5 silent giving breakdowns in your church


Hi Reader,

What holds you back from being more generous? Think about it...

You sense a nudge to support a cause other than your church.
You feel compelled to give to someone in need.
Or you just want to pick up the tab when you're out for dinner with friends.

...but then the moment passes.

You check your bank account. You remember the credit card bill. You hesitate. Not because you don’t care, but because life gets in the way, budgets get tight, and margin is thin.

Your heart says yes, but something keeps holding you back.

Been there?

Have you ever realized that's exactly what's happening across your entire congregation?

After 30 years in senior leadership, I've noticed something:

And just like you, they hit barriers—some external, some internal, and many that your church never intended to create.

5 silent giving-killers in your church

Individually, these 5 issues seem small. But together, they quietly erode momentum, making giving harder, generosity feel transactional, and leadership more stressful than it has to be.

And if this speaks to what you’ve been feeling (if you’ve sensed that your church is capable of more, but just needs a better way) then I’d love for you to check out Fund the Future, my online masterclass with Craig Groeschel, Chris Hodges, Dan Clark, and Ashley Wooldridge.

It’s a step-by-step framework built for leaders who want to stop guessing and start growing, and move from transactional giving to transformational generosity.

Cheering for you,

P.S. You don't have to change everything overnight. In fact, unlocking generosity often starts with fixing just one point of friction. This will help you spot one small barrier you can remove this week.
