Giving people something to talk about
I can't remember if it was Kem Meyer from Granger community church or Seth Godin. Maybe Kem was quoting Seth. Whatever. The conversation was about word of mouth marketing and how it is simply the most powerful tool for marketing a business. The problem is that many businesses don't give anyone anything to talk about.
I wonder if the same could be said for churches. Could it be that we are doing nothing to cause people to ask questions about who we are? Could it be that we lead lives that are almost identical to our next door neighbors? Could it be that people in our churches are bored? Could it be that we may not know why we believe what we say we believe? Could it be that we are misrepresenting Jesus?
I wonder...
