If being generous scares you… that’s okay.

Because that tension really is an invitation into a deeper revelation of God’s character and truth, his Kingdom principles, and so much more.

Most of us know that it's "good" to be generous (financially AND otherwise)... and yet, it can also be challenging to know how (and how MUCH) God actually wants us to live that out in our everyday lives.

Today, we're sitting down with our friend Emily Reed and talking about all things generosity: working through our own fears and the barriers, discovering the powerful ripple effect of generosity, the practical examples and mindset shifts that have helped us most, as well as amazing personal testimonies of how exercising generosity doesn't just change us—but others through us, too.
