Jeff Shafer, CEO of CommonGood Capital, speaks with Kendra VanderMeulen, CEO of the National Christian Foundation (NCF) who embodies the spirit of pioneering leadership and generosity. Kendra’s remarkable journey began in the telecommunications industry with AT&T in the 70s and 80s, where she was already on the cutting edge of technology, working on what would eventually become the smartphone—years before the iPhone ever hit the market. But her story doesn’t stop there. Kendra’s passion for leveraging generosity for kingdom impact led her to found the National Christian Foundation’s Seattle affiliate office, and she later served as President of the Northwest region. Her work has been pivotal in building up the next generation of leaders in the Christian generosity space. Kendra will share insights from her incredible career, her deep commitment to helping others discover the profound joy of biblical generosity, and how our fostering a culture of giving can transform the world around us.
