Synopsis: In this episode, Jenni & Russell introduce the heart behind the series: creating space for intentional spiritual growth over ten weeks. They share who they are, why this matters, and how this first week invites you into one hour of quiet, prayer, and reflection—no pressure, just presence.

Discussion/Reflection Questions:

  • How are you feeling/thinking about entering a season of more deliberate MTD?
  • What do you use for your MTD "third space"?
    • If you don't have one, where could you create one?
  • What's you "go-to" spiritual discipline? How can you incorporate it into this MTD journey?
  • What are some goals you have for this 10 week run?
  • The Hot Take Corner Question: Is Fundraising still Biblical?

Synopsis: In this episode, Jenni & Russell tackle the overwhelming question: “Okay, so now what?” They offer solutions for the moments you need to connect with people but feel stuck. You'll walk through practical steps for generating names, building your network, and reaching out even when it feels intimidating or awkward, with the ultimate goal of setting up meaningful conversations.

Discussion/Reflection Questions:

  • How do you feel about namestorming? Does it seem possible in this season?
  • Who are some people you know that you've never invited to your team? How would you initiate with them?
  • Do you skip the names ask? 
    • If yes, why? If no, why?
  • What are the best ways to reach out to someone that doesn’t know you at all?
  • The Hot Take Corner Question: Do I still need to make actual phone calls? Come on people!

Synopsis: In this episode, Jenni & Russell talk rhythm. They unpack what’s working, what’s not, and how to realistically build outreach into your daily life without forcing a one-size-fits-all schedule. Jenni shares a practical time-blocking template, you’ll explore the rhythm of connecting with others, and Russ drops a hot take on why rigid call blocks might not be the answer.

  • How have the first 2 weeks of intentional fundraising been going for you?
  • What does your weekly rhythm look like 2 weeks in?
  • What are some adjustments you'd like to make for the next 8 weeks?
  • The Hot Take Corner Question: I don’t need a scheduled call night, I’ll do it when it’s most natural in the flow! Right! Right?

Synopsis: In this episode Jenni & Russell dive into the emotional highs and lows that come with real growth. What does success actually look like beyond just making progress? Jenni poses some big questions to help you reflect: What have you learned so far? What’s holding you back? And what do we do with the hard stuff that inevitably comes up?

Discussion/Reflection Questions:

  • What have you learned about yourself and fundraising so far?
  • What is something that is holding you back?
  • What has been a high and a low of MTD during this process?
  • The Hot Take Corner Question: Reflecting is a waste of time – I just need to work!
