In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Todd discuss: Todd’s journey through entrepreneurship and faith from a young age. How Generous Giving gets their message out and serves those in the world. Meeting God where you are. Rethinking generosity with scriptural references. Key Takeaways: Encourage people to be radically generous to God’s kingdom. You can do that without asking for money. You should never have a sense of guilt or shame around your giving. It’s not about us, it’s about what God wants to do through us in building His kingdom. The ultimate authority in our life is God. There is freedom in living by applying the scriptures to your life. "All truth is God’s truth. Whether you believe or not, giving brings joy." — Todd Harper Episode Reference: Francis Chan Eternity Rope Illustration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N5AfkLN2Ys Pete Och’s Story: https://generousgiving.org/a-conversation-with-pete-and-austin-ochs/ Alan Barnhart’s Story: https://generousgiving.org/god-owns-our-business/ JOG Events: https://generousgiving.org/events/jog/ About Todd Harper: As a founder of Generous Giving, Todd has been actively engaged in spreading the message of generosity for 20 years.
