Overflow

Are you leaving money on the table? If you’re only accepting cash donations at your church, this could be the case.

Did you know that 90% of wealth is actually in NON-cash assets? When cash is the only giving option, you’re putting a lid on generosity.

Overflow is here to lift that lid, and unlock more ways to give. Overflow is an online software that empowers donors to easily give non-cash assets (such as stock) to churches in minutes, not months.

Why is this important? Well, the average cash donation in the U.S. is just $128, but the average stock donation through Overflow is over $10,000.

The days of giving the church the ‘leftovers’ are behind us. It’s time to empower your donors to give from their “overflow.”

Let’s unlock more giving channels for the Kingdom together. Go to overflow.co/carey to learn how.

Leadr

Today’s podcast is all about leading well. What if we carried this mindset into our workplace as well?

My friends at Leadr believe that employee engagement and workplace satisfaction is driven by each person’s relationship with their manager and whether or not they are being consistently cared for and developed.

This also applies to remote and hybrid teams.

That’s why they’ve created the first-ever People Development Software to help you implement healthy leadership habits from 1:1 meetings, to two-way feedback, to goal-setting and more for a more engaged and healthy team.

Lead With Confidence and Clarity. Grow Your Church.

As leaders, we tend to see the challenges and roadblocks before other people do.

We've all been there before...

You need to refresh your vision for the future but know that change will be an issue for that person.
You're overstaffed (or missing a key role) and can't find the right person to fill the role.
You aren't reaching enough new people even though you've tried everything that's working for other churches.
You can see the issue but aren't confident in what to do about it.

And with another Sunday morning coming up, it'll just have to wait until next week when you have a few minutes to figure it out.

Now ask yourself this:

What would it feel like to have those answers at your fingertips 24/7?

Whether it's reaching new people, improving your preaching, increasing volunteers, refreshing your vision, engaging your staff, or any of the countless challenges we face as church leaders, The Art of Leadership Academy will equip you to lead your church with confidence and clarity.

Between comprehensive church leadership courses, live coaching calls, staff and volunteer training resources, and direct access to a private online community of senior-level church leaders, you'll get the exact insights and answers that fuel your church for growth.
