When Giving Becomes Worship with Brian Harrell | Witness #27

#CheerfulGiver #BiblicalGiving #ChristianPodcast #FaithWalk #2Corinthians9   This week on Iwitness2Go, Kolendra welcomes her husband, Brian Harrell, for a powerful and honest conversation about giving, generosity, and heart posture.   After celebrating the sold-out release of She Was Just a Girl at Barnes & Noble in Newnan, Georgia, the discussion shifts to what God placed on Brian’s heart: 2 Corinthians Chapter 9.   Many of us grew up hearing “pay your tithes.” But what does Scripture actually say? Paul reminds the church that giving is not about pressure, obligation, or emotional manipulation. It is about the condition of your heart.   God loves a cheerful giver. This is Part 1 of 2.
