In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we discuss the importance of stewardship and generosity in churches with guests Danny Stokes and DeWayne McNally. We explore how engagement in giving reflects the spiritual health of a congregation, the significance of understanding different generational motivations for giving, and the role of data in guiding church leaders. You'll also learn the importance of effective communication, pastoral care for lapsed givers, and the development of high-capacity givers as leaders within the church. Ultimately, this conversation will help you transition from a fundraising approach to a discipleship-based approach in church giving.
