What if the most polite phrase in ministry fundraising is actually keeping people from giving?

“If you feel led.” “Anything helps.” “Give whatever God puts on your heart.”

Those phrases sound humble, but they often create uncertainty instead of confidence. In this episode, we’re talking about why vague fundraising asks leave potential donors stuck, what donor psychology says about clear requests, and how asking for a specific amount actually makes it easier for people to say yes.

👉 Work with me one-on-one to clarify your fundraising message, remove the guilt around asking, and create consistent donor communication that actually works.
