About this episode
This episode reflects on the importance of preaching generosity beyond financial crises, emphasizing it as a part of discipleship.
When was the last time we preached on generosity — and it wasn’t because the budget was tight? Money is one of the clearest windows into our trust, our fears, and our worship. Yet many of us only speak about it at the AGM or when pressure rises. In this episode, we reflect on generosity not as fundraising, but as discipleship. We talk about: Why giving flows from the grace of the gospel, not guilt How to build a culture where generosity is normal and joyful The risk of only addressing money in crisis moments How leaders can model generosity with integrity Practical steps to start shaping generous hearts this month Toolbox: Jehovah Jireh My Provider Song Giving Generously by Rod Irvine Neither Poverty Nor Riches (New Studies in Biblical Theology Series) by Craig L Blomberg Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.
