Generous Business Owner

Greg Baumer: God, Money, and True Generosity


Listen Later

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Greg discuss: 

  • What he learned about God and Money at Harvard Business School. 
  • Utilizing our successes for God’s purposes. 
  • Where to find your true value. 
  • Anchoring transparency around money in gratitude and celebration. 

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • There are 2350 verses about money in the Bible. 
  • Everything we have truly belongs to God. This is a point of divergence between practice and belief. 
  • “How much do I get to keep?” is a more accurate question than “How much do I need?” because God is a generous God and wants to bless us with more than we know. 
  • Giving is a joyful act of worship, not a rulebook or rote formula. It is an opportunity to recognize God’s character as lavishly generous and reflect that character back to Him.

  

"One of the biggest benefits of this financial finish line is that it does allow us to give more, and that's great, but more so it protects our heart from the damage that happens over multi-decades being surrounded by our culture's worship of Mammon." —  Greg Baumer
