Generous Asians

Jeff Lee and DJ Chuang continue the conversation about money and faith. We discuss questions like: why is it so hard for Asian American Christians to talk about money? Is money good or bad? How can we grow in understanding the goodness of money and its capacity to do good and to love our neighbor, just as the Bible commanded? And where does generosity fit in?

Why We’re Talking about Money, Faith, and Generosity

This marks the beginning of our conversation about generosity as an audio podcast. My friend Jefferson Lee will be joining me twice a month to talk about money and faith. We invite you to listen in as we explore the many topics related to generosity that are rarely talked about, and why it is so important that we do.

In this first episode, we reminesce how we first met, revisit both our personal and professional experiences in giving and philanthropy, and anticipate the topics we’ll cover in the coming months.

Towards Creating a Future Together

DJ Chuang wrote this article for Asian American Christian Collaborative’s Reclaim Magazine, “One Thing We Lack: There’s a dearth of public, strategic giving from Asian Americans. We can lead the way.” In this reflection, the author explores a vision for what the future could look when we become more generous with our time, talents, and treasures, while acknowledging some of the cultural challenges in our context.

Story of Katherine and Eugene Tsay

Could giving generously be an easier decision when you have less? Possibly. Watch this video of Katherine and Eugene Tsay’s decision to donate their stock options and how sticking to that decision has affected their lives.

In Closing

Thank you for coming along this pioneering effort with me. I’d love to hear your comments and feedback as you read this newsletter and listening to this podcast.

Please share this newsletter and podcast with others, and join me in prayer that we can foster a humble community that overflows with blessings to bless others through our generosity.
