In a culture obsessed with advancement and self-improvement, how does the Bible call us to live? Dr. John Neufeld explores the radical Christian virtue of contentment from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, teaching that believers are called to embrace God's assignment in whatever situation they find themselves. Paul's principle remains: be content where God has placed you while seeking freedom when possible, and find satisfaction not in changing your circumstances, but in recognizing the spiritual riches you possess in Christ.

The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

The most generous people give something money can’t buy—their time, their presence, and their love.

Generosity reaches far beyond finances. It shapes hearts, strengthens families, and builds communities of grace. Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about the long-term impact of generous living.

Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi’s parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.

If you’ve ever wondered what true generosity looks like, it’s often simpler—and closer to home—than we think. Generosity isn’t measured by dollar amounts or estate plans; it’s written on the faces and in the actions of people who live with open hearts.

In fact, if you ask someone a simple question like this, you will move their hearts more than you know:

“Think about the most generous person you know. What do they look like? What’s their countenance? Their posture?”

Take a moment to picture them. Chances are, their face lights up your mind’s eye. They’re probably joyful, peaceful, genuine—and not necessarily wealthy. That’s because generosity is about heart, not income. It’s about presence, not possessions.

When we make generosity personal, it changes us. We stop thinking in abstract ideas and start remembering real people who gave freely of themselves—and in doing so, reflected the heart of Christ.

When this question is asked, the answers are often the same: a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle—someone who gave of themselves through love, laughter, and listening. These aren’t people who built foundations or donated millions. They modeled generosity through steady love and consistency.

That’s what long-term generosity looks like. It starts at home and grows outward.

When we hear “long-term impact,” our minds often jump to wills, trusts, or endowments. Those are important tools, but they’re not the whole story. True long-term impact happens when we invest our lives, not just our assets.

Every day, we have the chance to sow generosity through acts of service, hospitality, and encouragement. These simple seeds—when planted faithfully—bear fruit that outlasts any financial gift because they grow in people’s hearts.

If you long to leave a legacy of generosity, start small.

• Serve one person this week. Ask God to show you where you can listen, encourage, or help.
• Be steady and intentional. Generosity grows through daily habits, not grand gestures.
• Practice generosity with time and words. The way you invest relationally today can change someone’s tomorrow.

Over time, those small acts of faithfulness will shape the kind of life others remember as generous.

Generosity is most powerful when it’s shared. Families that give together cultivate hearts that reflect God’s heart. Take your children with you when you serve at a food pantry. Let them see generosity in action. Talk about giving not as an obligation but as a joyful response to God’s grace.

One practical way to make giving intentional is through a donor-advised fund—or what our friends at the National Christian Foundation call a Giving Fund. It’s like a charitable checking account where you can deposit money now and prayerfully decide later how to di

Case Study #1 – Reuben Hill (Minnesota Report)

• Summary: The balanced authoritative parent, who gives high support (love) and high control (discipline), typically produces children with high self-esteem, good coping skills, and a positive relationship with parents.

Case Study #2 – Hebrews 12 - Christians A.D. 66-70

• Summary: Discipline is teaching obedience to God and His Word through consistent consequences (actions) and clear instructions (words) in an atmosphere of love.

Five characteristics of discipline:

1. The necessity of discipline = To deter DESTRUCTION. -Heb. 12:4
2. The means of discipline = The ACTIONS and WORDS. -Heb. 12:5
3. The motive in discipline = To express LOVE. -Heb. 12:6-9
4. The goal of discipline = To teach OBEDIENCE or SUBMISSION. -Heb. 12:9
5. The result of discipline = Short term PAIN and long term GAIN. -Heb. 12:10,11

Two key biblical concepts

1) Actions: Consistent consequences

Seven steps to discipline:

1. Clear WARNING.
2. Establish responsibility.
3. Avoid EMBARASSMENT.
4. Communicate grief.
5. Flick the WRIST.
6. Sincere repentance.
7. Unconditional LOVE.

2) Words: Clear instructions

Four ways to use words to bring about correction:

1. Say “no” FIRMLY.
2. CLEAR WARNING of consequences.
