Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
In this busy end-of-year season, there’s wisdom in taking a pause to thoughtfully consider which assets you want to give to charity before assuming cash is best. In seasons when liquid securities in taxable portfolios see meaningful appreciation, be sure to ask your advisor about the possibility of gifting those assets before you sell them. This tax-efficient strategy could be worth the time you take.
“Redeeming Money 2025,” Kingdom Advisors’ gathering for the Christian financial industry is designed to inspire progress, connect people, and cultivate spiritual growth. Registration for the conference in Orlando is open and filling up fast. Learn more and register for this annual gathering.
When Jesus said that it is “more blessed to give than to receive,” the Greek word he uses for “blessed” is makarios, which means “happy-making.” That’s why those who give generously are so often full of joy. Learn the principle of giving in this video teaching from Randy Alcorn.
Saturday 7 is brought to you by our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF). We would love to help you create your Giving Strategy™, so you can experience more joy and adventure as you pursue a life of generosity. Find an NCF location near you at ncfgiving.com/locations.
