The other part of single Sunday, okay? The other part of single Sunday, okay? The other part of this is you want your plan to be this is you want your plan to be this is you want your plan to be connected and build momentum month by connected and build momentum month by connected and build momentum month by month, okay? This is a huge opportunity month, okay? This is a huge opportunity month, okay? This is a huge opportunity because we we do see this that churches because we we do see this that churches because we we do see this that churches that do have a plan, sometimes it feels that do have a plan, sometimes it feels that do have a plan, sometimes it feels disconnected. So, this ministry is doing disconnected. So, this ministry is doing disconnected. So, this ministry is doing that thing and that department is doing that thing and that department is doing that thing and that department is doing that thing. That depart And at the end that thing. That depart And at the end that thing. That depart And at the end of a year, it just feels like, "Man, we of a year, it just feels like, "Man, we of a year, it just feels like, "Man, we did a lot of activity, but we don't know did a lot of activity, but we don't know did a lot of activity, but we don't know if we really made any progress." Like we if we really made any progress." Like we if we really made any progress." Like we had visitors maybe or we had some good had visitors maybe or we had some good had visitors maybe or we had some good things happening, but at the end of the things happening, but at the end of the things happening, but at the end of the day it feels like we're on a treadmill day it feels like we're on a treadmill day it feels like we're on a treadmill of never-ending ideas and and that's of never-ending ideas and and that's of never-ending ideas and and that's where you want a plan, but you want a where you want a plan, but you want a where you want a plan, but you want a coordinated plan that month by month coordinated plan that month by month coordinated plan that month by month builds you visitor momentum, okay?

That's why we to figure all of that out. That's why we exist to help you on that. But online exist to help you on that. But online exist to help you on that. But online can be powerful in getting out hundreds can be powerful in getting out hundreds can be powerful in getting out hundreds of invites every single month. Ministry of invites every single month. Ministry of invites every single month. Ministry invites. We love this one. We talk a lot invites. We love this one. We talk a lot invites. We love this one.

The fourth way is event invites. Many churches, this is event invites. Many churches, this is event invites. Many churches, this is probably your strongest one, where when probably your strongest one, where when probably your strongest one, where when it comes to the big events throughout it comes to the big events throughout it comes to the big events throughout your year. We call them momentum your year. We call them momentum your year. We call them momentum seasons. You're You're thinking about seasons. You're You're thinking about seasons. You're You're thinking about like Easter, Mother's Days, uh like a like Easter, Mother's Days, uh like a like Easter, Mother's Days, uh like a big fall back-to-school outreach, and big fall back-to-school outreach, and big fall back-to-school outreach, and Christmas.

But I'm telling you, if you awesome. But I'm telling you, if you want more visitors, we got to think not want more visitors, we got to think not want more visitors, we got to think not how do we get 20 more invites out. We how do we get 20 more invites out. We how do we get 20 more invites out. We got to think about how do we get got to think about how do we get got to think about how do we get thousands of more invites out, okay? If thousands of more invites out, okay? If thousands of more invites out, okay? If the world needs to hear the gospel, we the world needs to hear the gospel, we the world needs to hear the gospel, we got to think, man, we got It doesn't 20 got to think, man, we got It doesn't 20 got to think, man, we got It doesn't 20 doesn't do it anymore. Like, 200, 2,000, doesn't do it anymore. Like, 200, 2,000, doesn't do it anymore. Like, 200, 2,000, okay? So, I'm just telling you, just okay? So, I'm just telling you, just okay? So, I'm just telling you, just write that down. The number one rule of write that down. The number one rule of write that down. The number one rule of church growth, if you want more church growth, if you want more church growth, if you want more visitors, you need to get out way more visitors, you need to get out way more visitors, you need to get out way more invites. I love to use this analogy of a invites. I love to use this analogy of a invites. I love to use this analogy of a of a farm corn farmer. I'm not a corn of a farm corn farmer. I'm not a corn of a farm corn farmer. I'm not a corn farmer, but I know I know this. If you farmer, but I know I know this. If you farmer, but I know I know this. If you wanted a huge harvest, you're just like, wanted a huge harvest, you're just like, wanted a huge harvest, you're just like, "Ryan, we're praying for a harvest.

