Are you frustrated by fundraising? Feeling stuck, under-supported, or embarrassed about the whole process?

In this episode, Dr. Steve Shadrach, author of The God Ask and one of the leading voices in personal support raising, helps reframe fundraising not just as a financial task but as a deeply spiritual journey. With decades of experience mentoring and training missionaries, Steve shares the fears that keep us from asking, the beliefs about God that shape our support journey, and why staying fully funded is one of the greatest ways to sustain your calling long term.

Whether you’re just getting started, stuck in the middle, or needing to re-engage supporters after time on the field, this episode will challenge and encourage you to take bold, faith-filled action.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How fundraising can actually be a spiritual battle (and why it feels so hard sometimes)
• What “The God Ask” really means and how it can shift the way you approach support raising
• Why your view of God matters way more than you think when it comes to asking and receiving
• The simple prep most missionaries skip that makes support meetings go way better
• What it really takes to stay fully funded long term and why it’s worth it
