Do you feel appreciated for all the hard work you do in creating church communications? I’ve been hearing from a lot of people recently, that with all the current increased demands on communicators, that many don’t feel appreciated. How about you?
Hi, I’m Yvon Prehn and Welcome to The Devotions for Church Communicators Podcast!
As you’ll see today, how we react in times like this depends a lot on how we see our identity, our role as a church communicator and that’s what I want to talk about.
As always in this short podast I want to help you focus on God’s Word, the incredible calling you have to share God’s message of salvation, and to strengthen and encourage you.
This podcast is from me, Yvon Prehn and my ministry Effective Church Communications.
Following is the Podcast and below that the transcript of it.
