episode AI for Ministry: You’re the Driver, AI Is the GPS artwork

AI for Ministry: You’re the Driver, AI Is the GPS

AI in ministry brings up a lot of feelings, and that makes sense! The good news is that nobody serious is suggesting AI should write your sermons, replace pastoral care, or make theological decisions for your church. Those things belong to you and your community. The administrative and communications work that piles up around ministry though? That is where AI can be a helpful tool. In this episode, I'm sharing what I taught in a room full of Presbyterian clergy about using AI for ministry with clarity, ethics, and confidence. We'll talk about why AI works like GPS (you're still the one driving), where it actually helps with church communications, and where it has no business showing up at all. I'll also walk you through a simple five-part prompt formula you can use for newsletters, event announcements, social posts, and other recurring ministry tasks. The goal is AI that sounds like your church, with your voice and your people in mind. Check out the Digital Ministry Voice tool here: studiokons.com/dmv

episode Digital Ministry Isn’t Marketing… But It Can Learn From It! artwork

Digital Ministry Isn’t Marketing… But It Can Learn From It!

A lot of church leaders hear the word marketing and immediately tense up. It feels corporate. Transactional. Maybe even a little manipulative. And honestly? I get that. But in this episode, I want to make the case that while digital ministry and church marketing are not the same thing, there are important things ministry leaders can learn from good marketing principles—especially when it comes to communication, trust, consistency, and helping people feel seen. We’re talking about why audience research looks a lot like pastoral care, why consistency builds trust online, how your church’s digital presence shapes first impressions long before someone walks through the door, and why the best digital ministry is always relationship-driven. I’m also sharing what surprised me most when I studied marketing formally through Harvard Business School Online, and why some of the strongest ministry and marketing frameworks actually arrive at the same place. Because this isn’t about turning your church into a brand. It’s about learning how to communicate your ministry more clearly, more consistently, and more faithfully online.

episode Your Church Email List Is Your Most Loyal Audience (Here’s How to Actually Use It) artwork

Your Church Email List Is Your Most Loyal Audience (Here’s How to Actually Use It)

Your email list is the only channel you actually own — and for mainline churches especially, it's your most direct line to lapsed members, snowbirds, and people in transition who aren't ready to walk through the door yet. In this episode, Leslie breaks down why most church email falls flat (hint: "May Newsletter" is not a subject line), the one-person rule that transforms your tone instantly, subject lines that actually get opened, a three-part structure that takes fifteen minutes to write, and why showing up consistently in someone's inbox is its own form of pastoral care. Plus: a callback to last week's sermon episode that ties it all together.

episode How to Turn One Sermon Into a Full Week of Church Content artwork

How to Turn One Sermon Into a Full Week of Church Content

Great news: you don’t need more ideas for what to post! Your church is already creating meaningful content every single week.... you’re just not using it fully yet. In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple, sustainable way to build your church communications and digital ministry around something that’s already happening: the sermon. Instead of scrambling to come up with social media posts, emails, and website updates from scratch, you’ll learn how to turn one message into a full week of connected content that actually reflects what’s happening on Sunday morning. We’ll talk about how to use the sermon before Sunday, during worship, and in the days that follow so your church social media, email, and website all feel aligned and intentional. I’ll show you how to pull out the key elements of a sermon (the theme, scripture, story, and invitation) and turn them into posts, reflection questions, newsletter content, and even short-form video. Because your message deserves to go further than the sanctuary... and your digital presence should make that possible!

episode Church Event Promotion: How to Actually Get People to Show Up artwork

Church Event Promotion: How to Actually Get People to Show Up

You planned a beautiful event. The logistics were solid, the volunteers showed up, everything ran smoothly. And the room still wasn't as full as you hoped. That's a promotion problem. And it's a fixable one. In this episode I'm breaking down why so many church events — community dinners, VBS kickoffs, spring concerts, outreach gatherings — end up reaching the same familiar faces instead of the new ones you were hoping for. We'll cover the most common promotion mistakes churches make, how to write event copy that actually feels like an invitation, and how to think about your audiences in concentric circles so you're building toward your outer community, not just communicating with the people already in the room. I'll also walk you through a practical promotion timeline you can follow without burning out, a channel-by-channel breakdown that includes your website, email, social media, and your Google Business profile, and the one post-event move that almost every church skips — and really shouldn't. Plus I'll tell you about Event Ease, my event promotion guide and plan generator for churches, and how it takes everything I teach in this episode and turns it into a custom, ready-to-follow plan for your specific event. You can get it here: https://www.studiokons.com/eventease If you've got events coming up this spring and you want more people to actually show up, this one's for you.
