It Ain’t Wrong to Promote Your Church (for more people & partners)
Free jewel: Don't underestimate how often you need to promote your church
One of the biggest mistakes I see urban planters making is being too cool to promote their church.
The idea that you will somehow grow a church by preaching dope sermons and street cred? Bruh! You trippin’!
Based on my experience, you should be spending between 10% and 20% of your time promoting your ministry in a way that presents an opportunity and calls for a response.
That opportunity should be to partner with you, either through a visit or supporting the mission through giving.
There is a stark difference between days when I present and promote an opportunity and when I don't:
I get more podcast listeners, book purchases, speaking opportunities, and ministry partners.
A 5x to 10x difference.
But beyond the clicks and donations, here’s the bigger picture: you're slowly bringing people closer to real-life transformations.
Just recently, I got a text from an old friend that reminded me of this truth.
They’ve been thinking about partnering with the Dope Daily Audio Bible for about a year. It wasn’t a new pitch that made them move… it was just a reminder.
They needed to hear from me again.
How many partners are out there waiting to support or visit your church?
