Are your church’s outreach efforts falling flat—even though you’re running ads, building your website, and following best practices? In this episode, Jono Long sits down with Tyler Harden from Firm Foundations Marketing to reveal the #1 mistake most churches make in their growth strategy: not truly knowing their community. Tyler shares practical wisdom on identifying your church’s ideal audience, debunking surface-level targeting terms like “young families” and “unchurched,” and how post-COVID ministry must shift to meet people where they are. Discover the Five P’s of Church Targeting, why authenticity always wins, and why “being for everyone” usually means reaching no one. Whether you’re a rural church with 30 members or a large congregation with resources, this episode delivers fresh, hopeful clarity for engaging your mission field more effectively. Perfect for pastors, church communicators, and outreach leaders.
