Episode Details

When a major donor or key financial supporter leaves a church, it can feel personal, unsettling, and even threatening to the ministry’s stability. But pastoral leadership during this moment matters immensely. On this episode, Josh and Sam walk through the practical steps pastors should take when the church’s largest giver steps away. There is a 15% to 30% annual "churn rate" in just about every church. At some point, the biggest giver will be the one who exits.
