46. Dependence Isn’t a Deficit: A Fresh Look at Fundraising with Dr. Jacob Chacko (Soundtracks)

It's Not About the Money: In Search of Grounded Fundraising

"Our support raising isn’t asking for a favor — it’s an invitation to join in Kingdom work."

“Greed isn’t about how much money you have — it’s about what you expect money to give you.”

What does it really mean to live with an abundance mindset in a culture of scarcity and self-sufficiency? In this episode of It’s Not About the Money, we’re joined by Dr. Jacob Chacko — a cardiologist, bivocational pastor, and thoughtful teacher — to talk about the spiritual heart of fundraising.

Together we explore:

• The subtle forms greed can take — even in ministry
• Why dependence isn't weakness, but a biblical invitation
• How abundance isn’t about more stuff — it’s about deeper trust
• Practical ways to reframe financial anxiety and scarcity thinking

Whether you're deep into support-raising or simply wrestling with how to steward your money faithfully, this conversation will stir your heart and reorient your perspective.

🎧 Plus: a beautiful blessing from Walter Brueggemann to close out the episode.
