Is it support raising or is it discipleship?

Guest: Tony Dentman

Host: Callie Davis

Stage Rewind: Take a look back with us on some of the impactful content from our workshop speakers at the 2026 Support Raising Leaders Conference! In this episode, Tony Dentman, founder of the Funding Tribe Foundation, shares his heart and vision that support raising is so much more than money from his workshop, Blessed to be a Blessing. This vision comes out of Tony's experience of it as he raised support from a low-income background, with an unsupportive community, and saw God doing something bigger in his own journey into ministry.
