So this past Sunday we had a friend’s day at church. The basic premise is that you invite friends to church. (As an aside, shouldn’t every sunday be friend’s day? Yes.) When your friends arrive they are greeted warmly, We talked about why friendship is so important. We had some food afterwards. Everything went reallyContinue reading “Secret Shopper”

Beautiful Seattle Morning
Today is a typical Seattle Autumn day, which means raining. Last night Judah slept better than he has for the past couple of nights so that was nice.

Mondays W/ Mitch
“I wanted to get a parrot, but I got a tape recorder instead. It’s like a parrot who doesn’t fly away. You don’t have to worry about a tape recorder just suddenly leaving, in the name of freedom.”

What a great idea. And theContinue reading “Speaking of Word of Mouth Marketing”

Encourage your church marketing evangelists to tell two friends about you, not just one. Create experiences. YourContinue reading “Word of Mouth Outreach”
Mondays With Mitch
I’m creating an new feature for mondays. Mitch Hedberg is arguably one of the funniest comedians of all time so every monday I will post a joke from the late great mitch. “I bought myself a parrot. The parrot talked. But it did not say, “I’m hungry.” So it died.” Stay tuned for Wednesdays with Wright
Risk-a-phobia
I think the reason that people are fine with things the way they are is because they are afraid of risk. And more importantly they are afraid of failure. I have stuggled with that fear. I used to always want to be other people, or have their ministry or their giftings. But God has reallyContinue reading “Risk-a-phobia”
