"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. This guide is AMAZING. It's an absolute goldmine of wisdom. 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, they show us how to do it with integrity, dignity, and diligence. This is a much needed conversation and an incredibly helpful tool."

Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought:
I want to grow my audience... but I don’t have time to figure out how.
• • • • • • • •
I pour my heart into speaking and teaching others... but seriously, it's so much work... I can’t keep getting paid in Starbucks gift cards.
• • • • • • • •
I’m tired of people asking to pick my brain just because I run a speaking ministry. 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!
• • • • • • • •
It seems like everybody else around me is figuring out how to make a living from their teaching 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.}

Who are we, anyway, and why should you listen us?
Hey, friends. We're Lisa-Jo Baker, Becky Kopitzke, Katie Reid and Jonathan Purifoy—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 self 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.
The Inspired Business Guide to Speaking is a jam-packed, super easy to follow playbook for HOW TO GROW YOUR SPEAKING MINISTRY TO A REAL BUSINESS and do it with passion and purpose. 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.
Lisa-Jo Baker
Lisa-Jo is a former attorney and the author of 3 books, including the Publishers Weekly bestseller, Never Unfriended and a Bible study for both adult women and teens. She is a national speaker and syndicated author, her writings have been featured on HuffingtonPost Parents, Christianity Today, (in)courage, Focus on the Family, and the Hallmark Home & Family Channel and she is the co-host of the popular Out of the Ordinary Podcast. Lisa-Jo lives just outside Washington DC with her husband of over 20 years and their three very loud kids.
Becky Kopitzke

Her work has appeared regularly on websites for Kirk Cameron, Zondervan's FaithGirlz, popular Christian blog The Better Mom, and many others. Becky lives happily ever after in northeast Wisconsin with her husband of 20 years (who is also a work-from-home entrepreneur), their two teen/tween daughters, and two feisty pups.
Jonathan Purifoy

He is the founder of Black Barn Solutions, LLC, and co-founder of Black Barn Press, a community designed to support Christian creatives in the publishing industry.

Katie is the author of Made Like Martha and A Very Bavarian Christmas and co-host of The Martha + Mary Show podcast. She has been featured in numerous publications including HuffPost, TODAY's Parenting Blog, and Focus on the Family.

She thrives on connecting fellow communicators with one another so they can benefit from sharing their talents. Katie and her pastor husband live in beautiful rural Michigan with their five lively children.
Street cred? Yep, we got it.
Among the four of us, we've worked with a boatload of legit people and places. Here's a sampling of 'em.
"I've been wanting to launch something for ages but wasn't sure how to manage the small costs that would come up in my doing so. It was stressing me out. I couldn't even imagine what more costly shake ups would be required in the future to keep my family thriving while also dedicating more time to my ministry as it grows. The business ideas you presented were so helpful in reframing the way I thought about making money doing something I care deeply about. Thanks so much for making the guide!" — Karen
