EP 73: The Gap We Can No Longer Ignore: Why Charity Isn’t Enough Anymore


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we confront a truth most believers feel but rarely say out loud: Traditional charity meets needs… but it doesn't transform lives.


Billions of dollars flow into missions and global poverty every year.

Yet poverty cycles remain unbroken.

Churches stay dependent on outside funding.

And local believers struggle without the tools, training, and opportunity they need to thrive.


This episode introduces the gap between relief and transformation—and reveals why the model we’ve inherited is not enough to disciple nations.


You’ll discover IBAM’s Three-Fish Model (Give • Teach • Equip) and hear real stories from Africa showing how biblical entrepreneurship is creating sustainable change, discipleship multiplication, and community-wide impact.
