This is the third part in our conversation about generosity. In this episode we discuss practical ways we can help ourselves become people who are more generous. We’ll also explore some of the instructions God gave to the children of Israel with regards to how they should share their wealth and provide for those around them.

We have a couple of guest friends of ours joining in the conversation to hopefully give us a different perspective.

In order for us to better understand how God expects us to be generous, we go back to the Garden of Eden to see what economic system he was attempting to put in place from the begginning and how we have currpted that. We explore the mindset that is required to live out this ideal as we prepare for the next stage in the conversation, where we explore practical ways to live out this ideal.

In this episode, we introduce a new series on Truthfulness and explore how this often overlooked ideal is a fundamental building block for almost everything we do. Yet ironically, lying appears to be an unavoidable element of what it means to be human.  

In this, the first of a three part conversation, we set the scene, exploring what a lie is, why people lie and the extent to which lying seems to be innate to every human being. This sets up future conversations where we'll discus what Jesus taught on this topic and why living truthfully seemed to be so important to him and then we round up the conversation discssing the practicality of actually living up to this ideal.
