EP 55: From Handouts to Harvest: A New Model for Church Missions

Episode notes

If your church is faithfully preaching the Word and your people are faithfully giving… why does it still feel like your fundraising efforts are falling flat? In today’s episode, we’re tackling a bold but necessary question: Is your church’s fundraising model actually fueling discipleship - or just sustaining operations? You’ll discover why more and more donors are disengaging, why the next generation isn’t writing checks, and why your most missional families may be quietly shifting their generosity elsewhere. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ️ Why many churches are unknowingly using a maintenance model instead of a multiplication model ️ The #1 reason donors give up on church giving - and where they’re giving instead ️ What the Bible actually teaches about stewardship and mission ️ How $10/month can launch a missional entrepreneur with lasting impact ️ The real difference between charity, relief… and empowerment ️ How to align your church budget with the Great Commission 00:00 Podcast Kickoff 01:02 Fundraising Broken? 04:27 Why Giving Stalls 05:32 Shift Your Strategy 06:25 Kingdom Impact Stories 07:40 Take Action 09:10 Podcast Recap Learn more about the IBAM mission here -
