What Parents Look For on Your Church Website (Before They Ever Visit)
What do parents look for on your church website before they ever walk through the door? Usually it’s 9:30 at night, the kids are finally asleep, and your website is the only “greeter” they’re going to meet.
64% of parents say children’s ministry was very important when they chose their church, so if your kids’ info is hard to find online, you might be invisible to the families most likely to show up. In this episode:
The five questions every parent is asking (yes, including “what if my kid melts down?”)
Where each answer should live on your website
How to share kid content without kid faces
The two other “front doors” families find you through: Google and Instagram
A quick family-page checkup, plus the Phone Test homework

Your Church Is Behind on Tech. Good.
Microsoft Publisher is officially gone for Microsoft 365 users, and if your church feels a little behind on tech right now... honestly? That might be the best news you've heard all year.
Most of us didn't choose our church software, we inherited it (right along with that casserole dish nobody's allowed to throw away). So let's talk about why being ten or twenty years behind means your church gets to leapfrog straight to the tools that exist right now, which tend to be cheaper, easier, and way more powerful. Plus:
New 2026 data on church tech and AI from Barna, Pushpay, and Lifeway
Why Affinity opening Publisher files is such a big deal for church bulletins
My latest software finds, and a couple of duds (looking at you, Adobe)
A three-question software audit you can do on the back of an old bulletin

Stewardship Season Without the Squirm: 5 Stories to Tell
Every October, churches hold their breath, design a thermometer graphic and hope the pledge cards come back. This episode is about everything that should happen BEFORE the thermometer. A stewardship campaign is a storytelling campaign, and the ask comes last. Leslie walks through five ministry stories worth telling (circle suppers, the community meal, your music program, children's ministry and your staff), how to photograph kids and vulnerable neighbors with care, and the vision piece almost every campaign skips. Plus, how to pace it all over several weeks using the Event Ease phases.
