Building a Nonprofit Ministry with Havilah Cunnington

Welcome back to Smart Girl Summer. Today, I’m with a powerhouse of fun and brilliance, Havilah Cunnington. She was just recently on the show teaching us how to hear from God, and now she's sharing the behind-the-scenes of her work and her ministry. 

She runs the Christian non-profit - Truth to Table, and she doesn’t shy away from bringing you all the details. This is a dream episode of Smart Girl Summer. You’re going to love this one! 

Havilah Cunnington is a Bible teacher, author, small business owner, and itinerant speaker obsessed with helping people live the abundant life God has called them to live. 

Havilah’s new book, Created to Hear God: 4 Unique and Proven Ways to Confidently Discern His Voice, teaches that God speaks to each of us differently, and the key to understanding the unique way He speaks to us is through our prophetic personality.

 

Join Havilah and I as we talk about:

• Building her nonprofit ministry
• How important it is to have an email list
• Protecting yourself from comparison
• What’s working on social media in 2024
• Starting new things and having a business coach

Favorite quotes: 

• 2:47 - “You better have a business mindset because it doesn’t just happen with the sprinkle of favor. It really has to be a conscious decision to build.”
• 18:10 - “Social media is still really great. Humor is working. Solving problems is really working and if you can still meet the need there, it’s great.”
• 20:26 - “You have to niche down. Keep niching until you find your people.”
• 22:29 - “Your reader, your listener, your viewer are asking what’s in it for me all the time. So that is the goal.”
• 24:01 - “Failure doesn’t always happen in the beginning. Failure happens when we don’t stop and assess if it still has value.”

How to Take Action 

Action creates information. When you do something you learn from it. Don’t freeze up. Make a choice and move. Take action on all the good things that you know that you want to give it a try. It may not be perfect, but it will be progress. Keep moving. Keep learning. And keep growing.

 

Recommendations: (42:04)

My fun recommendation this week is about lashes. Lash View Self-adhesive lashes from Amazon, come in clusters of lashes. They simply stick to your lashes and they’re easy to put on and take off. These are great!
