Greetings in Jesus name!

We’re excited about how our podcast continues to grow. For the first time, an episode has been downloaded more than 2,000 times! My conversation with Alan Hirsch on “How Church Multiply” has been listened to 2,598 times to date, to be exact.

We’ve received a great deal of thankful feedback that we tackled the tricky topic of money and ministry in our last podcast. Here is Part 2 of our conversation, “When Money Hurts Ministry.”

If you’ve ever thought, “If we just had more money, our ministry could really take off,” this episode is for you. I speak with movement practitioner and author Brett Butler about how funding can unintentionally weaken movements, why “more money” is rarely the real solution, and what it looks like to move toward truly self-sustaining ministry. We also explore biblical principles for handling money wisely and practical ways to discern when funding helps—and when it quietly harms.

If, after listening, you want to go deeper, you can do this on Brett’s website www.movementsandmoney.org, or check out his book To Whom Much Was Given in audio or print, offered at subsided prices.

Who in your network will benefit from this? Please forward or restack—it could inspire someone’s next step in multiplying leaders.

Warmly, Emanuel Prinz - Father’s beloved & movement activist