"Ryan, we're praying for a harvest. "Ryan, we're praying for a harvest. We're dreaming for a harvest. We believe We're dreaming for a harvest. We believe We're dreaming for a harvest. We believe in the harvest." And I ask you, "Okay, in the harvest." And I ask you, "Okay, in the harvest." And I ask you, "Okay, farmer, how much corn seed are you farmer, how much corn seed are you farmer, how much corn seed are you putting in the ground?" You're like, putting in the ground?" You're like, putting in the ground?" You're like, "Well, we're not worried about that "Well, we're not worried about that "Well, we're not worried about that right now, but we're praying for a right now, but we're praying for a right now, but we're praying for a harvest. We're believing for a harvest." harvest. We're believing for a harvest." harvest. We're believing for a harvest." But how much seed are you putting in the But how much seed are you putting in the But how much seed are you putting in the ground? Well, no, Ryan, we're going to ground? Well, no, Ryan, we're going to ground? Well, no, Ryan, we're going to we're going to get a new tractor. We're we're going to get a new tractor. We're we're going to get a new tractor. We're going to get We're going to get some new going to get We're going to get some new going to get We're going to get some new scarecrows out. We're going to get some scarecrows out. We're going to get some scarecrows out. We're going to get some new fertilizer. And I'll be like, how new fertilizer. And I'll be like, how new fertilizer. And I'll be like, how much seed are you putting in the ground, much seed are you putting in the ground, much seed are you putting in the ground, okay? So, I I it hopefully he sends the okay? So, I I it hopefully he sends the okay? So, I I it hopefully he sends the urgency. If you want more visitors, you urgency. If you want more visitors, you urgency. If you want more visitors, you got to get more seed in the ground. And got to get more seed in the ground. And got to get more seed in the ground. And the the seed that in this analogy is the the seed that in this analogy is the the seed that in this analogy is your invites, okay? So, there needs to your invites, okay? So, there needs to your invites, okay? So, there needs to be an urgency here that we've got to get be an urgency here that we've got to get be an urgency here that we've got to get If we want a harvest, we got to get more If we want a harvest, we got to get more If we want a harvest, we got to get more seed in the ground. We see that all seed in the ground. We see that all seed in the ground. We see that all throughout the Bible in the law of the throughout the Bible in the law of the throughout the Bible in the law of the harvest, right? harvest, right? harvest, right? You're going to reap what you sow. You're going to reap what you sow. You're going to reap what you sow. You're going to reap in a different You're going to reap in a different You're going to reap in a different season than you sow. You're going to season than you sow. You're going to season than you sow. You're going to reap more than you sow. But, for a lot reap more than you sow. But, for a lot reap more than you sow. But, for a lot of our churches, we're not sowing near of our churches, we're not sowing near of our churches, we're not sowing near enough invites, okay? And And Chris says enough invites, okay? And And Chris says enough invites, okay? And And Chris says this, I love this. Your Sunday this, I love this. Your Sunday this, I love this. Your Sunday attendance is a direct reflection on the attendance is a direct reflection on the attendance is a direct reflection on the amount of people that got invited that amount of people that got invited that amount of people that got invited that week. So, if you're frustrated in in the week. So, if you're frustrated in in the week. So, if you're frustrated in in the maybe a lack of attendance or a lack of maybe a lack of attendance or a lack of maybe a lack of attendance or a lack of visitors, I think you just need to pause visitors, I think you just need to pause visitors, I think you just need to pause for a second and ask yourself, how much for a second and ask yourself, how much for a second and ask yourself, how much seed are we putting in the ground? And seed are we putting in the ground? And seed are we putting in the ground? And then if you're if that answer isn't then if you're if that answer isn't then if you're if that answer isn't exciting you and doesn't excite and fire exciting you and doesn't excite and fire exciting you and doesn't excite and fire up your congregation, then you need to up your congregation, then you need to up your congregation, then you need to ask, well, what are we going to do to ask, well, what are we going to do to ask, well, what are we going to do to totally transform this area? And can we totally transform this area? And can we totally transform this area? And can we do the most, okay? What Here's what we do the most, okay? What Here's what we do the most, okay? What Here's what we like to do for this. We like to do like to do for this. We like to do like to do for this. We like to do what's called an automatic invite what's called an automatic invite what's called an automatic invite system. And that's where I'm going to system. And that's where I'm going to system. And that's where I'm going to focus a lot of this workshop because it

