About Idle Treasure: a Christian response to the wealth sitting in donor advised funds
From the publisher's feed
There are billions of dollars accumulating in donor advised funds and we are here to ask the question, is this okay?
Some Christians say everything is fine; the system is…
working as it should. Others say this is a major problem.
Hosted by financial counselor, Courtney Markley, this mini-series will take you through a narrative journey to explore what really lies beneath this number.
But this story isn’t just about donor advised funds; it is about each of us and the elephant in the room: Christians give less today than during the Great Depression. It’s simply become normal in our culture for God’s people not to live generously.
Could our lack of giving be a sign that something greater is going on?
Throughout the journey we will hear from industry experts, ministry leaders, entrepreneurs, and biblical scholars. We’ll be joined by John Rinehart, Randy Alcorn, Ronald Blue, Peter Greer, and Craig Blomberg – just to name a few.
We'll explore the challenges people face when giving to charity, the obstacles of passing down generational wealth, and the vulnerable reasons we often keep money to ourselves.
The goal of this podcast is not to convince you to give more money away.
This is an invitation into a gentle discussion about giving, discipleship to Christ, and our idle treasure.
