How (and why) to start an online ministry

I got into podcasting several years ago. After listening to a bunch of shows and seeing the impact they were having on me, I felt like it was time to start creating content, and that was one of the best ministry decisions I ever made.

I'd like to suggest something to you, maybe just as food for thought, or maybe as a call to action right now. If you're a regular listener of podcasts that help you grow in your faith, have you ever thought about creating faith-based content that can also be digitally delivered throughout the world? Maybe it's time for you to start your own podcast, or blog, or YouTube channel, or even write a book.

If you've ever had an inclining to do something like that, or to create an online ministry platform, let me encourage you to do it. When I started my podcasts, I had no idea that the day would come when they'd be downloaded millions of times all throughout the world. When I started writing my blog, I truly didn't know if people would read it and share the articles. When I started writing books, I didn't know if people would buy them or read them. I stepped out on faith to do these things, and now, after several years of creating this content each day, I'm able to reach more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ than at any previous season of my life.

And I'd like to help you do the same exact thing.

Not long ago, I started a membership community to help people create online ministry platforms. I'm helping people build and grow podcasts. I'm helping people write blogs and books. I'm helping people get their websites up and running. I'm even helping people earn a living with some of this, so they can dedicate more time to it.

My membership community is called Platform Launchers. In our group you'll find pastors, ministry volunteers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and other creative people that are working together to share the message they're most passionate about online.

Platform Launchers meets for live training with me, once a week. We also have a training vault of previous videos from earlier training sessions and webinars. We also have a seven video series that we call the "Launch Plan." I put it together to show people who are interested in starting an online ministry how to get the ball rolling, where to start, what equipment they need, and how to do it all on a limited budget.

And if any of this interests you, I want you to know that right now, you can watch the Launch Plan video series and all of our content for free. Just go to PlatformLaunchers.com and sign up for our 14-day test drive. You can also join us for our live training sessions during those two weeks. If you want to remain a member after that, you're certainly welcome to, but you aren't obligated to.

Over the course of the coming year, it's my goal to help at least 100 people build and grow an online ministry platform. It took me years to learn how to do it, but I'd like to help you learn these concepts and get started in just a couple weeks.

Check it out if this sounds like the right thing for you. Visit PlatformLaunchers.com to watch the Launch Plan videos and our other content for free for the next two weeks.

Thanks,
John
