A Course That Teaches You What Nobody Trained You For.
Lower anxiety. Increase capacity. Create sustainability.
THE FUNDING MULTIPLICATION COURSE
You obeyed because you believed something β about Jesus, about people, about the Gospel, and about what the church could be in a community that needed it.
GET THE COURSEYOU CanΒ Raise Multiplication Funds!
You didn't get into ministry to talk about money.
You got in because you believed something β about Jesus, about people, about the gospel, about what the church could be in a community that needed it.
And for a while, that belief was enough. It carried the early conversations, the late nights, the slow and uncertain work of building something from almost nothing.
But at some point, belief bumped into budget.
And nobody had prepared you for that collision.
Maybe you're standing at the beginning β a church plant coming together, a vision that's real and specific and yours β and the question that keeps waking you up at 3am isn't theological. It's financial. Where is the money coming from? How do I ask for what I actually need without feeling like I'm begging? And what happens if I can't raise it?
Or maybe you've been pastoring for a decade and the giving culture you've built has carried you this far β but you know that what got you here won't fund what comes next. Multiplication requires a level of generosity your congregation hasn't been invited into yet. And that invitation feels like the one conversation that could go wrong and take trust you've spent years building with it.
Two different seasons. Two different fears. One underlying reality:
The most consistent obstacle to multiplication isn't a lack of willing people. It's a lack of leaders who know how to invite generosity with clarity, conviction, and integrity.
This course was built to close that gap.
Yes, It Really Is Possible!
ENROLL NOWΒ THE DEEPER PROBLEM
Here's what makes this particular gap so frustrating.
It's not that you haven't tried. You've preached generosity. You've run campaigns. You've made appeals that you genuinely believed in. And sometimes they worked. But the results have been inconsistent β and you've never been quite sure whether that's because your congregation isn't generous enough, or because you're not asking in a way that actually moves people.
The answer, almost always, is the second one.
And that's not an indictment. It's just the truth about a skill that was never taught.
Seminaries train pastors to preach, counsel, lead, and shepherd. They don't teach pastors how to build a generosity culture from scratch. How to make a direct, specific ask without flinching. How to sit across from a high-capacity donor without either pressuring them or underasking out of anxiety. How to design a funding campaign that builds trust instead of draining it.
Those skills have to be learned somewhere.
This is where you learn them.
INTRODUCING
Funding Multiplication
What's possible?
Imagine leading your next funding conversation from a completely different posture.
Not hoping people respond. Not apologizing for the ask before you make it. Not waiting until there's a deficit to talk about generosity.
Instead: knowing exactly what you're asking and why. Knowing how to connect the ask to a story that makes people want to participate. Knowing which donors to approach directly, how to have that conversation, and what to do when the answer is no.
Knowing, at a foundational level, that talking about money isn't a distraction from ministry.
That's not a reframe for people who are comfortable already. That's a genuine shift β one that changes how you lead every campaign, every appeal, every generosity Sunday for the rest of your ministry.
This course builds that shift. Deliberately. In sequence. From the inside out.

What's Included in The Course?
MODULE 1
MINDSETS
6+ modules β Because most funding problems aren't money problems.
Before tactics. Before campaigns. Before any conversation with a donor.
You have to deal with what you actually believe.
About money. About asking. About whether talking about generosity makes you the kind of pastor you swore you'd never become.
Most funding strategies fail not because they were poorly executed β but because the leader executing them was carrying unexamined beliefs that quietly undermined everything.
This module surfaces those beliefs. Challenges the ones that are costing you. And replaces them with a theological and pastoral foundation that makes every conversation after it feel different.
What you'll work through:
- Why discomfort around money doesn't mean you lack faith β and what it actually means
- The mindset that sounds like humility but is quietly stalling more multiplication projects than any funding gap ever could
- Why "if God wants it funded, He'll do it without me asking" is not surrender β it's avoidance
- How to lead funding conversations from conviction instead of anxiety
- The belief shift that separates pastors who build generous cultures from those who merely hope for them
- And the mindset almost nobody teaches β what to do when you're not starting from zero, but from damage
MODULE 2
PRINCIPLES
12+ modules β The convictions that make everything else work.
Not tactics. Foundations.
The principles that determine whether your appeals build trust or erode it. Whether your donors become owners or just funders. Whether your generosity culture grows deeper over time or plateaus the moment pressure disappears.
