There were 5 minutes left on the clock. I was thiiiiiiiiis close to finishing my final 8 am class of my first semester as an adjunct Biblical Studies professor. So I wrapped up by asking the students what they had been surprised about by what we had learned. Among nice answers of the impact Jesus had made on them, I only remember two of them: One student: "I was surprised how much circumcision came up." 😂 And another: "I think Jesus was just really good at marketing." Mic. Drop. Y'all, I promise, I didn't mention marketing ONCE in this entire class (I know, I'm shocked too). Turns out that the student was a business student and had recognized the same thing I had: Jesus marketed. Six years ago, I sat at our kitchen island and broke out my marketing textbooks and Biblical commentaries. Within five minutes, I discovered that one of my favorite "modern" marketing principles, Jesus had utilized 2,000 years earlier. Over the past six years, I've kept digging, finding over 30 marketing strategies with Biblical roots that make up Jesus' marketing, the perfect mix of Holy Spirit inspiration and human reason that exploded Christianity against all odds. And what's more, when you apply that strategy to our work today, like I have with the hundreds of Catholic businesses and ministries I've worked with... ...marketing takes less time, is more effective, and is easier and holier when we follow Jesus' plan. (Like all things, to be honest.) The problem is, if you don't have a marketing background, it's hard to recognize those strategies in the Gospels, let alone how to implement them. Until now. Introducing Market Like Jesus​, my new Catholic marketing course + community for Catholic businesses and ministries who want to grow by implementing Jesus' marketing plan! 🎉 This course + community + live experience is designed to help make your marketing take less time and make more money, while being easier and holier. Why? Because we're going to set up our marketing strategies exactly like Jesus'. He laid it all out in the Gospels for us. All we have to do is implement it — and I'm excited to help you do that.
​ Inside Market Like Jesus, you'll learn exactly how to market your small business or ministry like Jesus would... ...but in a Bible study-like setting. We're going to break open our Bibles, read the passages where Jesus uses these strategies, and then I'll teach you how to put them into practice in our businesses and ministries today. These aren't how to go viral tips and tricks. These are the essential and foundational strategy pieces that will help you grow, no matter how the algorithm is feeling that day. Here's what you'll find inside: 💙 12-Module Course + Workbook By the end of this course, you will feel CONFIDENT in your marketing. Because while you don't need a marketing degree to be a good marketer...you need more than what you can piece together from a one-hour webinar or podcast episode. Throughout the course, I'll walk with you step-by-step, teaching you all of the marketing principles you need to know that make all the content creation and selling and "How do I get more people to see my stuff?" so much easier. Then, you'll head to your workbook to set up your own unique Catholic marketing strategy week by week. 💙 Community Forum No more feeling lonely in this whole business + ministry world. Inside the community forum, you'll be able to connect with others in this space, get feedback as you develop your plan (because trust me, you're going to have moments of "Does this even make sense outside my brain?!"), and bounce things off of me and your fellow course takers. 📆 12-Week Live Experience No shame, but we've ALL bought courses or memberships that we never used. I'm too invested in your mission to NOT get your plan set in place though. So I'll be walking with you through this course live for 12 weeks to keep you accountable for actually doing it! You can get feedback from me through weekly threads in the forum + every other week live Q&A calls to answer your questions. But don't worry, you'll have access to everything for four months, so you can catch up later if you miss a week or two!
​ I am so passionate about getting the word out about the call God put on your heart, and this is my way of helping you do that. So if you've been feeling like you're doing all the things but nothing's working... You're doing okay but you feel really disorganized in your marketing and like you're "winging it"... Or you kind of hate marketing and how much time it takes but know it's a necessary evil to get the word out... ​​I created Market Like Jesus for you.​ We begin June 2. And I'd be honored if you'd pray about joining us. For His greater glory, Emily P.S. Want a marketing strategy that takes less time and is more effective, while being easier and holier? Come learn Jesus' own marketing strategy and how to implement it in your Catholic business or ministry in Market Like Jesus, my new course + community!​

"Oh no," I groaned under my breath. Due to a sorry miscalculation of yogurt containers in our house, our breakfast schedule had gotten all mixed up, and I realized we'd be having yogurt two mornings in a row for breakfast. The problem? My 3-year-old has suddenly decided he *hates* yogurt, after devouring multiple bowls of it for years. And I was not in the mood for Day Two of a toddler showdown before even the sun had woken up. Suddenly, I had an idea. We'd been reading Fancy Nancy the night...
I didn't start out thinking it would be a course. When I first sat down at our kitchen island six years ago with my Bible and a stack of marketing books, my research was just to satisfy my curiosity: Can we find Jesus using any marketing strategies in the Bible? And once I realized I had to share what I was finding, I just jotted down notes in a notebook, then eventually a Google doc starting in October 2022. (Three years later, that Google doc is almost 41 pages and counting.) My first...
It always sneaks up on you, doesn't it? You manage to survive sacrament season, wrap up the 15 end of the year BBQs, and switch over to summer hours when out of nowhere... BOOM! It's VBS time. And honestly? You're kind of tapped out on the whole promotion thing because that's all you've been doing all year long. Can't you just use the (cheesy) clip art the program gives you and call it a summer? But, VBS is a huge opportunity for not just the souls of those little ones attending (and the big...
