What if the “tithe” you were taught isn’t what the Bible meant at all?
In this episode, we walk straight into the tension: Torah tithes, Malachi 3, Jesus and the widow’s mite, and the modern church habit of turning Scripture into a funding mechanism. We’ll talk about how coercion hides in spiritual language, why Paul’s two-rights framework dismantles both greed and cynicism, and how Hebrews reframes the entire sacrificial economy people keep trying to rebuild with money.
This isn’t a call to stinginess. It’s a call to clean giving—open-handed, direct, human, and unafraid. The kind of generosity you can feel in your bones because you’re looking someone in the eyes when you give.
