S1 Ep9 You can't outgive God with Gary Grant

In this episode of Active Generosity, we are joined by Gary Grant, Co-Founder and Non-Executive Chairman of The Entertainer, the largest family-owned toy retailer in the UK. "I wasn't generous before I was a Christian. In fact, quite the reverse, everything that I had was mine so why would I want to give it away". Hear about the dramatic journey of generosity that Gary has been on, both personally and professionally, since he came to faith in 1991. That journey includes setting up our charity partner Restore Hope, which helps people get back on their feet with practical support. "You can't outgive God. Be as generous as you can, as often as you can and make as big a difference as you can." Gary's favourite Bible verses on generosity: "Those who honour me I will honour, but those who despise me will be disdained." 1 Samuel 2:30 (NIV) See our note on Bible usage: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/bible-usage How you can pray for Gary: ·       For discernment to use his time wisely to best effect ·       For his fundraising efforts to get the new community hub for Restore Hope up and running ·       For good health Related links: The Entertainer: https://www.thetoyshop.com/aboutus Entertainer founder hands over shop chain to staff: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgm2jjwmw9jo Restore Hope: https://restorehopelatimer.org/ Give with Stewardship to Restore Hope: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/partners/20096832 Subscribe to this podcast: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/subscribe#Podcast Be the first to receive each month's podcast.
