Episode notes

In Week 2 of May's "Faith in Action" theme, Tracie unpacks the difference between living with open hands and living with clenched fists. This episode goes beyond money — generosity is about your time, your kindness, your encouragement, and your willingness to trust God as your provider. If you've ever caught yourself thinking "there's not enough," this message will challenge that lie and replace it with Kingdom truth.

This episode pairs with Week 2 of the May devotional workbook — download it free at fosteringfaithmedia.com/devotions
