INTRODUCING: Zero-Fee ACH Giving For Churches [A New Standard For Church Donations] Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

RebelGive, our online giving platform for churches. The idea behind RebelGive is really simple - when someone gives money to your church, your church should get to keep all of it. Your giving provider shouldn't get to keep any for themselves - and your church shouldn't lose any of that gift to processing fees either.

How A Pastor Gained 700% More Followers On Social In 60 Days [CASE STUDY] Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

I want you to take a look at something with me for a moment. This is my friend Alex Dion Wilson's TikTok page. At the time of this recording, he's got around three hundred and fifty thousand followers. And that's crazy because he just started using TikTok a couple of months ago and has built this following up from zero in that time. But that's not actually the crazy thing I want to show you.
