For over 1500 years, the church at large has seen opportunities for reflection and wonder in the story of Jesus through seasons of the year. These seasons typically start with Advent and end after Pentecost with ordinary time. Sometimes the church calendar can be seen as legalistic or ritualistic, but joining with the overall body of believers for over a thousand years in remembrance of Jesus can be a beautiful exercise. While we won’t follow the other parts of the calendar for this coming year, Advent is a time of beauty and reflection as we await the coming of Christ. For 400 years, the people of Israel waited after the last words of the prophets for the coming of the Messiah. Advent is a season of desperation coming to fruition through a season of hope as Christ is made known as Emmanuel, God with Us.

As we journey through this guide, we will be taking time to understand our Generosity Type Profile. While these types won’t encapsulate everything about you, we hope they can help shed light on how God has wired you to be generous with your time, talent, and treasure. Each week, you can take a look at the type track in order to see opportunities for growth, challenges for growth, and disciplines to help you embrace generosity more fully. Take a few minutes to take the assessment here and then read about each of the types in the profile section. Each week, we will then provide an additional resource to engage with the work of generosity in our hearts and minds.
