Have you looked at ways, beyond the obvious, that you might be able to give to those problems weighing on your heart?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Jon discuss:

• Loving people in a hard place is like Jesus loved people in a hard place.
• Obeying the clear calls of God, even when you don’t know the reasons.
• Giving to the causes God places in your heart.
• Creative solutions to the problems God puts in your heart.

Key Takeaways:

• Character formation happens in our hardest seasons.
• People need to hear about Jesus. What are we doing to help more people learn about Him?
• Giving is a spiritual journey, not a mechanical one. Only God can help grow that love of giving in their hearts.
• Kids need to understand the concept of giving from an early age. Talk to them about giving and give them opportunities to give.

"You should be talking to your advisors, maybe to an NCF office, or to someone that can help you understand there are opportunities on your balance sheet that you can give, that you might not realize you can give." — Jon Eisenberg

About Jon Eisenberg: I long to see askers, givers, and systems that increasingly reflect the lavish generosity of Our Father.

I started working in the ministry of generosity in 2000. I have since spent half my career in Major or Principal Gift work and half in Executive leadership of high-performing teams that grow top-line contributions by focusing on helping people look forward to giving. This grows out of the conviction that fundraising is a spiritual discipline, whether asking or giving, we are trusting God to take care of tomorrow as we live sacrificially today. I want for the givers I serve and the teams I lead, not from them (Phil 4:17).

Today, I get to walk with givers, their advisors, and the ministries they love as they develop a Giving Strategy that seeks to maximize both the joy they feel in giving as a family and the impact they have as they make the most of all God has given to them.