But for this workshop, I'm going to focus for this workshop, I'm going to focus for this workshop, I'm going to focus specifically on that automatic invite specifically on that automatic invite specifically on that automatic invite system because it's the best way and our system because it's the best way and our system because it's the best way and our favorite way to get more seed in the favorite way to get more seed in the favorite way to get more seed in the ground for your church. So, you're like, ground for your church. So, you're like, ground for your church. So, you're like, "Ryan, what is an automatic invite "Ryan, what is an automatic invite "Ryan, what is an automatic invite system?" Most pastors I talk to say, "I system?" Most pastors I talk to say, "I system?" Most pastors I talk to say, "I love that. I don't know what it is. I'm love that. I don't know what it is. I'm love that. I don't know what it is. I'm interested. Tell me more." I was like, interested. Tell me more." I was like, interested. Tell me more." I was like, "Okay, pastor. An automatic invite "Okay, pastor. An automatic invite "Okay, pastor. An automatic invite system is this. It's simply a system system is this. It's simply a system system is this. It's simply a system that's going to work for you on this that's going to work for you on this that's going to work for you on this visitor and invite front, even if your visitor and invite front, even if your visitor and invite front, even if your people don't invite, even if you don't people don't invite, even if you don't people don't invite, even if you don't have a big team, even if you don't have have a big team, even if you don't have have a big team, even if you don't have enough time, even if you don't have a enough time, even if you don't have a enough time, even if you don't have a big budget, even if you don't have big budget, even if you don't have big budget, even if you don't have enough volunteers, even if you already enough volunteers, even if you already enough volunteers, even if you already feel overwhelmed, and even if you don't feel overwhelmed, and even if you don't feel overwhelmed, and even if you don't know how." Does that sound good? I like
-
know how." Does that sound good? I like know how." Does that sound good? I like to use a sprinkler system analogy to use a sprinkler system analogy to use a sprinkler system analogy because it was a game-changer in my because it was a game-changer in my because it was a game-changer in my life, this moment that I had. And And life, this moment that I had. And And life, this moment that I had. And And when we bought our first home in when we bought our first home in when we bought our first home in Southwest Missouri, okay, I was on staff Southwest Missouri, okay, I was on staff Southwest Missouri, okay, I was on staff at a at a church. We bought our first at a at a church. We bought our first at a at a church. We bought our first home, and something in me clicked and home, and something in me clicked and home, and something in me clicked and was like, "You know what? I For some was like, "You know what? I For some was like, "You know what? I For some reason, I wanted amazing-looking lawn. I reason, I wanted amazing-looking lawn. I reason, I wanted amazing-looking lawn. I wanted a healthy lawn." And so, I spent wanted a healthy lawn." And so, I spent wanted a healthy lawn." And so, I spent the first few summers at night dragging the first few summers at night dragging the first few summers at night dragging around this sprinkler, okay? And I would around this sprinkler, okay? And I would around this sprinkler, okay? And I would drag it out into the lawn, and I would drag it out into the lawn, and I would drag it out into the lawn, and I would spend hours moving it around. And I spend hours moving it around. And I spend hours moving it around. And I remember after like two or three summers remember after like two or three summers remember after like two or three summers of doing this, and I didn't feel any of doing this, and I didn't feel any of doing this, and I didn't feel any more My lawn wasn't any healthier. It more My lawn wasn't any healthier. It more My lawn wasn't any healthier. It wasn't any any greener. It wasn't any wasn't any any greener. It wasn't any wasn't any any greener. It wasn't any better. And I was remembering I was just better. And I was remembering I was just better. And I was remembering I was just before a team meeting, I was just kind before a team meeting, I was just kind before a team meeting, I was just kind of complaining. And And Brian Mansker on of complaining. And And Brian Mansker on of complaining. And And Brian Mansker on our team said, "Wakefield, if you want a our team said, "Wakefield, if you want a our team said, "Wakefield, if you want a healthy lawn in Southwest Missouri, you healthy lawn in Southwest Missouri, you healthy lawn in Southwest Missouri, you need a sprinkler system." And at that need a sprinkler system." And at that need a sprinkler system." And at that moment, the lightbulb went out, and I moment, the lightbulb went out, and I moment, the lightbulb went out, and I said, "Mansker, I think you're right." said, "Mansker, I think you're right." said, "Mansker, I think you're right." We were able to get a system, and it We were able to get a system, and it We were able to get a system, and it didn't matter if I had was pulling didn't matter if I had was pulling didn't matter if I had was pulling all-nighters up at the church working on all-nighters up at the church working on all-nighters up at the church working on the vision video, or whatever was going the vision video, or whatever was going the vision video, or whatever was going on, man, that that system was working.

