What makes a gift truly rich? In this episode of The Ordered Life Podcast, Sean Gregory (Portfolio Manager), and AJ Sanson (Associate Investment Advisor) explore the virtue of liberality, a way of giving that brings freedom, balance, and purpose to your finances and your life.

Drawing from the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, the hosts highlight how liberality is more than generosity:

It’s accessible to everyone, no matter your income.

It emphasizes frequency over amount. The habit of giving shapes us more than the size of a single gift.

It reframes money as capital for the good, not just savings to hoard.

It distinguishes true liberality from excess (prodigality) and deficiency (miserliness).

It offers practical lessons for parenting, including teaching kids delayed gratification and the value of hard work.

You’ll also hear stories, wrestling metaphors, and reflections on how suffering with purpose becomes love itself.

If you’ve ever asked yourself how to give wisely, raise financially grounded kids, or balance ambition with generosity, this conversation will help you practice order over excess in daily life.

Question for listeners: What’s one small step you can take this week to make your giving more intentional?
