Prosperity Gospel or Poverty Gospel? | Generosity in The Bible Explained

Episode 6 is about generosity. Not prosperity gospel, not poverty gospel, but what we may or may not be calling the generosity gospel. We talk about why Christians are called to live open-handed, how generosity is something we can actually grow in, and why stinginess is usually a heart issue before it is a money issue. John shares the story of getting lovingly called out for being stingy, Bex and Destiny talk about growing up around generous people, and somewhere in there we get into Dave Ramsey, The Hawaiian Pidgin Bible and more! Scripture passages covered in this episode include Acts and the early church sharing what they had, Matthew 10 “freely you have received; freely give,” 1 John 3:17 and compassion for people in need, Philippians 4:11-13 and learning contentment whether you’re up or down bad, 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 and cheerful giving, the widow’s mite, and Luke 18 with the rich young ruler. Basically, this episode is about money, sacrifice, friendship, stewardship, open hands, and learning to trust that everything we have came from the Lord anyway.
