Where do you feel the Lord’s call to give? 

In this episode, Jeff and Lamar discuss: 

• Teaching your kids about debts, saving, and generosity.
• Shepherding your children’s hearts in what pulls on their hearts.
• How crises often lead to better things.
• Unique ways to bless people and organizations.

Key Takeaways: 

• Invite your children to make the giving decisions. Give them information, let them earn money, and then let them decide where it goes.
• Pray for where you are giving. Pray for the ministries, the charities, and the people.
• Create your own personal mission statement and live by that.
• Take time to talk to the Lord and ask Him how He would like you to steward His resources.

"My personal mission statement is to empower and exhort all of God’s children to be generous with all they have been given." —  Lamar King
