About this Episode

Want financial freedom and the joy of giving back? Join Chip’s new series, "The Genius of Generosity," starting now!

Four reasons it’s genius to be generous:

1. Generosity CHANGES our lives. -Acts 20:35; Pr. 11:25

2. Generosity CONNECTS us with others.

3. Generosity helps us INVEST in what matters. -Mt. 6:19-24

4. Generosity FREES our hearts.

Question: If generosity is so smart, why isn’t everyone doing it?

  • WEALTH is powerful and deceptive. -Mt. 13:22
  • The lure of MAMMON worship. -Mt. 6:24
  • It demands FAITH. -Mt. 6:19
  • Temporal myopia. -Mt. 6:23

Breakthrough Concept #1: Generosity is the gateway to intimacy with God.

Three questions brilliant people ask

1. Am I using the money entrusted to me in accordance with the OWNER’S wishes?

2. Am I carefully keeping account of where all the OWNER’S funds are going?

3. Am I becoming “best friends” with the “OWNER” by the privilege and opportunity of managing His resources?
