Does fundraising feel awkward, uncomfortable, or even a little icky? Do you find yourself dreading the “ask” and wishing you could just focus on the ministry work God has called you to?
In this episode, Lisa unpacks a powerful mindset shift that can free you from the pressure of fundraising and reframe how you see your donors. What if fundraising wasn’t about asking for money… but offering your donors an incredible gift?
You’ll learn:
- Why your fundraising may feel like begging or bragging
- How your message might unintentionally make donors feel like outsiders
- The simple shift that positions donors as the hero of your story
- Real-world examples that turn awkward asks into life-giving invitations
- One practical challenge you can try this week to reshape your messaging
Whether you’re raising support as a missionary, running a nonprofit, or leading a donor-funded ministry, this episode will help you invite donors in with clarity, confidence, and joy.
