What if the future of ministry requires a little more creativity?

In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by Calvin Brown, President of the Northeast Ohio Leadership Foundation, to discuss the concept of modern-day tentmaking and how churches and ministries can think differently about funding Kingdom work.

Drawing from Paul's example of supporting his ministry through tentmaking, Calvin shares how churches and nonprofits can utilize facilities, businesses, and other revenue-generating opportunities to create sustainable funding streams that support ministry without compromising mission.

The conversation explores what it looks like to use church and ministry assets creatively, why innovation is often difficult in established organizations, and how leaders can cultivate an environment where new ideas are welcomed rather than feared.

Brian, Lauren, and Calvin also discuss the importance of empowering leaders to think entrepreneurially, the challenges facing churches in today's culture, and why some of the most effective ministry opportunities may come from outside traditional models.

Whether you're a pastor, nonprofit leader, volunteer, or simply someone interested in the future of ministry, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about stewardship, leadership, and what it means to faithfully fund the work God has called us to do.
