We hope this message inspires and encourages you to build a platform that benefits both your ministry and your supporters.

*DISCLAIMER*

Using your gifts outside of the context of serving others is not what this episode is about. Using your spiritual gifts to elicit money from people is against the word of God. But using your gifts along with your natural talents and abilities is what this episode is about. I’m not advising anyone to go against the principles of the bible, just emphasising on the idea that our gifts can be used to serve a group of people as a paid service within reason. Please note and paid content you create should bring glory to God, anything outside of that is not.

Ministry Membership Tips: Offer your audience an opportunity to sow into your ministry.

Think about the way you can fund your Ministry through subscription-based membership. This can be through any platform like podcasting (Podbean), YouTube or blogging. Create exclusive content and share it with a group of people who will benefit from it.

Not everyone is going to value what you have to offer (Matthew 7:6), but the people you’re called to serve will. What you charge is between you and God!
