Summary

What does it look like to live a life of generosity? What are some simple ways to make your investments have a lasting and powerful impact on the world?

Listen in as we hear from Eric Most, President of the National Christian Foundation Rocky Mountains and a current Denver Institute board member. In this episode, Eric Most outlines some common giving "mistakes" and provides helpful, practical steps to better steward the resources God has entrusted to us.

Highlights

"I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc, is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.”

C.S. Lewis Quote, from Mere Christianity
