Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought:

I want to monetize my writing... but I don’t have time to figure out how.

• • • • • • • •

I pour my heart into speaking and serving others... but seriously, I can’t keep getting paid in Starbucks gift cards.
{Especially when the gas to the gig costs more than the card balance!}

• • • • • • • •

I know I’m supposed to grow an audience, build an email list, and all that jazz... but building a platform costs so much time and money! {And quite frankly, my bank account can't take the strain anymore.}

• • • • • • • •

I’m tired of people asking to pick my brain just because I run a blog or published a book. I can’t possibly meet everyone for coffee and keep giving away my knowledge for free... but I don’t know how to say no or ask to get paid!

• • • • • • • •

I hear people talk about “multiple income streams” and words like “lead magnet” and “sales funnel” and “ad networks” {oh my!!}... and I wish someone would tell me exactly what the heck those are and how to use them!

• • • • • • • •

I’ve tried selling stuff... but everything I do seems to fail. I wonder what’s the point of even trying anymore.

• • • • • • • •

It seems like everybody else around me is figuring out how to make a living from their writing or speaking or candlestick making... except me. What am I doing wrong?

• • • • • • • •

And how about this classic?

I’m doing this work for Jesus, so... is it okay to make money from it? Does wanting to get paid in more than potted plants make me selfish and money-hungry?!

{No, it doesn’t. You’ve come to the right place.}

We have BEEN THERE!

And it’s time to discover a better way.

The Ministry to Business Guide

A Proven Path to Making a Living From Your Ministry

>> And Earning Your First $1,000! <<

Meet Your Guides

Hey, friends. We're Lisa-Jo, Becky, Katie and Jon—a team of Christian creatives and business-minded folks who LOVE Jesus and believe He has called us to ministry.

Collectively we've published eight books, uploaded hundreds of podcast episodes, spoken all over the country, coached fortune 100 companies, and posted on social media no less than 600 billion times (feels like, anyway).

Over the last decade-plus we've seen and done all the things, from blogging to coaching to online marketing, product launching, traditional and ebook publishing, conference networking and SO MUCH MORE.

We know what works and what we wish we'd never wasted time on.

And we're here to show you how to learn from our successes as well as our mistakes.

Our Ministry to Business Guide is a jam-packed, super easy to follow playbook for HOW TO EARN AN INCOME from your passion. It's filled with our favorite strategies, pro tips, and been there / done that insight from four veteran Christian industry insiders who are still DOING THE THINGS every day, ministering to real people AND earning an income to bless our families. We think it's not only possible; it's also wise.

"Ministry will shape us, but it shouldn’t sink us. Sadly I meet so many women who are drowning in their calling. I’m certain that’s not how it’s supposed to be."

— Alicia Bruxvoort, Proverbs 31 Ministries

The Ministry to Business Guide is the one-stop shop I wish I had before I started writing. Even with years of experience as a Christian blogger, author, speaker, and online business owner, I gleaned a wealth of valuable, practical tips from this resource. The Ministry to Business Guide gave me renewed motivation to use the gifts I've been given to glorify God while also generating additional income for my family.

— Kate Motaung, author, owner of Refine Services, and host of the Five Minute Friday writing community

This guide is AMAZING. It’s an absolute goldmine of wisdom. Wow! It’s the wise mentor you’ve always wanted, the brilliant business brain you’ve longed to pick, and the passionate creative you’ve ardently admired. Lisa Jo, Becky, Katie and Jon know what it takes to develop a ministry that both gives life and contributes to our livelihood. And in these pages, show us how to do it with integrity, dignity, and diligence. This is a much needed conversation and an incredibly helpful tool.

 Alicia Bruxvoort, Proverbs 31 Ministries

In my more than 10 years of blogging, authoring books, and now editing books for a major publishing house, I am constantly fielding questions from writers. How do I get an agent? Should I self-publish? How do I start a podcast? What are best practices for social media? Along comes the Ministry to Business Guide. This is the must-have, shorthand answer to the hundreds of questions that every writer is asking right now. If you are ready to take the next step, I highly recommend this guide.

— Jennifer Dukes Lee, nonfiction acquisitions editor for Bethany House Publishers and author of several books

I've been blogging for 14 years. Since before Pinterest and Instagram. This guide answered every question I've ever had about growing my ministry as a business. After years of listening to podcasts and taking courses, I still wasn't sure how to turn my ministry into a profitable business. Now I have the tools to grow so that I can serve more ladies. And the templates and extras, worth their weight in gold. I can't want to put the tips into place and grow the speaking side of my business. 

— LaToya Edwards, Founder of Women Finding God

What’s better than working hard to figure hard things out yourself? Having others who’ve already been there and done that hold your hand and take you where you wanted to go…faster! That’s exactly what the four Ministry to Business veterans who wrote this masterpiece have done. As someone who’s been attempting to navigate the realm of social media as a way to make a living and not just give my life away the past few years, I wish I’d had this in my back pocket (ok…google drive) a lot sooner. It’s got something (and then some) for anyone and everyone looking to take their life back and truly make their ministry a business, novice and seasoned alike. This guide is my new go-to for a fresh take on how I run my business…and better yet, grow it!

— Meredith Bernard, Photographer, Farm Wife, and Popular YouTuber

My blog began seven years ago while following Lisa-Jo Baker's five minute Friday adventures, shortly after my first son was born. I know it seems silly looking back, but those five minutes changed my life. I wish I would have had the Ministry to Business Guide then, full of all the information to start a business and not just a wistful hobby/passion. Not only does this guide include information, but even better, it also includes templates and more resources to help you on your entrepreneurial journey. Even today after blogging/podcasting for years, I can't believe how much I learned that I can add to my business to help increase my bottom line and still be a servant to my community. Thank you for this amazing resource.

— Amanda Huffman, Women of the Military podcast

The authors personally understand the divide between serving in ministry and making enough money to pay the bills. I have taken a lot of courses to stay current on marketing trends, but the collective insights from the writers provided tested strategies and practical how-to lists to monetize your passion and get a paycheck. While I was reading, I found myself scrambling for a pencil and paper to start creating action items for my own business—the inspiration and ideas were too good to miss! The breadth and depth of tips provide just the right fit for any season of professional growth. Grab a pencil and get ready to take notes that will help you focus and fuel your career!

Kelly Brinkmann, artist, writer and speaker, Art & Souls Creative Studio

When I began reading this powerhouse guide, I assumed it would be something I wish I’d had ten years ago when I was a newbie at writing publicly in the field of ministry. However, after completing it, I discovered a deep gold mine of information I still didn’t know—but now do. This guide honed in on my own personal questions about asking for payment in the first place and provided me with a clear, biblical way through those questionsIt showed me how to best offer my gifts as a service to others—what to do and what not to do, as well as advantages and disadvantages of each avenue of revenue. Considerable in content yet concise in format, this is a guide I'd love to have had ten years ago but am thrilled to learn from still today.
