Join Jan Touchberry as she breaks down essential steps for starting and growing your email list, prioritizing a faith-based marketing strategy over social media.

In this first episode of our “Fix What’s Not Working” series, Jan gets into the one tool every Christian business owner needs in 2025: an email list. If you've ignored it, ghosted it, or feel overwhelmed about starting it—this is your pep talk and your action plan.

Jan shares why email marketing is still the most powerful, personal, and profitable way to connect with your audience—and walks you through 5 simple steps to get started (or restarted) this week.

What's discussed:

• Why email is more effective than social media for sales and connection
• What to do if your social media reach suddenly drops or disappears
• The real reason we avoid building an email list (hint: perfectionism & pressure)
• How to show up with value, not fluff—in your own voice
• A 5-step starter guide for building your list this week (no lead magnet required!)
• How to pick the right email platform (and Jan’s favorite)
• What to include in your very first welcome email
• Where to share your email signup link to get more visibility
• How email ties into faithful stewardship and calling as a Christian entrepreneur
