The Fundraising Masterminds Podcast

In this episode of the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast, we're debunking the myth of the Muller Mentality and looking at what George Muller actually believed about faith and fundraising.Join us for a deep dive into the life of Muller and his fundraising strategies. We will be tackling the topic from the perspective of his own autobiography: The Life of Trust: Being a Narrative of the Lord’s Dealings with George Muller. We will discuss what the nonprofit legend didn't do, what he actually did, and what we should really take away from his legacy.Discover what Muller's actual life looked like, and how lessons from his fundraising have been distorted over time. Learn what he really believed about asking for money. Uncover if he really did "just pray" — or if there was something else that helped bring in the dollars. And ultimately, find out how George Muller raised $150,000,000 of today's currency — without explicitly asking for a penny.So whether you're a staunch supporter of Muller's anti-appeal approach, or just curious if he was really opposed to fundraising, this episode will give you the confidence you need to blend faith, prayer, and invitation into a balanced development strategy that takes intentional action while fully trusting God.Subscribe to our channel for more nonprofit mindset training!ASK US A QUESTION:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/fundraisingmasterminds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEED HELP WITH YOUR NONPROFIT?Most nonprofits are under-funded.
