The Family Business : A Parable About Stepping Into the Life You Were Made For
Tyndale House Publishers
See publicationLiving less than your greater purpose? This parable will lead you to a life of significance.
Families are complicated―no one knows that more than Jesse. As the founder of Jesse’s Hardware, he has invested years in starting a business and growing it into a nationally known franchise with a reputation of excellence. Jesse’s Hardware stores touch countless lives by always providing the right tool, at the right time, for the perfect long-term repair. Everyone knows Jesse’s…Living less than your greater purpose? This parable will lead you to a life of significance.
Families are complicated―no one knows that more than Jesse. As the founder of Jesse’s Hardware, he has invested years in starting a business and growing it into a nationally known franchise with a reputation of excellence. Jesse’s Hardware stores touch countless lives by always providing the right tool, at the right time, for the perfect long-term repair. Everyone knows Jesse’s Hardware!
But Jesse is getting older. It’s time for the next generation to step in and take the family business to more communities that need the caring support of Jesse’s Hardware. Jesse’s children have a choice to make. How do Evie, Dave, Zach, Becca, and Mo change their lives so that they can step into their father’s mission? Do they allow fear and uncertainly to keep them from living the life they were made for?
The Family Business will help you to examine your faith in light of a good father who wants his kids to experience the joy of his work, and the help that his business brings.
As you dive into this accessible parable, you’ll find yourself in the back-stories of the kids who struggle with issues that each of us face. You may see your need for control, ambition, security, comfort, and self-sufficiency. And, it may be a catalyst for you to lean into love and learn how to use your gifts and talents to help others. -

Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms – supported by Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition – show what’s possible when humanitarian response is led by communities themselves: fast, accountable, and rooted in dignity. This op-ed by Andrea Tracy and Tom Perriello (former U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan) in Inside Philanthropy makes a powerful case for why funders must urgently back these locally led efforts – especially as traditional systems struggle to reach those most at risk. Well worth reading and sharing. 🤲🏽 #Sudan #EyesOnSudan #MutualAidSudanCoalition #ERRs

Fundraising isn’t just about mobilizing resources — it’s about nurturing relationships. When donors only hear from us during a funding request, we risk turning meaningful partnerships into simple transactions. Authentic engagement means: keeping donors informed, sharing progress and lessons, celebrating impact together. Strong relationships build sustainable development. Let’s invest in people, not just proposals. #Fundraising #DonorRelations #DevelopmentImpact #Partnerships

Your non-profit's fundraising ROI (return on investment) is one of the most important metrics to track when planning your development strategy. Every organization has limited time, budget, and bandwidth. You need to invest those three resources where they will have the most impact. The best way to do that is to know the ROI of each of your fundraising tactics. Use the tools in this article to track your fundraising ROI and learn how to use that metric in your decision-making process: https://lnkd.in/ejJ_PUTJ

Why Funding Gaps Persist Even in High-Impact Organizations A common misconception is that fund development results from strong writing. In practice, funding decisions are driven by: 🕒 Organizational readiness 🕒Clear outcomes and metrics 🕒Financial systems that demonstrate stewardship 🕒Mission and programs alignment with funding priorities These elements need to be in place so that well-written grant proposals are not declined. Don’t get overwhelmed with the process. Connect with us, and we will help you get started with our grant-writing strategies to sustain long-term funding.

We're often asked abroad, how much does the evidence from the Center for Effective Philanthropy on funders apply to their local context, or is it purely for the US context only? Well, today we released a new research report on the what grantees of European based funders have to say about them, with comparisons to what they say about their US funders. Check it out!
