EP 62: Charity Fatigue Ends Here: A Better Way to Give

Episode notes

Have you ever given to a charity and later wondered if it made any difference? You’re not alone. Many believers today feel the weight of charity fatigue - longing for their generosity to create real, lasting impact instead of short-term relief. In this episode, we unpack IBAM’s Three-Fish Model: a faith-driven approach that shifts giving from temporary handouts to multiplying disciple-makers. Rooted in Colossians 3:23, this model shows how business is not separate from ministry - it is ministry. Through powerful stories from leaders like Elijah Avesa in Zambia and Fegas Kaumba in Africa, you’ll discover how small businesses are not just feeding families, but fueling discipleship, sustaining ministries like Awana, and transforming entire communities. If you’ve ever asked, “Does my giving really matter?” - this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and a new vision for generosity. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 1. Why traditional charity models often create dependency instead of transformation. 2. How the Three-Fish Model works: Give a Fish, Teach to Fish, Equip for Discipleship. 3.
