    A Biblical Worldview of Tithing and Giving
    Jan 27 2026
    Bob and Shawn examine why generosity is such a central theme in Scripture and why it has quietly faded from many church conversations. Drawing from passages like Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 3:9–10, and Acts 20:35, we explore how tithing is not about obligation, but about trust, worship, and acknowledging God as the true owner of all we have. The discussion also unpacks the deeper purposes of giving—breaking selfishness, meeting real needs, advancing the Gospel, and reflecting the heart of Christ. Listeners are challenged to move beyond a purely cash-based mindset and consider giving through time, talents, assets, and planned generosity, always guided by prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel.
