Intervention Part 4 | The Compatibility Criteria

How do we know which organizations or programs we are uniquely suited to partner with?

In this episode, we explore the final set of criteria in evaluating interventions: compatibility criteria. These focus on how our unique gifts, relationships, and God’s guidance position us to engage meaningfully with particular organizations or programs. Understanding compatibility helps us align our giving with both impact and personal calling.

In this episode, we explore:

• Spiritual discernment: Recognizing God’s leading through spiritual fruit, scripture, the Holy Spirit, prayer, counsel, and circumstances.

• Personal engagement: Identifying ways to invest beyond finances, using our time, talents, and influence to deepen impact.

• Personal connection: Leveraging relationships with organizations to strengthen both our giving and their work while navigating tension between loyalty and effectiveness.

By reflecting on these criteria, we gain clarity on where our resources and gifts intersect with meaningful impact. When we partner with organizations in ways that align with God’s design for us, our generosity becomes both joyful and transformational.
