There are probably two errors we can fall into – believing that there is 100% commonality between secular marketing strategies and sharing the good news, and assuming that there is nothing we can learn or adapt from secular wisdom.

Claiming that it is not marketing is rather like calling an animal ‘No Name’. Of course, some church ‘marketing’ is scary. Check Chris Seay's 24-minute video The Irony of Church Marketing.
