Why do some Christians give joyfully while others give reluctantly?Most of us know generosity is good. Yet many Christians still approach giving reluctantly, defensively, or simply as another bill to pay.Tish Maier talks with Des Smith about why that gap exists and how churches can help people move towards joyful, gospel-shaped generosity. They discuss gratitude, sacrifice, stewardship, and practical ways to cultivate hearts that delight in giving rather than merely feeling obligated to do it.Des is the Senior Pastor of Trinity Church Lockleys Adelaide and Tish is the Support Raising Manager at Reach Australia. Toolbox:Part 1: Ep 455 When giving is uncomfortable instead of cheerful in your church (Des Smith)Generosity PathCredits: The One Thing is brought to you by ⁠⁠Reach Australia⁠⁠To pray for Reach Australia, join our ⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠For ideas or questions please email ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠Support Reach Australia's online library
