Live episode with David Siteman Garland
Hi Friends! This episode was such a fan favorite we decided to air it again! This originally aired on 5/20/21. (Episode 126) A former Muslim, Safeeya grew up believing Christians were misguided and Jews were to be hated. Even as a child she had a longing in her heart to know more and find her true identity. It wasn't until she received an invitation to church that she heard the gospel and The Holy Scripture for the first time. She was given a Bible and the rest, shall we say, is "His story." The Holy Spirit was at work, as Safeeya pursued the yearning in her heart to know the one true God. Safeeya met Jesus Christ and her life has never been the same. Safeeya's story is convicting on so many levels. For us, it was the power of an invitation. We spend so much of our time going to church that we forget to invite someone. Anyone. Every week. This could change the world. Just an invitation. So listen in and be encouraged that our world is full of men and women longing for something more. That something more is Jesus.

When Fred Rogers was a boy (stay with us here) and he would see scary things on the news, his mother would tell him, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Fret not, dear ones: Mr. Rogers’ mother is still right. For this episode in our For the Love of Giving series, we’re thrilled to bring you two people who are helping the helpers and fueling their dreams to change the world. Our first guest, Mike Rusch, is the CEO of Pure Charity, a nonprofit that provides software and strategy for more than a thousand organizations worldwide, including Bob Goff’s Love Does, Habitat for Humanity, Help One Now, and our own Legacy Collective. Mike tells us how Pure Charity puts the structure behind nonprofits’ missions to make a difference, why giving circles are impactful, and key advice for those who are looking to start their own nonprofit. We’re also thrilled to have Legacy Collective partner Faitth Brooks on the show! Jen and Faith talk about the unique way Legacy partners with people around the world, some of the life-giving projects Legacy has helped fund, and how you can get involved.

Jesse Lane of Pure Charity joins this session to explore ways nonprofits can be more innovative and how to create an environment that fosters creativity. He shares how at an organization he was a part of, they would set aside four hours every week just to brainstorm new ideas or work on implementing ones already in the pipeline. It created an environment for innovative ideas to be brought to the table in a new way and people were excited to share their suggestions. He and Beth explore why failure isn't always bad, how to get your donors involved in organizational changes, and much more.
