What are your core values? What are you passionate about? Where do those overlap and how can you give in that area?

In this episode, Jeff, Alisa, and Leigh Ann discuss: 

• Working with your spouse and growing in generosity together.
• Turning to the Lord in times of pruning.
• Learning in community and learning to listen to God.
• Spontaneous and purposeful giving.
• Equipping women to manage their own wealth and giving.

Key Takeaways: 

• Pray with your spouse to be in His will.
• God is not constrained by the spreadsheets we create.
• Be creative in your giving. Learn and grow with your community, match the giving your kids are doing, and find your joy in it.
• Get outside your comfort zone, interact with those who are being blessed by God, and the work you’re doing.
• Find clarity around what you’re passionate about. You cannot save the world alone. Sometimes you have to say no to something good for a later yes to something greater.
   

"Find other women who are like-minded. There’s something different about surrounding yourself with the right people." —  Leigh Ann Horton
