<![CDATA[Faith Failures & Fundraising]]>Faith, Failures & Fundraising is the real-time journey of a first-time nonprofit founder building a God-led mission while living with terminal cancer. This podcast is rooted in the belief that when God calls you to build, He also sustains what He begins — even through uncertainty, weakness, and failure.

Each episode offers honest conversations about obedience, leadership, fundraising, governance, and legacy — not from a place of perfection, but from deep dependence on God. You’ll hear the mistakes, the miracles, the hard questions, and the faith required to keep moving when time feels fragile.

If you believe God still builds through ordinary people, and that purpose doesn’t disappear in suffering, this podcast will remind you that surrender can be stronger than strategy — and that what is built for Him will outlive us all.
