Podcasting to fulfill the Great Commission with Pat Domangue
If the word “marketing” makes you cringe a little, you're in very good company.
So many Christian authors feel a tension between the call to write and the pressure to promote. It wasn't so long ago that author Pat Domangue felt that tension deeply too.
In this episode I'm sitting down with Pat, the author of the Bible Study My Maker and Me, and host of the podcast, HER (Healing & Encouragement for Real life). Pat gets honest about her long journey with marketing, including the moment she walked up to accept a first place award for online presence after years of almost completely resisting the whole idea.
We also talk about the burnout that so often comes with book launches, why your mission statement might be your best guardrail against chasing every shiny strategy, and how Pat eventually found her footing as both a podcast host and a guest.
