À propos de cet audio

Do you wish fundraising was easier? Do you wish you didn’t have to worry so much about the money? Feeling the awkwardness, the icky-shame feeling of asking for money? Putting so much effort in but still getting “nos” or worse… ghosting?


I’m excited you’re here!! This is the place for you to learn how to fundraise easier, get rid of the shame and awkwardness of asking for money, and finally start growing supporters for your ministry that stay for the long haul!


Hi, I’m Lisa. I love Jesus, have been in ministry since I was born (missionary kid here) and I love being a part of what God is doing in people’s lives!


I’ve worked with and in ministries that struggle to truly connect with supporters. I’ve seen the stigma around raising support, the scramble across platforms and videos to “keep up,” and the relentless trial-and-error that never quite clicks—often ending in burnout.


But then I saw first hand the power of story and was BLOWN AWAY at how quickly it engaged donors and encouraged them to donate- the first time I used the power of story in our messaging, we raised so much support, the team wasn’t even prepared for it! This had never happened before!

And I want the same for your ministry!!


If you’re ready to finally raise the support you need—without the constant stress or worry…

If you want to grow your base of supporters and keep them with you for the long haul…

If you’re looking for a simple strategy you can use again and again—one that replaces burnout with confidence…

And if you’re ready to drop the awkward, icky, or shameful feelings around asking for money…

Then this podcast is for you.

Grab your coffee, your calling, and maybe a snack—let’s do this.

    29 | Why Pastors Aren’t Engaging—And How to Reach the Ministry Donors Who Will
    Nov 20 2025

    Have you been discouraged, ignored, or brushed off while trying to raise support—especially by pastors or church leaders?

    Maybe you’ve reached out for meetings, sent messages, shared your heart, and still… nothing.

    Or worse, they take the meeting, but they don’t take you seriously.


    And if you’re a woman leader, it can feel even more painful.

    You may wonder:

    “Do they respect my calling?”

    “Would they listen if I were a man?”

    “Is anyone ever going to give me a chance?”


    In this episode, we unpack why this happens—and what you can actually do about it. You’ll learn the three steps that bring clarity, confidence, and peace when fundraising feels like a dead end.


    What You’ll Learn


    • Why some people simply will not respond to your message—and why it’s not your fault.
    • How to tailor your messaging so the right people finally pay attention.
    • When to stop striving and release the outcome to God with confidence.

  • 28 | Donor Engagement Down? Use Storytelling to Rebuild Ministry Support

    28 | Donor Engagement Down? Use Storytelling to Rebuild Ministry Support
    Nov 17 2025

    If you’re ending the year feeling discouraged, burned out, or wondering why your ministry isn’t further along… this episode is for you.

    Maybe you expected more donors… more financial stability… more momentum.

    Maybe you’ve tried everything—posting consistently, sharing stats, updating your messaging, sharing all the incredible things your ministry does—and yet nothing seems to stick.


    If you’re tired of doing “all the things” and seeing little response, this episode will encourage you, give you clarity, and help you focus on what actually moves donors to action.



    What You’ll Learn


    • Why your messaging may not be working even when your ministry is doing amazing things.
    • How one story can move donors faster than stats, announcements, or platforms ever will.
    • The one mindset shift that helps you stop striving and start communicating with clarity.

  • 27 | How Storytelling Transformed an Unfocused Vision into a Ministry Movement w/ Karen Prevost

    27 | How Storytelling Transformed an Unfocused Vision into a Ministry Movement w/ Karen Prevost
    Nov 13 2025

    What happens when your ministry has a powerful vision—but no clear direction?

    In today’s episode, I sit down with my mom, a missionary to Spain for over 40 years, to talk about how their team had a God-given dream to share the gospel in every province of Spain—but no real plan for how to do it.


    After countless hours of footage, and no cohesive story, everything shifted when they discovered the power of story structure. What started as an unfocused idea grew into a nationwide storytelling movement that produced 52 short films—now shared around the world in nine languages.


    You’ll hear how storytelling brought clarity, creativity, and direction to their ministry vision, and how God continues to use these testimonies to reach hearts across nations.



    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:


    • Why a clear story structure can turn confusion into clarity for your ministry vision.
    • How testimonies connect with people more powerfully than facts or information.
    • The spiritual and practical impact of telling real stories with intentionality.
