The Pro Church Tools Show with Brady Shearer

Send in your question via text to 1-800-485-3139.

Question #1 (00:45): Our average attendance is around 60 people. Over half of those are students ages 16 to 22. The students run sound, do set up tear down, and do the all the food and drinks for fellowship. Most of our adults are every other week maybe in attendance. I so badly wish I had a fresh set of eyes to see what I could do to keep our adults engaged. We are a student led church.

Question #2 (09:41): What are your thoughts on which tithing options to offer? How many are too many? Is it seen outdated to pass a physical plate?

Question #3 (19:36): How do you feel about "Text CONNECT to 00000" as a CTA versus go to "graceky.org"? Is it better to just stick with the website url?

Question #4 (22:48): Any advice for my first time managing interns?

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?
