In this episode, Jeff and Alan discuss: 

• Early foundations of generosity. 
• Surviving the 2008 recession in the homebuilding industry. 
• The decision to give away 90% of his business to the National Christian Foundation. 
• The peace, freedom, and simplicity of turning it over to God. 

Key Takeaways: 

• You can survive through hard things with 2 things (in this order): God’s blessings and your network of relationships. 
• You only need so much to get through this life. Purpose allows you to do something with the excess now rather than gathering. 
• If you don’t know how to define what you are doing, define what it isn’t and narrow in on what you’re true intent is. 
• If you trust God long enough, you will learn to trust in His path and where He is leading. He wants the best for you and you will receive if only you trust. 

"Giving must be planned. We don't want to find ourselves having to consult our wallet or our calendar if we're asked to give." —  Alan Banks
