On this episode, we’re bringing together a dynamic conversation at the crossroads of ministry, architecture, and strategy. Hosted by Trent Dunham, this episode features three incredible guests who offer unique perspectives on designing and funding spaces to better serve communities and ministries. Erik Rogers, Chief Strategist for Donor Advancement at Dunham+Company, kicks off with insight into how ministries can elevate relationships with donors to fund transformational projects. Joining the discussion are Nick Cooper and Mark Ashcraft from Parkhill, an architectural and engineering firm that specializes in faith-based projects. Together, they explore not just the "what" of creating spaces, but the "why"—ensuring alignment with vision and purpose.

What processes bring dreams to reality without losing sight of efficiency or stewardship?
