“It is more blessed to give than to receive — to treat others better than yourself, even at the expense of yourself.” – Lori Lane

In this first episode of a two-part series, Lori and John explore what it means to raise givers, not takers in a culture obsessed with self. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and decades of hands-on parenting, they unpack how to cultivate a heart of generosity in your home, one that mirrors the humility and servant-heartedness of Christ.

Lori shares heartfelt reflections on how the cultural mantra of “you deserve it” has shaped modern parenting, and how families can return to a biblical model that celebrates humility, contentment, and self-sacrifice. Together, she and John offer encouragement and practical wisdom for building homes where giving flows naturally from hearts transformed by the gospel.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The biblical foundation for generosity in Acts 20:35 and Philippians 2:3–5
• How subtle parenting habits can unintentionally foster entitlement
• Why rewarding character over performance helps build a humble heart
• Practical ways to model generosity through time, service, and daily example
• How inconsistent boundaries can create a “me-first” mindset in children
• What it looks like to teach humility and sacrificial love within your family rhythm

This episode calls parents to reframe generosity as a reflection of God’s own giving nature. When we model servant-hearted living in our homes, we’re not just raising kind kids; we’re raising disciples who reflect the heart of Christ.
