EP 56: Impact Anxiety: The Cure for Charity Burnout


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth behind why so many faith-driven givers are walking away from traditional charities—not because they’ve lost heart, but because they’ve gained discernment.


Steve takes us behind the scenes of what happens when giving models create dependency instead of dignity—and how IBAM is flipping the script by discipling nations through business, not just charity.


You’ll hear powerful field stories and testimonies from entrepreneurs like Patience, Fegas, Joseph, Mapesho, and Josephat, whose lives and communities were transformed through biblical business training, micro-loans, and the Gospel.


This is the model Jesus used—multiplication, not maintenance.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is my giving actually making a difference?”

“Where can I invest that creates eternal fruit?”

“How do I avoid funding waste and start funding impact?”


…then this episode is for you.
