Generous AsiansEpisode 10: Why Giving is Godly and How to Give PracticallyThere’s basically 2 sides to giving: the spiritual and the practical. Often times, Christian and Bible teachings about the principles of money and giving and stick with the safer dimensions of the spiritual and theological. But many people struggle to translate those abstract principles into practical reality, as evidenced by the giving statistics of regular church attenders.We don’t think Christian giving should prescribe formulas; real-life examples and stories would be much more helpful.

Generous AsiansEpisode 9: What Does It Take to Grow Generous People?Most of us know the right thing to do when it comes to faith and money. One of the most basic steps of obedience is the idea of tithing, giving back to God a portion of our earnings, as an expression of faith that God provides everything that we have. And yet the reality is that the typical church attender gives at the rate of around 2 to 3 percent. To help people move from knowledge into action takes more than faith and inspiration. It also takes motivation and ability at 3 different levels. And that’s what co-hosts DJ Chuang an...2021-03-3133 min

We also touch on some other related issues, like whether to give to only church and missions, or also to community needs, as well as how much to tithe if someone has financial debt and needs all of their income to cover living expenses.
