203: Money & Mission: Why Revenue Doesn’t Save the Church | Church Finance Series (Part 1)

This episode reframes the entire money conversation by separating the Church from the nonprofit structure that houses it. 

We name the fear, pressure, and assumptions that swirl around finances - and then clarify why revenue impacts the organization, not the mission. 

When we stop confusing the two, financial decisions get calmer, clearer, and more grounded.

You’ll learn:

1. The difference between the Church and the 501(c)(3) that supports it
2. Why money isn’t needed to save your church (but it might save your building)
3. How identifying fear and spiritual pressure around finances is a starting point for clarity
4. The real cost of trying to raise money to keep the lights on - and how a shift can save your church culture
