Intervention Part 5 | An Integrated Process

How can we take everything we’ve learned about evaluating interventions and put it into practice in our giving?

In this episode, we wrap up our intervention series and walk through a practical process for assessing organizations and programs in your giving. We focus on taking the core, confirmatory, and compatibility criteria and applying them in a simple, actionable way—helping you feel confident in where and how you engage.

In this episode, we explore:

• Clarifying focus areas to understand the specific problems we want to address.

• Assessing our growth stage in understanding and engaging with a chosen focus area.

• Creating a list of organizations and applying the core criteria: theory of change, measured impact, and accountability.

• Using confirmatory criteria like gospel integration, collaboration, and innovation to strengthen our evaluation.

• Evaluating compatibility through spiritual discernment, personal engagement, and personal connection to ensure alignment with our unique gifts and relationships.

We invite you to take one organization—perhaps one you already support—and walk through this process. As we move from understanding to intentional engagement, we grow not just as givers, but as partners in meaningful change in the world.
