Is tithing just an outdated command from the Old Testament… or is it still relevant for believers today?

In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges one of the most common misconceptions about giving and gets to the heart of what tithing really represents.

Through both Old and New Testament examples, he unpacks a powerful truth:
Tithing didn’t begin with the law—and it didn’t end with it either.

Instead, it’s part of a much bigger story…One rooted in gratitude, worship, and a transformed heart. 

You’ll discover how:

• Tithing existed before the law through Abraham and Jacob
• The early church modeled radical generosity far beyond 10%
• Jesus affirmed tithing—but challenged the heart behind it
• True giving flows from gratitude, not obligation

This conversation isn’t about rules.
It’s about what your giving says about your heart—and your trust in God.
