Excited to share that I was featured on the Church Solutions Podcast (StreamingChurch.tv - Broadcast Your Services Live) hosted by Phil Thompson and Steve Lacy!

Episode title: How to Lead Your Church without Being Stuck at Your Desk

We discussed real strategies for pastors like me (design agency owner + senior pastor), and I shared how The Pastor's Desk was born out of my own need for better tools: drag-and-drop pastoral care boards, lectionary sermon planning, directories, reports, and more (all to free up time for real ministry).

Massive thanks to Phil & Steve for hosting such a helpful, practical conversation!

Grateful for this cool moment... featured on FOX 17 Morning Mix talking about The Pastor's Desk, but it got me thinking about how everything ties back to helping churches connect in a digital world that's changed so much.

From my early days building sites like minaz.org to now offering "pay what you can" custom designs at The Best Church Websites, it's all about making online presence feel like an extension of your church's heart... warm, welcoming, and easy to manage.

The interview touched on how tools like this (and great websites) free up leaders for what matters.

If your church site's ready for a refresh, let's chat. No pressure, just real help.

A new ministry software, "The Pastor's Desk", helps churches of all sizes ensure that there is a one-stop shop for pastoral needs.

Feeling so grateful today!

PreachWeb.org just ran a great piece on organizational tips for pastors and they featured The Pastor's Desk (the tool I built out of my own desperation as a lead pastor).

But honestly, it's a perfect reminder of what we're all about over here at The Best Church Websites too, helping pastors and churches cut the clutter (digital and otherwise) so you can focus on people, not paperwork or outdated websites.

If your church site feels stuck in 2020 (or older) or you're just ready for something that actually reflects the life of your ministry, let's talk.

Pay-what-you-can pricing because ministry shouldn't be expensive.

Love supporting pastors any way I can. Whether it's a new site or getting your admin life together. Who's ready to breathe easier?

We hear about a new software on the market, The Pastors Desk fills in the gaps and helps pastors (church leaders) be more present in their role and spend less time of the ‘paperwork’ while still recording the important stuff.

After 10 years of building websites through all the ups and downs (starting local in my small town and scaling to clients across the US) I'm thrilled to be recognized as a certified Wix Partner and Web Design Expert.

My journey began with Wix back when it was just a flash builder, I dipped into WordPress (which wasn't my jam with all the maintenance hassle), and circled back to Wix about 5 years ago. Wix has been a game-changer, helping me grow my agency and deliver awesome sites for amazing clients. Reaching expert level took a lot of time and hustle, but this plaque and killer jean jacket from Wix? As silly as it may seem to some, is a total validation of all the hard work!

Proud to rock this gear and keep creating standout websites. If you're ready to take your business to the next level, hit me up at www.jpixel.net. Grateful for the ride!

✨ It’s finally here! The Pastor’s Desk is LIVE! ✨

Friends, as many of you know, I’m not just a developer and entrepreneur but I’m a FULL-TIME PASTOR. And for years I’ve felt the weight of pastoral ministry: sermons, care visits, planning, and yes… those monthly board reports that always seem to eat up much of my time.

That’s why I built something I wish I had years ago. It’s called "The Pastor’s Desk", and it’s officially live today.

With The Pastor’s Desk you can:
✅ Keep your pastoral notes and care organized
✅ Track events and ministry goals in one place
✅ Generate your monthly board report in 90 seconds
✅ 2-way-Sync your Gmail and Microsoft emails

No more scattered sticky notes and lost reminders. Just a simple, pastor-built tool to help pastors focus more on people than on administration and paper work.

👉 Try it FREE for 7 days (credit card required, cancel anytime):

https://www.atthepastorsdesk.com

For me this is more than just software. For me this is ministry! It is a way to serve pastors like you and me so we can serve our people better.

If you’re a pastor, give it a try. If you know a pastor, please share this with them.

- Justin
