Does digital ministry ever feel like a scavenger hunt?Sticky notes, mystery logins, and Dropbox folders named DO NOT DELETE—we’ve all been there.

In this episode of Digital Ministry Made Easy, I’m opening up my “church nerd” toolbox and sharing the shiny, time-saving tools I wish every church knew about. These are the tools that save hours, lighten the load, and help you spend more time with people instead of wrestling with tech.

Ever feel like church communication online starts to sound more like selling than sharing? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Leslie unpacks why digital ministry was never meant to look like marketing—and why that explains the “ick” so many pastors, staff, and volunteers feel. You’ll hear a quick history of how marketing crept into church life, what’s actually worth borrowing (clarity, consistency, storytelling, celebration), and what you can leave behind without guilt (flashiness, gimmicks, manipulation).

Walk away with a simpler, more invitational way to share who you are and the great things happening in your community—without the pressure to look like a brand.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re late to digital ministry, you’re actually right on time. In this episode, we take the pressure off, get practical about where to start, and help you focus on two simple priorities that make the biggest impact right away. You’ll hear a personal story, quick wins you can try this week, and why slow, steady steps are the secret to sustainable digital ministry.

That’s why I started this podcast. Each week, I’ll share practical tools, simple strategies, and a whole lot of encouragement to help your church’s digital presence feel less stressful and more sustainable.

In this short bonus episode, you’ll hear a bit of my story, how I ended up serving as both a Director of Music and Digital Ministry, and why I believe digital ministry can actually be life-giving — not just another burden on your plate.

If you’ve ever wanted someone in your corner saying, “you’ve got this — and here’s a clear next step,” this podcast is for you.
