Do you wish fundraising was easier? Do you wish you didn’t have to worry so much about the money? Feeling the awkwardness, the icky-shame feeling of asking for money? Putting so much effort in but still getting “nos” or worse… ghosting?


I’m excited you’re here!! This is the place for you to learn how to fundraise easier, get rid of the shame and awkwardness of asking for money, and finally start growing supporters for your ministry that stay for the long haul!


Hi, I’m Lisa. I love Jesus, have been in ministry since I was born (missionary kid here) and I love being a part of what God is doing in people’s lives!


I’ve worked with and in ministries that struggle to truly connect with supporters. I’ve seen the stigma around raising support, the scramble across platforms and videos to “keep up,” and the relentless trial-and-error that never quite clicks—often ending in burnout.


But then I saw first hand the power of story and was BLOWN AWAY at how quickly it engaged donors and encouraged them to donate- the first time I used the power of story in our messaging, we raised so much support, the team wasn’t even prepared for it! This had never happened before!

And I want the same for your ministry!!


If you’re ready to finally raise the support you need—without the constant stress or worry…

If you want to grow your base of supporters and keep them with you for the long haul…

If you’re looking for a simple strategy you can use again and again—one that replaces burnout with confidence…

And if you’re ready to drop the awkward, icky, or shameful feelings around asking for money…

Then this podcast is for you.

Grab your coffee, your calling, and maybe a snack—let’s do this.

  • 19 | Is Marriage Restoration Possible After 8 Years? A Christian Testimony w/ Uliana Komodi
    2025/10/16

    If you’ve prayed for years for your marriage and nothing seems to change, what do you do?

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Uliana Komodi, who shares her raw, faith-filled story of waiting, heartbreak, and perseverance — trusting God for marriage restoration for 8 long years.


    Uliana opens up about the pain of watching her husband walk away, the moment she told God she was done, and how the Lord gently drew her back to faith, hope, and forgiveness. Through years of surrender and prayer, God brought healing.


    If you’re walking through a season of waiting, disappointment, or a relationship that feels impossible to fix, this testimony will strengthen your faith and remind you that no story is too broken for God to redeem.


    In this episode:


    • The breaking point that changed everything
    • What it looks like to wait on God without losing hope
    • How to pray when your faith feels gone
    • What true surrender and forgiveness look like in marriage restoration
    • Encouragement for women in ministry walking through hard seasons
