Dale welcomes communications strategist Kimberly Tarlton for a practical conversation about how small and midsize churches can communicate with greater clarity, purpose, and impact. Together, they explore why communications is far more than promoting events—it’s a ministry that helps align every area of the church around its mission while making it easier for people outside the church to take a first step.

Kimberly shares practical strategies for moving from reactive to proactive planning, prioritizing the right messages, and creating communications that serve both your congregation and your community. The conversation covers everything from planning rhythms and volunteer engagement to websites, social media, and making the most of limited time and resources. Whether your church has a communications team or you’re doing it all yourself, this episode offers simple, actionable ideas to help you communicate more effectively and reach more people.
