What does it mean to live a generous life? Is this lifestyle dependent only on making a lot of money? During this podcast, LaKisha has a conversation with Bill Stevens of Generous Wealth Builders. They discuss Bill's passion around helping others learn and understand creative ways to be generous. They also discuss the program "Journey of Generosity" and how anyone can participate in this group in order to consider creative ways to instill a lifestyle of generosity within their life, family and business. Walking beside others as they step into this journey fits within the vision of 4Tucson, "To see a city aligned with God's ways so that His peace and prosperity are experienced by all generations."

The collective group seeking to own the lostness in our city refuses to move fast. We are not willing to leave the impression that others are not welcome to link arms in the collective citywide Evangelism Teams. Listen as Jesse Northway from the City Gospel Movement explains why.

In this podcast, Lakisha introduces us to Karen Hills, who is a career educator experienced with multiple levels and positions. Recently retired, she joined 4Tucson as the Educational Liaison Volunteer after working with the Educational Taskforce for the past two years. 

Karen describes her experience with feeling burnout and frustration as a teacher, "I felt like I was in a cage, but the door was never locked." She informs us on best practices that can support teachers/educators, including Teach 4 the Heart, educator support groups, and congregational prayer over the educators in our church communities.

Email Karen at [email protected] with any questions or comments. Keep an eye on the 4Tucson calendar and newsletters for further information about the educator influencer summit and forming support groups. Don't forget to pray for the educators in your community!
