How are you stewarding the resources God has given you to help the community around you and around the world? In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Tom, and Chelsea discuss: Supporting sustainable employment to create a larger impact. Deciding where to give. Passing your faith to the next generation - caught, not taught. Collaborative giving. Key Takeaways: Sometimes God will call you to a hard place where you are not going to have the highest impact for the dollar. Lean on Him - He knows where His resources are needed. God was generous with us first - He gave us life, resources, and time. We should be stewarding those resources for the good of His Kingdom. It is the simple things that shape hearts and minds. You don’t need to overcomplicate how you share your faith - just live it and invite people in. Get engaged in a community. There are giving communities around the world that will facilitate growth and learning as you are starting your giving journey.
