How Churches Are Really Reaching Young People with Dr. Kara Powell 42:28

42:28

The best way for your church to reach young people is to disproportionately dedicate resources to them. At least, that's the thesis from Fuller Youth Institute and an extensive study they conducted of more than ten-thousand hours, thirteen-hundred interviews, and two-hundred and fifty churches. Today we're joined by Dr. Kara Powell to discuss the research she was a part of and also to answer the burning question we're all thinking: if the cost of reaching young people is to disproportionately prioritize them - what does that mean for everyone else?

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (2:39): What is the best way to share to all of social content using 1 app? Question #2 (9:55): How did you guys meet your wives? Question #3 (29:40): We are a small (but multi-generational) church with a part-time staff, all of whom wear many hats, so we are very limited on the content we can create. What platforms and types of content do you think we should be prioritizing when creating? Question #4 (32:15): Which of the social platforms will become the most worthy of investment over the next year or so? I'm a one-woman team and I can only do so much. Question #5 (34:18): Can you do social media post ideas for small churches again with some new ideas? I feel like I post the same thing over and over. I always hear you saying repeat = defeat, every time I repeat a post! Question #6 (45:34): Does Instagram grid aesthetic matter still? I've gotten feedback from some staff that my SocialSermons fill up our Instagram grid and it looks like our pastor is egocentric since the grid is all stills of him. So I've resulted to posting 5-6 photos of families at our weekend services each week in addition at the SocialSermons to keep the grid looking family oriented. That's been a lot of caption writing and it's tough to have that many new pictures weekly. DRAFT SEGMENT (52:39): The Best Christian Rock Festival Lineup Question #7 (01:49:32): I attend a church of less than 100 and have a lot of older generation rather than younger people in the church, due to this, it's sort of hard to explain the concept of social media and technology, especially when we implement them in our events. What's the best way of going about this situation? Question #8 (01:53:24): How much value do you put into boosting posts/ads on social media? Are there any general recommendations you would give for how to use paid advertising on social platforms? Question #9 (01:56:11): If Threads is destined to fail, what is the value in getting started with it? Question #10 (02:00:17): How long and how much work, does it take to shoot a single podcast? Question #11 (02:02:58): What's wrong lately? Question #12 (02:17:13): What's one weird pet peeve you have? Question #13 (02:21:37): Can you make a video on the balance of working in social media? I've been following you for 10 years now, and you constantly have insanely good ideas. All the more, you always give off a presence of peace. I can't work social media like that and a lot of people struggle with the mental side of it. How are you doing this? Question #14 (02:23:05): My Pastor loves videos for everything. He would rather post a video on our website About Us page than write a paragraph explaining who we are. I don’t think people will watching a video and would rather read or even skim the paragraph. Who’s right?…

Question #3 (24:55): Both of you (Brady and Alex) have many interests and irons in the fire, both in business and personally.

Overall, engagement is low both on and offline. How do I as the social media manager help turn it around? Question #2 (09:14): I've been trying to find some data and stats that prove converting our Catholic homilies into short form video would be worth the time it would take to do it. Do you happen to have any data or stats showing performance by churches who are doing this? More specifically, it would be great if it could be data from Catholic Churches. I hear everyone pitching to do it, but cannot find any data to show results. Not to sound all corporate, but what is the ROI?

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question 1A (01:22): I’ve been asked to run a promotion for a campaign to raise money to pay for our HVAC system. I want it to be effective and not cringy. Question 1B (01:30): I’ve been asked to promote the current financial promotion! I need help! To be fair, our church is debt free and raising money for an air conditioner. Nevertheless, how can I make it not so cringy? Question 1C (01:58): My church board wants us to make announcements about our Spring Business Meeting....I know you talk about telling a story (that inspires) for announcements. How do you do that for the annual business meeting? Question #2 (12:17): Our new-ish (about a year) senior pastor is very active on social media. He also shares a lot of our church posts. My question is how much should we share each other's posts? Going through his followers, (a few thousand) I'd say about 1/3 of them also follow the church's accounts, so a lot of the same people may be seeing the same posts on both accounts. Personally, I think it's a great idea for both of us to share each other's posts to stories on IG and FB, and to retweet them, but not so sure about sharing to our IG and FB feeds. What do you suggest? How much sharing should we be doing? Question #3 (15:39): How do you get more followers on a church account? Question #4 (27:36): What did you learn in your last year of life?…

I'm just wondering what you two use to manage your tasks/outlining/mind-mapping. Is it Evernote? Notion? A simple spreadsheet? Question #2 (13:03): My goal on vertical video is to get it under 60 seconds which I’m usually at 58-59 on sermon clips. I’ve noticed clips under 30 seconds possibly doing better. Have you seen a better goal of 15-30 seconds for vertical video? Question #3 (22:39): When you encourage social sermon posts, you point out the importance of the hook at the intersection of faith and culture. In my position, I have influence on our sermon series titles. I'm not sure it makes sense that our sermon series titles should be the same as a social sermon hook, but I feel the faith and culture principle could still apply. Am I putting too much thought into something no one cares about? Question #4 (29:08): Heard you say you never check bags (I think). How do you pack for international travel with all of your camera gear?…

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (01:27): Is "high production" vs. "low production" a heart issue? Question #2 (13:13): For announcements it’s easy to shift to a model of: inspiration and one next step, but I’m wondering how do you shift the vocabulary of your main speakers? I’ve notice that most of the biggest churches have preaching and MCing that use a shared vocabulary, some things are vision statements (which is easy to have a shared language around), some things are cultural statements and some things are functional to that church. But I’m wondering how do they unify behind that? Is there a list of statements or is there a quota per service? Is there a comms strategy meeting that they plan out what to say and what’s worth saying? How do all these different speakers have the same vocabulary? Question #3 (22:52): How soon should I publish our sermon clips after the sermon was first preached? Also, should I be trying to add new designs onto every SocialSermon? Thanks!

