FCLP 42 | 3 Keys to Church Announcements People Actually WANT to Hear

In this practical leadership episode of the Female Church Leaders Podcast, Kadi Cole reframes a task many leaders treat as throwaway: giving church announcements. For many female church leaders, it's one of the first platform opportunities they're given, and how you handle it shapes how much responsibility you're trusted with next. She offers three keys to making it count.

You'll gain a way to connect an announcement to your church's vision instead of just reading a calendar, why preparing three minutes well can be harder than a full message, and what to think through before you step on the platform.
