I'd Give to THAT Church: A Conversation on Generous Churches with Kenny Jahng

Mission Driven Budget Podcast

Join our conversation with Kenny Jang, founder and CEO of the Big Click Syndicate and CEO and editor-in-chief of Church Tech Today, as we explore what it takes to cultivate and sustain a generous church. Kenny shares his personal journey from almost becoming a pastor to leveraging digital communication to help churches accomplish their mission and become more generous.
Kenny shares his three-part framework on cultivating generosity, practical advice on normalizing money discussions, building effective donor relationships, and identifying different levels of donors in your church. He underscores the importance of engaging volunteers and building meaningful connections, offering stories from his own experiences that beautifully illustrate these concepts. We also tackle the often-neglected topic of external funding and dive deep into ways to build trust and respect between the church and its donors.
By embracing technology, churches can create more impactful services and further their reach. Kenny walks us through the potential of AI in the church space, making the case for the power of technology in spreading the Gospel. He shares his experiences in the Facebook community, AI for Church Leaders, where hundreds are learning and exchanging notes on leveraging AI in ministry. As we wrap up our conversation, Kenny leaves us with ideas on maximizing the impact of year-end giving campaigns and where to find him online. Don't miss this conversation that will leave you with practical generosity strategies you can implement in your church right away.
