Does Your Faith Permeate Your Fundraising? By Wesley K. Willmer
In Growing Givers’ Hearts: Treating Fundraising as Ministry (Jossey-Bass), authors Tom Jeavons and Rebekah Basinger compare and contrast how a faith-based, ministry-focused model of raising resources is very different from a secular approach focused strictly on the bottom line.

Rule 22: Think of a River Not a Well By Douglas K. Shaw
There is no well to run dry; only a river will pass you by. You’ve heard it; I know certainly I have, more times than I can count. It usually pops out of somebody’s mouth when the topic of the appropriate number of times to mail fundraising appeals is on the table. It usually slips through…

How To Lead So People’s Brains Can Function By Dr. Henry Cloud
My client, CEO of a 20 billion dollar company, looked at me with one of those expressions that smart people sometimes get when something extra bright goes off in their heads, one of those thoughts that captures even their attention.

Thoughts on Authentic Leadership By Jennie Catron
Learning from a Life Well Lived Last year, I was honored to serve for a day with Missionaries of Charity, the organization Mother Teresa founded in Kolkata, India. While I expected that day to reconnect my heart with the privilege of serving the fallen and forgotten of our world, I was not prepared for the…
Authentically Reflecting Jesus By Phyllis Hendry Halverson
I don’t know about you, but my heart is racing to think about reflecting Jesus. And at this minute, I am running to the Father just as Jesus did. It’s the only way. We can’t do this on our own. Jesus modeled a connection to the Father perfectly. Scripture shares how Jesus connected to the…
