Larry O'Nan - Intentional Living and Giving
Manage episode 486214378 series 2772535
Larry O'Nan brings over 50 years of experience in Christian nonprofit fund development to share transformative insights about biblical stewardship. After unexpectedly losing his dream job in music ministry, Larry discovered his true calling when handed 28 boxes of unclaimed pledge cards worth nearly $2 million. This moment launched a career that would revolutionise how Christian organizations approach funding and partnership development.
Throughout this conversation, Larry challenges common misconceptions about stewardship, explaining how it encompasses far more than just financial giving. He shares the powerful concept of "freedom to fail" that enabled him to build one of the largest fund development entities in Christian work, growing from a desperate situation to managing 125 people across seven departments. His book, "Intentional Living and Giving," offers both theological foundations and practical guidance for understanding our role as stewards of God's resources - including our time, talents, and treasure. Larry's approach transforms fundraising from transactional exchanges into genuine partnerships where people own the mission alongside the organisation.
