Key Takeaways
1) Jesus talked about money a lot. It’s time for us to do so too. Every leader needs to do a deep dive into their soul to discover why they have a fear of approaching this important topic.
2) Should pastors and leaders know what the members of their church give? Chris gives a compelling argument for the value of knowing the consistency of the membership’s giving.
3) The topic of stewardship and giving has to become a priority for your ministry as we move forward. Many of the younger generations coming up have not been taught about stewardship and generosity. Today’s church leaders must instruct them from the scriptures on how to develop a lifestyle of generosity.
4) Chris lays out a way to keep stewardship/generosity at the forefront of our ministry focus. The four steps include: 1 – Preach, 2 – Teach, 3 – Celebrate & 4 – Model.
