Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Don and Joann Tolmie used to tell their children and grandchildren, “We need to live beyond ourselves.” They modeled it in their church and with their friends. They stretched themselves all their lives to give, not only financially, but with everything they had. Then, when they were 70 years old, God gave living beyond themselves a new meaning.
When business owner Alan Barnhart is asked how he decides where to give, both personally and from his company's profits, he talks about being strategic. Listen as Alan explains how he determines where God is specifically directing him instead of focusing on what is good, bad, or best.
Last month, NCF participated in "Redeeming Money," a gathering of the Christian financial industry by Kingdom Advisors (KA). NCF's CEO Kendra VanderMeulen joined KA president Sharon Epps and Generous Giving CEO April Chapman to discuss building generous communities. In addition, NCF leaders and key advisors shared how to lead the conversation with clients about where to deploy donor-advised-fund dollars.