What you'll build:
- A clear understanding of why you have a funding problem only if you have a story problem β and how to fix the story first
- The difference between raising money and raising trust β and why only one of them compounds over time
- How to talk about money without flinching β from the platform, in personal conversations, and in the quiet moments when the ask feels hardest
- Why clarity beats passion in every funding conversation, and what clarity actually requires
- How to make a direct, specific ask β including the one-on-one donor conversation framework most pastors have never been taught
- The principle that turns donors into owners β and why ownership is what actually builds a church
- How to build a generosity culture that forms people as disciples, not just supporters
MODULE 3
IDEAS
23 tools β Organized so you know exactly which ones belong in your next 90 days.
This is the largest module in the course. And the most practical.
Twenty-three tools, organized into three lanes. Not everything will fit your season. You'll leave knowing exactly which ones do β and with a simple framework for sorting the rest.
Three Lanes
LANE 1: REDUCE ANXIETY
For when unpredictable giving is making it impossible to lead from peace
Recurring Giving β why automated generosity is the single highest-leverage change most churches can make, and exactly how to build it
Move Your End-of-Year Giving Earlier β the calendar shift that turns December from a sprint into a gift
Six Generosity Sundays β how to build an annual rhythm that normalizes generosity instead of ambushing people with it
Advance Giving β the ask most pastors never make, and why it works more often than you'd expect
The Stewardship Loop β what happens after the gift: the 48-hour thank-you, the newsletter that builds trust between asks, and the annual report that prepares people to give forward
LANE 2: INCREASE CAPACITY
For when you need more givers, more engagement, more funding from relationships you haven't fully developed
High-Capacity Givers Without Manipulation β how to approach your most resource-rich donors in a way that builds ownership instead of awkwardness
Mission Boards as Funders β why other churches' missions boards may be one of your most underused funding sources
Grants and Government Assistance β the funding that's already available for the work you're already doing
Church Partnerships β when the most faithful move is letting someone else carry part of the load
Peer-to-Peer Fundraising β mobilizing your congregation's networks in ways that reach far beyond your own
Staff Fundraising β how to invite your team into the funding culture without coercion or confusion
Visuals That Work (And Visuals That Hurt) β the sandwich board story, the clothesline, and the principle that makes both work
Making Giving an Experience β why efficiency helps budgets, but experience forms disciples
Removing Friction at the Point of Giving β because delayed giving is almost always forgotten giving
Seasonal Increase Asks β the simple, direct invitation most leaders never make
LANE 3: CREATE SUSTAINABILITY
For when you want to still be doing this joyfully in ten years
The Financial Action Team β how to stop carrying the funding weight alone and build a team that multiplies your capacity
Alternative Revenue Streams β what's actually working in church contexts right now, and how to evaluate what fits yours
Smart Cost Options and Bi-Vocational Models β sometimes the fastest path forward is spending less, not asking more
Selling Assets and Remortgaging β with extreme caution: the questions that determine whether this is faith or desperation
Helping Your People Manage Money β why financial margin is a discipleship issue, and how to build it
What to Do When Giving Drops β the framework nobody teaches, for the crisis every leader eventually faces
YES, I WANT IN!NICE TO MEET YOU!
I'mΒ Jim
I've been working in church multiplication for a long time. I'll be your host for this learning adventure!Β
By the time you finish this course, you will have:
A completely different relationship with funding conversations. Not just a few new tactics β a fundamental shift in how you think about generosity, what you believe about your role in building it, and what you're no longer willing to let anxiety decide for you.
A practical vocabulary for every funding situation you'll face. From the Sunday morning appeal to the one-on-one donor meeting to the campaign that needs to close in thirty days β you'll know what to say and how to say it.
A clear 90-day plan. Built from the four-column exercise at the end of the Ideas module. Not a to-do list. A prioritized, realistic, season-specific plan for the three or four things that belong in your immediate future.
A framework for the hard moments. Including what to do when giving drops suddenly, how to have a direct conversation with a high-capacity donor without it getting weird, and how to lead through a funding crisis without letting it become a trust crisis.
Permission. To talk about money with conviction. To make the ask clearly and specifically. To lead the funding side of multiplication with the same pastoral integrity you bring to everything else.

Funding Multiplication Course
LET'S GO!
The church that gets planted next year is being funded right now!
Not by a perfect campaign. Not by the right donor saying yes at the right moment. By a leader who decided that funding the mission was part of the mission β and learned how to do it well.
That leader could be you!
