Finding Other Ways With John Stange of Dwell On These Things Podcast

Dec 20, 2021 • E92 • 00:18:07

Have you struggled to pay yourself a salary as a non-profit?

As a non-profit, you get so focused on helping the cause you are concentrated on that your needs become the least of your problems. Add on top of that any guilt you might feel paying yourself through the organization.

Our guest today, John Stange, was in a similar boat with the church and was close to having to close up his church. Until he found a path in podcasting that helped him generate revenue and remove the pressure of having a salary come from the church, it let the church focus on immediate payables and get through any hard times it was going through.

The story today will inspire, make you think differently, and open up some news doors you might not have considered.
