Hi Reader,
Your church probably has a great service. Visitors leave saying the music was good and the preaching was solid. But some of those same people never come back, and you and your team are left wondering why. 🤷
Will Guidara built Eleven Madison Park into the number one restaurant in the world, and he spent years studying the real reason people feel what they feel when they walk through a door.
The difference between a church people return to and one they quietly stop attending often has nothing to do with the sermon.
In today’s podcast episode, Will explains what AI is actually going to do for hospitality (his answer is different from what you’d expect), how to recover well when you lose someone’s trust, and why every senior leader needs to experience their own church the way a first-time guest does.
What if even 20% of the people who don’t return started coming back through your doors?
