Every day we make decisions about money but not every decision is made with intention When it comes to generosity many of us wrestle with the same questions Where should we give How much should we give And does our giving really make a difference With so many worthy causes competing for our attention generosity can easily become reactive rather than intentional Yet Scripture invites us to see giving as something much greater than another financial habit Intentional generosity is an act of discipleship that connects our resources to God's work in the world Generosity Is Part of God's Purpose [... more]

Turning Good Intentions Into Generosity with Kendra VanderMeulen

Most Christians want to be generous But wanting to give and actually following through are two different things With so many worthy causes competing needs and financial decisions to consider even the best intentions can become overwhelming Without a plan our giving can become reactive rather than purposeful driven more by the requests we receive than by a thoughtful understanding of how God has entrusted us to steward His resources So how can we move from good intentions to meaningful action Kendra VanderMeulen CEO of the National Christian Foundation NCF joined the show today to discuss how developing a thoughtful [... more]

Christianity Behind the Curtain (Luke 6:38-45)

Share a commentIf you have ever looked around and thought I can't believe they did that Jesus has a way of turning the mirror back toward us We open Luke and listen as Jesus pulls the curtain back on what real discipleship looks like when the crowd is gone and the spotlight is off The issue is not how polished we appear but who we are becoming inside because the hidden life always leaks into the public one We walk through four clear marks of spiritual growth First genuine generosity that goes beyond money and shows up in time service [... more]

Defined by Christ, Not Wealth

Money can tell you how much you have but it makes a terrible answer to the question Who am I Wealth is a gift to steward but it was never meant to become our identity Yet in a culture that often measures success by income possessions and financial security it's easy to begin defining ourselves by what we have or what we lack Scripture offers a different perspective In fact some of Jesus' most memorable teachings about wealth reveal what happens when possessions become central to a person's identity When Wealth Becomes Your IdentityHave you ever noticed how Scripture describes [... more]

Every Reason to Judge (Luke 6:37)

Share a comment Judge not might be the most quoted Bible line in public arguments and one of the least understood We slow down and follow Jesus' words in Luke alongside Matthew's parallel teaching to uncover what He's actually confronting a quick-to-condemn slow-to-forgive posture that doesn't look anything like Christ From there we ask the hard question people avoid is it ever right to judge We trace the Bible's own boundaries and show why Christians must be able to call sin what it is evaluate teaching for truth or error and practice honest self-examination We talk about church accountability the [... more]
