Research
The Seven Deadly Sins of Christian Fundraising unpacks a new way of looking at the dynamics of raising money for Christian work. Drawing on over twenty-two years of frontline fundraising experience, Rodin weaves sound biblical theology with practical insight, naming seven subtle temptations — sins that may not be what readers expect — that quietly corrupt Christian development work when donors become targets instead of fellow stewards.
Challenge
Fundraising professionals, pastors, and volunteers alike face constant pressure to hit numbers, often at the cost of theological integrity. This book challenges anyone involved in raising money for ministry — professional or volunteer — to examine whether their methods are shaped by kingdom values or by borrowed corporate tactics that quietly compromise trust and generosity.
Process
- Names and unpacks seven specific “sins” that undermine faithful Christian fundraising
- Grounds each one in biblical theology rather than fundraising technique alone
- Offers a framework for raising up stewards in the kingdom, not just raising money
