Today I’m gonna give you a powerful way to manage your “List of Important Things to Do” so that you always have a successful and great week (even when you can’t get around to doing most of that long list of todos)!

A lot of church leaders get this totally backwards. You have so many things to communicate and so many channels to communicate on (email, social media, website, text messages, announcements, flyers, and on and on), but which of these should you be spending more time on? And which are we maybe spending too much time on already? With limited resources (i.e. your time, money, etc.), the best leaders know how to invest time in the smartest places that make the biggest impact.

During COVID, the most powerful message sent by church leaders was not among the ones communicated by text message, website, email, or any digital tool or media. It was the message communicated by our actions. People saw what we did. And that message rang loud and clear. In some cases, it was an incredibly inspiring message. In others, it wasn’t. What message do we want to send as we continue to lead our flocks through this?

When COVID hit last year and everything locked down, some churches found they had no trouble reaching their people. For many others, though, they learned quickly just how few of their people they could really reach directly when they needed to most! How’d your church do? Join us as we analyze one of the most important lessons-learned from this whole crisis.
