Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
When you’re planning to be generous with what God has entrusted to you, how do you determine which charities to invest in? What criteria guides your decision-making? We know that, for many, this discernment process can become overwhelming.
So, we asked Dr. Brian Fikkert, author of the book, Helping Without Hurting, to share how discovering a better narrative can guide our giving and result in the kind of life change needed by impoverished communities.
Faithful stewardship of all God has blessed us with involves not just giving – but giving well. But how can we ensure our generosity aligns with God’s purposes? God wants his people to give generously to ministries and causes that are aligned with what he’s told us he is doing in the world. Learn more about Helping without Hurting in Generosity, a new curriculum co-created with the Chalmers Center.
When author and speaker Carlos Whittaker met Lillian during a visit to Uganda, he invited her to share her story. Listen as Lillian shares how child sponsorship served as a through line of hope during her tumultuous life. Join the interview at the 12-minute mark.
