This week we talk with Mike Ward, CFRE about the first steps your congregation or non-profit should take in these times to ensure a stable 2020. You will hear Mike and Mitzie share with you about:
- What’s different in this moment?
- What’s the theological grounding for shifting our financial conversations and practices?
- What are the three immediate next steps your congregation or non-profit should take?

The camps of NovusWay are places where your congregation gathers to strengthen the community. In this time of physical distancing, we want to bring that same spirit of reflection and growth to you through this podcast. We look forward to the time when we can gather again.
