045 reservoirs & canals (thoughts on biblical giving)


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore a timeless metaphor from St. Bernard of Clairvaux about living as reservoirs rather than canals—filling ourselves first before giving from overflow.

We discuss the intersection of biblical generosity, financial wisdom, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes faithful stewardship means adjusting our giving.

Through client stories and scriptural reflection, we examine what it means to give wisely in changing seasons, why limits are part of God's design, and how provision has never been our responsibility to bear alone.
