For us, ministry fundraising is the overflow of a deep sense of purpose. In “It’s Not About the Money”, we look past formulas, and explore both the nuance and the big picture of the fundraising journey. It’s not about tips, tricks, or clever phrasing. It’s about being grounded. Each episode focuses on an aspect of real life as a support-seeker. We hold space for both practice and theory. Join us as we explore the truth that, while the funding is essential, it’s not about the money.

    26. Travis Cottrell on The Importance of Authenticity

    In our media and marketing-driven world, people -- as consumers -- can become quickly disenchanted. In fundraising, we want to strike a balance between being prepared and not "performing."  Travis Cottrell joins us in this episode and highlights the importance of authenticity in approaching others and inviting them into partnership.

    This year, Travis will celebrate a ministry milestone: 25 years of serving alongside Beth Moore as worship leader for Living Proof Ministries. Travis also currently serves as Worship Pastor at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN.
