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]

Where Have You Placed Your Security?

The wealth of the rich is their fortified city they imagine it a wall too high to scale Proverbs NIV Money can provide real protection but it can also create a dangerous illusion of security We may begin to believe that enough savings investments or possessions can shield us from whatever life brings In Samuel we encounter a wealthy man named Nabal whose story illustrates the danger of placing too much confidence in earthly riches His experience reminds us that while financial resources are valuable tools they can never provide the ultimate security our hearts desire Nabal A Wealthy Man [... 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]

What book of the Bible reminds us that life is short and wisdom means making the most of the time God has given us Ecclesiastes This remarkable book refuses to let us avoid one of life's most uncomfortable realities our time here is brief Life under the sun is fleeting our accomplishments will not last forever and eventually every one of us will leave behind everything we have accumulated But Ecclesiastes does not confront us with mortality simply to make us somber It reminds us that life is short so we will learn to receive it as a gift And [... more]

Work as Worship

Theologian Dorothy Sayers once wrote Work is not primarily a thing one does to live but the thing one lives to do That challenges the way many of us think about our jobs We often see work primarily as a way to earn a paycheck provide for our families or make it to retirement But Scripture gives us a much bigger vision From the first pages of the Bible to the last Scripture does not present work as a necessary evil It is woven into what it means to bear God's image And whether our work is paid or unpaid [... more]
