As a church, your mission never changes. Collectively, we are all focused on helping people know and growing closer to Jesus. But what happens when the tools and technology we use change? Do we stick to what is familiar and established? Or should we expand our options and take a chance on new ways of thinking and serving?

Who is your church trying to reach? If you have a hard time answering that question with a specific answer, we want to help you out! Every church is in a specific place, with specific resources, at a specific time—so you have a unique opportunity to reach certain people in ways other churches can't. Aimee and Shayla talk about how to identify your audience, why it matters, and what next steps you can take to help your church leaders understand the importance of audience.

78: Why You Need to Define Your Audience

In this episode, Dale Sellers from the 95 Network joins us to talk about three unique challenges small churches are facing today. Dale brings practical experience and a deep passion for small churches, which he calls the "bread and butter" of the church in America. More than 95% of churches today are less than 500 people. How can church leaders lead with a strong mission and vision? How do they create a discipleship path? Dale brings practical insight and an inspiring drive to help small churches thrive.
