Throughout this series, we’ve camped on the idea that generosity not only benefits those to whom we give, but also us as well. This is great motivation for us to look practically at how we can take steps to be more generous givers.

What if the key to receiving everything you desire is... giving away? The thing that keeps us from experiencing this is most commonly, fear. In this week's podcast, we sit down to hear the real life story of Scott and Brenda Wade, who went from their own "rock bottom" to leading a Money Matters Group at Northpoint.

#Northpoint #Overtime #ParadoxOfGenerosity

On some level, we all struggle with fears. But our fears that are phobias can keep us from experiencing the fullness of life. If we have a phobia of being generous, science tells us that we will miss out on things such as happiness, physical health, purpose in life, avoidance of depression, personal growth, and a growing faith. Is it possibly to allay our fears so that we can live an abundant and generous life?

After kicking off this series called the Paradox of Generosity, the question remains, how does this impact our every day life? The amazing thing is, whether big or small, generosity has the greatest impact on the one being generous! Buck shares more insights from the research that we didn't have time for on Sunday, how to navigate big generosity decisions, and what generosity looks like on a daily basis.

#Northpoint #Overtime #ParadoxOfGenerosity

So often we think of generosity in terms of what we are giving away. The idea that generosity gives us something seems incredibly hard to believe. But this is the paradox of generosity — the more we give away, the more we gain all sorts of benefits.
