from Ask Mom and Dad · host Ask Mom & Dad
Greg and Tonya are back talking about the one topic that makes everybody squirm—money in the church. They unpack Greg’s current sermon series on generosity and why so many of us get tangled up between “love of money is the root of all evil” and the clear biblical call to be cheerful, open-handed givers.They ask the big question: If Noah tried to build the ark in today’s church, would the finance team shut it down? From Malachi’s “test me” challenge and the early church sharing everything they had, to stories of leather portfolios, Mercedes, and youth ski boats, they wrestle with stewardship, control, micro-managing, and what real cheerful giving looks like.If you’ve ever felt tension between giving generously and wanting every dollar accounted for exactly how you think it should be, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Tune in for honest husband-and-wife talk about living with open hands instead of clenched fists.CHAPTERS (No timestamps)Opening Chat & Spring AllergiesWhy Pastors Have to Talk About MoneyIt’s All God’s—We’re Just StewardsThe Danger of Worldly Management ThinkingNoah’s Ark & Other “Bad” Financial Decisions God BlessesFaith vs Fear: Dead Sea or Flowing River?Trusting Leaders With God’s ResourcesClosing Encouragement to Give Cheerfully
