Communicator, author, and pastor Andy Stanley founded Atlanta-based North Point Ministries (NPM) in 1995. Today, NPM consists of seven churches in the Atlanta area and a network of nearly 100 churches around the globe that collectively serve nearly 185,000 people weekly. A survey of U.S. pastors in Outreach magazine identified Andy as one of the ten most influential living pastors in America. Andy holds an undergraduate degree in journalism from Georgia State University and a master’s degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He is the author of more than 20 books, including Irresistible; The New Rules for Love, Sex & Dating; How to Be Rich; Deep & Wide; Enemies of the Heart; When Work & Family Collide; Visioneering; and Next Generation Leader.

His success reaches well beyond the Atlanta area. Over 10.5 million of his messages, leadership videos, YouTube videos, and podcasts are accessed each month. He is the host of the TV show, Your Move with Andy Stanley, which airs in major markets after Saturday Night Live.

In this episode, Andy and I discuss what Jesus taught regarding money, wealth, and charity. And why it’s a great idea to always GIVE FIRST. Learn more about Andy’s ministry here and watch Your Movehere.
