Episode notes
Comms As Craft And Calling
- The podcast name nods to biblical craftsmanship: ornate gourds, pomegranates and Bezalel as models of excellence.
- Joe and Hannah argue comms deserves skilled, Spirit-led attention, not informal afterthoughts.
Podcast Began In A Virtual Breakout
- Joe and Hannah first met in a virtual networking breakout during the pandemic and later recorded in person only a few times.
- They built the podcast relationship from online networking to occasional in-person sessions.
Prioritise Simple Comms Plans
- Start with a simple comms plan and prioritise key messages rather than trying to say everything.
- Focus on shifting the majority of churches from '0 to 10' rather than pushing already-advanced churches further.
