The Founding Story.
madenew's first episode, and the story behind the impossible 3-year goal we set: 100 missions supported, 100,000 people brought to Christ, and $10,000,000 given to charity. Why we picked numbers so large that, if they actually came true, the only honest explanation would be God.
Show notes
Episode one of The Grass is Greener.
We start at the beginning: why two of us picked a goal so large that, if it actually came true, the only honest explanation would be God. 100 missions supported worldwide. 100,000 people brought to Christ. $10,000,000 given to charity. All in three years.
We talk about the call we couldn't argue with, the bet on the work mattering more than the brand, and the first madenew church planted in the Pacific Northwest of Washington within five.
The full mission, the wider work, and where every dollar lands, all at madenew.ch.

About the show
Conversations that
take their time.
Honest sit-downs with artists, pastors, and ordinary people who've learned that the grass isn't greener somewhere else, it's right where you've been planted.
Each episode is an hour at a real table. We talk about doubt, work, money, marriage, faith, the news, the calling. We don't rush. We don't pull punches. We try to leave you a little more hopeful than we found you.
The Grass is Greener is the front door of madenew. It's how we share the work, build the table, and fund what comes next: 100 missions supported, 100,000 people brought to Christ, $10 million given to charity, and a madenew church planted.