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (03:23): What’s the best way to have kids and adults speak up more in testimony videos when doing baptisms or stories? Would this require more vocal coaching to the person who’s story we're filming or creating a more comfortable environment where they aren’t feeling so bashful? Question #2 (18:50): Email signatures: how do you think about these for churches? There are a lot of options from simple plain text to more elaborate ones. What would you recommend a church do and why? Question #3 (23:55): I think you've mentioned that you use Notion. Is that something that just you, Brady, uses, or does the whole company use it? How do you use it? Question #4 (37:50): What would you tell your younger self in the areas of entrepreneurship and friendships?…

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (01:14): Recently our church's FB page was put into "FACEBOOK jail" based on content from a recent sermon. Is this something that we should be concerned about or take it as an object lesson on the "suppression of truth"? Question #2 (19:01): I just received an email about YouTube changing their username/url look up to something call Handles. What is this? And how can I prepare my church to stay ahead of the game on this? Question #3 (24:43): Just got this email from Planning Center Giving and would love to hear your thoughts. PC uses Stripe as their processer and Stripe has a new bank verification service that apparently costs more. Stripe has "retired" the old system. For churches this means ACH transfers now cost $.30 instead of $.25. One, I'm curious if this is affecting nucleus giving? Two, does this feel like a money grab by Stripe or necessary increase in a world of inflation? Question #4 (29:42): Brady, if I someone were to ask me what your taste in music was I might explain by saying "I could see him staying up for the new Swift album release". No hate on Taylor Swift or Swifties. I just slept well that night. As I imagine Alex did. So you and Alex agreeing on a band meant I had to listen. Also, I listen to podcasts at the gym between 9:30pm and 11pm PST. So when I think about texting you, I never do because it feels rude to text someone at 1-2am. So I usually resolve to texting you in the morning and then I forget. I'm realizing today that's dumb because there's no way you would have it set up to be awoken by this text line.…

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (03:22): My church recently had to make a statement on a theological topic that's fairly gray. However, as with many things in ministry, there is always a wide spectrum of response...especially since our church family is extremely diverse. There was a much bigger fallout than what we expected, partially due to incorrect rumors, and it's been a hard season of fracture. Any thoughts on the best way to handle the public face of the church when things are rocky? Question #2 (12:27): A lot of church tech/communications folks are individuals working by themselves and wearing many hats. How do we handle burnout and exhaustion during busier seasons with lots more going on in church (and life) than normal? Question #3 (23:38): What are your favorite fonts to use in design?

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139. Question #1 (01:07): How do I encourage growth and evolution in the way we use social media in a church that likes to stay with tradition? Question #2 (10:21): Do you think a church can post too many clips from a sermon per week? Is there a point where you push out too much content? Question #3 (17:30): Anyone have any thoughts on the "ideal" number of next steps in the Launcher? Any thoughts on a max number? I have been wondering if the Launcher can have too many and get cluttered. Question #4 (28:11): I am trying to create a cohesive feed for all of our church's social media. However, the lighting varies greatly depending on where the photo was taken. Do you have any Lightroom presets you recommend?…

Today, I want to share with you my picks for the best three video camera setups for churches in 2020. Each of these three kits will capture stunning video (and one can even shoot great photos as well) - but, no camera body is perfect. So stick around, and by the end, you'll know what makes each of these three cameras special, but I'll also explain their weaknesses as well. ***FIND THE FULL TRANSCRIPT HERE: https://prochurchtools.com/the-best-church-video-camera-setups-for-2020/ FEATURED RESOURCES & ADDITIONAL LINKS: - Start your 30-day free trial (no credit card required) of Nucleus here: https://www.nucleus.church/ - rebelgive.com - https://get.mintcro.com/ FOLLOW me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/bradyshearer/…

The Dirty Little Secret Of Church Giving Platforms 17:22

Over the next few minutes, I want to pull back the curtain on the dirty little secret of church giving platforms. What I'm about to say is certainly going to upset some people...and to be honest, I have hesitated to publish this for that reason. But, as someone who works in this industry, what's clear to me is that the majority of churches don't understand what's actually happening - and so, my conviction is to explain that as best as I can. And then, it's up to you to do with that information what you wish.

RebelGive, our online giving platform for churches. The idea behind RebelGive is really simple - when someone gives money to your church, your church should get to keep all of it. Your giving provider shouldn't get to keep any for themselves - and your church shouldn't lose any of that gift to processing fees either.

I want you to take a look at something with me for a moment. This is my friend Alex Dion Wilson's TikTok page. At the time of this recording, he's got around three hundred and fifty thousand followers. And that's crazy because he just started using TikTok a couple of months ago and has built this following up from zero in that time. But that's not actually the crazy thing I want to show you.
