You need to know these 5 things before you start marketing.


Nope, you're not crazy. It's Wednesday, not Monday.

This is just a quick off-schedule email this afternoon to remind you of the free webinar I'm hosting tomorrow, February 6 at 4 pm ET: "5 Ways Jesus Used Marketing (That You Can Use to Grow Your Business or Ministry)."

Because you're already on my email list, you can RSVP just by clicking here (and yes, I'll send the replay to those who register!).

Plus, there's a fun bonus surprise on the confirmation page about how you can meet with me 1:1 for free. 👀

I'll be going live at 4 pm ET tomorrow to break down the 5 essential strategies every business or ministry needs to know to grow — using the same strategies Jesus and the apostles used to grow the early Church.

These five things are non-negotiable if you want any marketing to be effective...but most people skip over them because they don't know they're important and then marketing is WAY HARDER than it should be.

I could talk about this forever, because I am so passionate that we could truly change the lives of so many souls if we just knew how to reach them.

​This webinar is my free gift to you because it's literally all Jesus — and yes, He used marketing. He makes it holy and good.

And because of that, you can use it to reach the souls He's calling you to reach in an ethical, non-sleazy, yet still effective way.

​I'd love to see you tomorrow at 4 pm (or in the replay)!

For His greater glory,

Emily

P.S. I'm hosting a free webinar tomorrow, February 6 at 4 pm ET, 5 Ways Jesus Used Marketing (That You Can Use to Grow Your Business or Ministry), and it will be transformational, not just for your parish, but also for you in your approach to ministry. Register by clicking here.​

P.P.S. This isn't a sales pitch veiled as a webinar. At the end, I'll spend about 30 seconds sharing how I can help you further if you need more assistance — the rest is an hour of solid teaching. And if there's time at the end, I'll take questions too! Hope to see you there!

Opinion: I think trying to find catechists is more stressful for Faith Formation staff than sacrament season. Sacrament season certainly has its challenges, but there's also a joy and Holy Spirit electricity that keeps you going. Trying to avoid playing Tetris with your most popular class session that you still don't have a catechist for? Not as inspiring. If you're like most Faith Formation/PSR programs I've encountered, you struggle to find catechists to teach your classes. You put out...

"Wow, look at you on Instagram!" I got a message from a friend a few weeks ago. My reply? "To be honest - don't get used to it!" I'm basically exactly the kind of small business on Instagram that I used to tell people not to be. (Do what I say, not what I do.) At this point in my work, I pretty much only post on my Gloriam Instagram account when I'm leading up to or in the middle of a launch. Otherwise? Crickets. (Don't get me wrong - I still spend way too much time scrolling on Instagram....

It's August 23, 2026. The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time. It's a normal Sunday...but something seems different. As they're leaving Mass, a few people do a double take by the bulletin rack...and then look closer at the cover, grab one, and bring it home. A group of young adults are huddled together in the parking lot, pointing at something in the middle spread of the bulletin and saying, "Hey, that's you!" Two eager elementary school children are dragging their parents by the hand,...
