45. Soundtracks and Self-Narratives: Reframing the Fundraising Journey

“We live at the mercy of our ideas.” – Dallas Willard

In this foundational episode of our new series on mental soundtracks in fundraising, we’re joined by the wise and winsome Patty S. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in patterns of doubt, striving, or self-criticism around fundraising, this episode is for you.

We unpack how our internal narratives—the soundtracks we replay in our heads—shape not only our fundraising strategies but also our identity and ministry posture. Drawing on personal experiences and years of walking alongside ministry workers, Patty helps us name unhealthy mindsets and invites us to replace them with truth, grace, and intentionality.

This episode kicks off a multi-part journey toward reframing how we think about fundraising—moving from fear and scarcity to purpose and formation. Whether you’re in a season of support raising or simply feeling stuck, you’ll find insight, encouragement, and plenty of “aha” moments.