on, man, that that system was working. on, man, that that system was working. Zone one, Zone one, Zone one, zone two, zone three, zone two, zone three, zone two, zone three, and and that was a game-changer in going and and that was a game-changer in going and and that was a game-changer in going from frustration to fruit. From going from frustration to fruit. From going from frustration to fruit. From going from a lawn that I was putting in a lot from a lawn that I was putting in a lot from a lawn that I was putting in a lot of work, but I wasn't seeing a lot of of work, but I wasn't seeing a lot of of work, but I wasn't seeing a lot of results, the system allowed it to be results, the system allowed it to be results, the system allowed it to be repeatable and allowed us to make repeatable and allowed us to make repeatable and allowed us to make progress over time. And so, I want you progress over time. And so, I want you progress over time. And so, I want you guys to know, if you feel frustrated, guys to know, if you feel frustrated, guys to know, if you feel frustrated, it's probably because you don't have the it's probably because you don't have the it's probably because you don't have the system in place that that works for you system in place that that works for you system in place that that works for you all all the time, okay? And so, when we all all the time, okay? And so, when we all all the time, okay? And so, when we talk about an automatic invite system, talk about an automatic invite system, talk about an automatic invite system, the why I love it is because of these the why I love it is because of these the why I love it is because of these three essential elements. Number one, if three essential elements. Number one, if three essential elements. Number one, if you're going to build one for your you're going to build one for your you're going to build one for your church, you need to make sure it helps church, you need to make sure it helps church, you need to make sure it helps you get way more invites out, like way, you get way more invites out, like way, you get way more invites out, like way, way, way more invites out. Number two, way, way more invites out. Number two, way, way more invites out. Number two, it needs to be a system that makes sure it needs to be a system that makes sure it needs to be a system that makes sure that you are always inviting your that you are always inviting your that you are always inviting your community, no matter what. If you have community, no matter what. If you have community, no matter what.

So, it lawn in southwest Missouri, okay? So, it lawn in southwest Missouri, okay? So, it needs to make sure there's way more needs to make sure there's way more needs to make sure there's way more going out. Needs to make sure that it's going out. Needs to make sure that it's going out. Needs to make sure that it's always inviting, and then you need to always inviting, and then you need to always inviting, and then you need to make sure that it is build building make sure that it is build building make sure that it is build building momentum every single month, okay? So, momentum every single month, okay? So, momentum every single month, okay? So, you have a plan where you it just keeps you have a plan where you it just keeps you have a plan where you it just keeps improving, okay? So, I want to walk you improving, okay?

It's like, well, no, let's not blame me. It's like, well, no, let's not blame me. It's like, well, no, let's not blame the algorithm. Like, so, the way it the algorithm. Like, so, the way it the algorithm. Like, so, the way it works with the Google Grant is really works with the Google Grant is really works with the Google Grant is really interesting. It's actually brilliant. interesting. It's actually brilliant. interesting. It's actually brilliant. They get to give away something that They get to give away something that They get to give away something that doesn't cost them anything, okay? So, doesn't cost them anything, okay? So, doesn't cost them anything, okay? So, it's not like it cost them anything for it's not like it cost them anything for it's not like it cost them anything for the ads. And so, they get to give it the ads. And so, they get to give it the ads. And so, they get to give it away and then away and then away and then make it a tax write-off. Because now make it a tax write-off. Because now make it a tax write-off. Because now they have made a tax write-off, so all they have made a tax write-off, so all they have made a tax write-off, so all the profits they get take against that. the profits they get take against that. the profits they get take against that.

But, also, what's helping the world. But, also, what's helping the world. But, also, what's brilliant is this is a ad the ad system brilliant is this is a ad the ad system brilliant is this is a ad the ad system is based on bids. So, if they are giving is based on bids. So, if they are giving is based on bids. So, if they are giving you a grant, so I'm going to give you you a grant, so I'm going to give you you a grant, so I'm going to give you $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 to bid against the money to bid against the money to bid against the money that the for-profit companies have to that the for-profit companies have to that the for-profit companies have to pay. So, if this ad was going to cost, pay. So, if this ad was going to cost, pay. So, if this ad was going to cost, let's say the local car dealership, a let's say the local car dealership, a let's say the local car dealership, a dollar, dollar, dollar, I'm going to give Ryan $10,000 to bid I'm going to give Ryan $10,000 to bid I'm going to give Ryan $10,000 to bid against them. So, now they have to pay against them. So, now they have to pay against them. So, now they have to pay $2.

Summary
This transcript focuses on empowering pastors to overcome frustration with low church invitation rates. It emphasizes that instead of assuming congregations should invite, leaders should focus on inspiring them by demonstrating church growth and using ChurchFuel's system. The practical takeaway is to move from discouragement to faith and excitement by building a system that inspires and doubles down on invitations.
