Bonus Episode with Randy Alcorn

from Idle Treasure: a Christian response to the wealth sitting in donor advised funds · host Courtney Markley

In this episode we sit down with best-selling author Randy Alcorn to talk about the money accumulating in DAFs and private foundations. Randy argues that God rewards implemented choices, not stored intentions, and he challenges us to think practically about "good works." Along the way, we explore stewardship, spiritual warfare, and why mammon remains a live threat even for sincere Christians.Randy also addresses several practical questions about giving charitable assets. Questions like: how long is too long to keep money in a DAF, what to do when you can’t find one organization with capacity for a large gift, and whether it’s wise to preserve the principal. Then we turn to family questions, including inheritance and legacy building. Randy closes with stories that bring the whole conversation back to joy, eternity, and the kind of generosity you never regret.Listen, share it with a friend, and leave a review.~Subscribe to Idle Treasure if you would like to receive bonus content from this episode.Idle Treasure is sponsored by the Center for Financial Discipleship.
