    After three and a half years apart, we reunite to reshoot all the core content for Fully Funded Academy—and we're asking the big question: does your support raising strategy need a facelift, an overhaul, or a funeral?

    This behind-the-scenes episode captures our two-day studio shoot and why putting your best foot forward matters. We share how they've grown in seven years, why excellence isn't perfectionism, and how to know when it's time to update your materials, freshen your approach, or let something go entirely.

    If your missionary budget isn't cutting it, or you're wondering how to create more financial margin without abandoning your ministry, this conversation is for you.

    Mike and Mary tackle one of the most under-discussed realities in missions: what it actually means to be bi-vocational in today's world. Spoiler: it doesn't mean splitting your day between ministry and working retail.
