Proverbs 11:25 Deep Dive // You Are Free to Give


Listen Later

"Jesus, in his generosity, has set us free from stinginess, from calculating returns, from worrying whether there'll be enough. We are free to be generous on every occasion with what he has given us freely, knowing that our generosity results in thanksgiving and praise to God."

— Natalie Abbott

Today's episode: Join Dwell Differently co-founder, Natalie Abbott, as she helps us understand biblical generosity and refreshment. She unpacks the strange math of generosity—where giving our stuff away results in more blessing. She also explains the counter-intuitive math of greed, where more is never enough. She speaks with hope about loving people who don't love us back. And she flips the script at the end, encouraging those of us who don't have anything in our tanks to let God and his people refresh us. 

This month's memory verse: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” — Proverbs 11:25
