I agree with this. We are a small church, but we have an annual business meeting where we go through every budget item with the congregation. We are fully transported about where the money is going. We also hold Mission-based services 4 times a year. These are the services where we will ask for separate donations of money, goods and/time.
Coming here super late and I just wanted to share I just started as an online Pastor at a church that had this problem in a huge way. Over all we are fine financially, BUT the missions and building projects were so hyper focused that when people gave tithes and offerings they would often check the box that says "designate this money for missions" or write in for specific building projects. The way our church works is that we honor those requests. Anyway we ended up being 5 figures short on budget while we were 6 figures over for our needs for missions and building projects. Appreciate the reminders and content you put out, Brady. Thank you.
We had a lady in my church growing up who was an avid supporter of missions - UNTIL she found out the missionary used the funds to support his family. That made her angry and stop supporting missions. She though the missionary should get a job and work to support his family.
Do you have a weblink of a church with an intentional time of giving "Worship through giving" you could share? I'm looking for something different/more than the traditional users and plates. Thanks for all you do!
I actually think talking about where the money goes is a mistake all in itself. People give to God. And God loves a cheerful giver. We don’t have to give, we get to. Making it about what is done with the money after it is given is 100% the wrong motivation no matter how you do it. Making it about our relationship with Jesus and his purpose for our lives is the right way. Anything else cheapens it.
Brady. Love your stuff and our church is looking hard at the whole nucleus package. Our bookkeeper says the rebel give thing looks great for us, but passes the fees to the donors. Are we understanding that properly? Thanks for all you do. Your approach to things has helped us in a lot of ways. Do Good
Hey Harry, there are basically two levels of fees in this equation. First, there's the processing fee. This isn't charged by your giving company, it's charged by the processing conglomerates - and it's the same processing fee that is owed when you use your card at the convenience store. Any digital transaction has this. This is usually around 2%. The second is the rev-share fee. This is what is tacked on to the processing fee by the giving company. It's usually around 1%. And then, you, the church, are sold an "all-in-one" fee of around 3%. With Nucleus Giving, we've eliminated the rev-share, so we already have the lowest fees in the industry at 1.9% flat. Then, from there, we pass that fee on to the giver so the church never loses any gift due to fees. Understandably, some givers won't desire to pay this fee, which is why we prompt them to give via their bank account to avoid the percentage fee altogether (it costs just 25 cents to give a gift of any size with ACH, aka bank account giving). This process minimizes fees for everyone. While also educating both the church and the givers on the presence of fees when giving digitally I've written more on this on www.nucleus.church/giving if you need to share it with others. Just click the button that says, "Learn more about our pricing model." And then there's another button called "Find out how." Both of those buttons open full-page overlays that have long-form breakdowns of how this all works and the methodology behind it.
@@prochurchtools Thanks for the 411! Really helpful. Our admin team is giving Nucleus a thorough test drive right now. Our secretary just told me how easy and intuitive the website building is. Thanks for everything! Do Good
Why don't people volunteer and use most of the money to help the poor in the needy for evangelizing ministries missions and get a preacher preach for free and people that'll work that'll work for free in the church and have separate jobs away from the church instead of taking from the church
As soon as you started @2:34 👍 the original book of Acts church help each other in their church not to a charity. I could care less if Muslim places of worship get money and church people need to tith because it was mentioned in specific scripture. Yes talk about salary camera man etc, we are intelligent people with intelligent jobs we won't switch our brains off because you are giving £500 to the ministry. People work hard for money and there is a pandemic for crying outloud. My church is terrible at talking about money lol hope they get better at it

I gotta admit...I LOVE making these kinds of videos. The nuances of communication and how to build trust with our churches rather than manipulate. 👊

"avoiding the ickiness"...I love it when you use this kind of wonderfully appropriate theological terminology!
Sometimes my vocabulary fails me on things like this 😅

Nice! Any news in the pipeline for Nucleus Giving to come overseas? Request from Australia! We've already got our Nucleus site up and running.
I'm afraid nothing imminent, Josh. It's certainly on the roadmap though.
Such a good video!

Nailed it! So well communicated. Couldn't agree more!
Super insightful. Thank you!
I appreciate you, Brady!
Great video!
So you’re saying DON’T start with who’s got $100 faith? And call people up from there?
🤔 interesting….
Preach!
Please launch this tool in Europe :)

When do you need to sell because we can't support the current building?
I’m not sure I follow.
Thanks love it

Stop giving to the church. Give directly to the poor.
