You believe deeply in your ministry—so why does asking someone to financially support it suddenly make you feel guilty, embarrassed, or even ashamed?

If fundraising leaves you dreading donor conversations, questioning what people will think of you, or sounding scripted the second money comes up, there may be something deeper underneath that discomfort. In this episode, we’re digging into the guilt, shame, and dread surrounding ministry fundraising—and I’ll give you one simple exercise to uncover what you may actually believe about asking for support.

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