As someone who cares about generosity, you probably want to make the most of all God has given you. But if you’re like many people, your wealth may be tied up in your assets like stocks, business interests, or real estate, while only a fraction is in cash. Watch this two-minute video to learn how you could give more to the charities you love to support by giving strategically from your non-cash assets.

PODCAST • 1 hour

In Luke 12, Jesus talks about anxiety in the context of birds and flowers. What is he talking about? Jesus’ view of the world is of a stable place, where we’re being hosted and cared for by a very generous person. In light of this, why would we worry?

This is a different picture of the world than what our culture presents. A Christian worldview sees abundance instead of scarcity. But as Christians, how do we maintain that abundance mindset at all times, especially right now? Listen as our friends from The Bible Project explore these questions.
