Listen "Episode 23: From Ashes to Beauty"
Episode Synopsis
This week’s episode is something different — and deeply personal.
In this talk, originally given to my local covenant community, I share how my recent accident became a moment of interruption that God transformed into an invitation: to deeper dependence, to gratitude, and to the gift of community.
While this isn’t a fundraising strategy session, the lessons here apply directly to the work of nonprofit and ministry leaders. Just as I needed others to carry me through weakness, our missions cannot thrive without the strength of community and the humility to depend on others.
Listen in as I reflect on:
The reality of suffering and interruptions in life and ministry.
How dependence is not weakness, but a gift.
Why true community sustains us in life, faith, and mission.
What this means for fundraising and building donor relationships.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying your mission alone, this episode is for you.
