Welcome to Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future.
Today I sit down with Pastor Ken McAnulty, Executive Pastor of Arise Church, for one of the most practical and needed conversations in the church today… What Should Modern Christians Think About Tithing?
Tithing is one of the most misunderstood topics in modern Christianity. Some people feel guilty. Some feel confused. Some feel pressured. Others want to honor God but aren’t sure what it really looks like.
This episode cuts through the confusion and gives you clarity, confidence, and a biblical foundation for honoring God with your finances.
We walk through the 10 biggest questions people ask about tithing, including:
• Is tithing still required for Christians today?
• Does it have to be 10%? Does regular giving count as a tithe?
• Should I tithe on gross or net? What about bonuses or tax returns?
• Who should tithe? Should pastors tithe? Should teens tithe?
• Where should my tithe go—my local church or anywhere I feel led?
• What if I’m in debt or feel like I can’t afford to tithe?
• Does God really bless tithers? Am I cursed if I don’t tithe?
• What if I tithe but don’t see financial blessing?
• What if my spouse doesn’t want to tithe?
• Does giving time or talent count as tithing?
• And… can I automate my tithe or is that less spiritual?
Pastor Ken brings pastoral wisdom, biblical truth, and decades of real-life ministry experience to help you understand God’s heart behind generosity. Whether you're new to tithing, wrestling with questions, or wanting to grow in your faith, this episode will help you move forward with peace and purpose.
