About Effective Church Communications Podcast by Yvon Prehn
Church communication is one of the most challenging ministries because it is the connection hub of the entire church. To do it effectively requires more than the latest images, social media, and technology tips. You need timeless strategy, inspiration, and Biblical challenges that work no matter what tech tools and channels you use, the size of your church, or age of your audience. You'll get them here. This podcast is part of the ministry of Effective Church Communications, www.effectivechurchcom.com. Go there for articles, resources, training, and templates that are ministry-effective.
Storytelling is very popular currently. Just today I got yet another promotion of a
“Learn How to Tell Stories” webinar.
Though storytelling is perennially popular, our Bible is made up of stories, after all, we must also be aware of some cautions in it—and that’s what this podcast is all about….
Hi, I’m Yvon Prehn with Effective Church Communications and today I’m in my role as a curmudgeon and want to share some cautions and advice concerning stories, that we in the church more often refer to as “testimonies.”

#29 Your Chaplain of Communications—the unique ways Yvon Prehn and Effective Church Communications can serve you
There are many useful resources available online to help you in your work as a church communicator. Considering that I was recently thinking about what makes my ministry of Effective Church Communications useful for you—what to expect from me that is unique or different from what is available from other sources.
Though I’ll break it into practical parts for you shortly, overall, I realized a good label for me would be Your Chaplain of Church Communications. This covers what I do, as a chaplain is defined as one—
Who provides spiritual care and resources
Is a mentor and a reassuring and trustworthy presence
Who assists with the spiritual, religious, and emotional needs
Caring for your spiritual needs and providing resources for you as a church communicator is foundational to what I do for two reasons:
The spiritual importance of who you are as a church communicator.
The unique ways I can help you be more effective based on the spiritual, Biblical foundation of the resources of Effective Church Communications.

#28 How to Make the Most of Halloween for Evangelism
Halloween—it has become such a contentious time in the church. Even mentioning the term "Halloween" upsets some because of its pagan origins.
In response to that, many churches have switched from calling "Halloween" events to "Fall Festivals." I get it; I totally understand but bear with me a minute and consider that changing the name in this way takes away some of the potentials for using this holiday as an evangelism outreach time.
What follows is not another Christian justification as to why you should let your kids go trick or treating, but an attempt to help you see how Halloween can be used as a significant time for evangelism. It really doesn't matter ultimately if you change the name or not but I want you to understand why I even bring up this point. The Apostle Paul said we should be all things to all people that we might win some and my contemporary paraphrase of his imperative of evangelism is that we need to use EVERY opportunity, every holiday, every time that we can to introduce people to Jesus.
Please consider what I'm about to share in this podcast and I hope you'll agree that Halloween can be one of the best times of the year to motivate people to consider the gospel.
