In this episode of the ChurchCandy Podcast, Brady sits down with Copper Nelms, co-founder of Four Church Agency and a former church leader who helped rebuild a culture of generosity from the ground up—without a capital campaign. If you're a church planter, pastor, or ministry leader trying to increase giving in a healthy, sustainable way, this episode is for you.
From viral sermons and cultural trends to post-COVID rebuilding, Copper shares practical systems and a deeply spiritual philosophy behind how his church increased giving by over 60% in one year—and 45% per household the next—without ever asking people to "give more."
