries trust Tithely to help run their church.Learn more at https://tithely.comRegister for That Church Conference at ThatCC.com and use promo code "MCL" at checkout to receive $50 off per person

Any outreach toward children must carefully consider the unique needs of a child's faith journey.We must go beyond simply preaching the gospel. We must intentionally equip children to be resilient and passionate disciples of Christ. If we are going to reach children truly, then we need to look at what that means and begin thinking about ways to accomplish this goal.“Children's ministry can mean a lot of things…But disciple-making is a specific target. It's a specific mission that's designed to help make disciples, and so that's important because we're now living in a very different world than we were 20, 30, 40 years ago. And so the level of missional focus we need with our own kids to reach them and to disciple them is really significant."-Matt MarkinsIn this episode, Matt Markins, President of Awana ministry, will share valuable insights on engaging children and what children are looking for in a church setting in today's world.

So why not use the gift of music to the fullest? Creating music is an opportunity to edify the believers, to build them up in the faith.

Aside from that, he will share with us how music has served as a tool in expressing what their church has been through and how God has remained faithful throughout the church's various seasons.“One of the things that is important from my own Christianity is the true fact that I worship a creator.

Welcome in to That Church Podcast where we help Digital Communicators Tell The Best Story The Church Has To Tell. In today’s episode we’re joined by Matt Morrison. Matt is the 32-year-old founder of Church OS based in Vancouver, Canada, where he lives with his wife Chelsea and their two daughters. For the past seven years, Church OS has focused on helping churches set up great websites. I think you are really going to enjoy our conversation with Matt on a super simple solution for your email newsletter that we bet you have never thought of and are going to completely facepalm over once you hear about this idea. But, before we get to that... As this podcast episode goes up on iTunes, That Church Conference is gearing up for our 2nd Intensive Workshop in Chicago. It’s THIS Tuesday April 25th. So...less than 6 days away. We’re going to be at Soul City Church with a room full of church communications folks, Helping Digital Communicators Tell The Best Story The Church Has To Tell. What is a one day Intensive Workshop? Our Speakers are LAUREN MCALLISTER - Social Media Manager, First Baptist Jacksonville - Down the Rabbit Hole - Turning Negative Social Conversations into Positive Ones Mark McDonald - Church Brand Strategist, Be Known For Something - Ways to Know Whether Your Church Brand will Succeed. And How to Fix It. Ben Stapley - Creative Arts Pastor, Liquid Church - Processing Church Communication Requests DANNY DE LOS REYES - Media Pastor, Northplace Church - Creating and sustaining a thriving volunteer culture in your department If you can’t make it to Chicago, we will be making the videos available to our PRO Members on ThatCC.com. Having a PRO Membership is the best way for you and your team to get your hands on all the content on our website. Practical hands on teaching from folks doing what you’re doing at your church. Now, let me put things in perspective here. The ticket to the conference is currently $349. The Annual cost to join our PRO Member site is $489 bucks! Sooooo, for just $49 you can sign up for the monthly PRO account, watch the Chicago Workshop, then cancel your membership. Why would I tell you to do that? Because we have heard from dozens of members that had that same intention, but once they they saw all the amazing content that the PRO membership gave them, they all stuck around. The best value is the annual membership for $489, but feel free to sign up for the monthly to check things out, then we’ll credit that back to you if you want to change to an annual bill. Make sense? Go to thatcc.com to check out all the details. Let’s get back to our interview with Matt Morrison. Like I said earlier, this process that Matt has, once you hear it, you’re going to be kicking yourself for not having this kind of system in place on your website. An unbelievably simple tool that will for sure make you work smarter, not harder. Mat even has some graphics that he shares on his screen for our PRO Members to watch online, in case you needed another reason to sign up for that. So sit up, don’t relax and learn from our time with Matt Morrison.
