On Episode 65 we kick off our series “Our Gifts, His Glory” with a conversation with Margaret Gibson. Margaret works in non profit development and is passionate about the topic of generosity. We thought this was the perfect way to kick off this series as we discuss what it looks like to give generously for the glory of God. Margaret guides us to where we can see generosity in The Bible. Spoiler alert! This is a topic that is woven throughout the entirety of scripture! Ultimately it points us back to how generous God has been to us by providing His grace, a gift we do not deserve. We left this conversation feeling so encouraged and inspired to give generously for the glory of God and pray that you will too.
Quotes:
“There is such a scarcity mentality. We think that there’s not enough. That is a fundamental issue about the character of God for us. It’s us not believing that God is not big enough, or good enough, or loves us enough to do good things for us or to provide for us in the way that He promises He will.” -Margaret Gibson
“Our generosity comes out of an overflow of what God does for us.” -Erin Kellogg
“The best way to get good at giving is to give.” -Margaret Gibson
