I was raised in a home that lived out their faith with generosity. The biblical concept of generosity and stewardship is one that gives meaning and purpose to my daily life. It’s been so fun to pass down this legacy of generosity to my kids and watch them step into this way of life.Today, I have the absolute honor of interviewing Boyd Bailey. Boyd is the President of the National Christian Foundation (NCF) in Georgia. He is also the author of several books, including his latest, The Power of Generosity: Experiencing God’s Amazing Abundance - How to Change the World Through Acts of Kindness.My favorite part is when he shares a GREAT idea. He gives his grandkids money at Thanksgiving and they come back together at Christmas to talk about what they did with the money and time. What a fantastic tradition! I am 100% doing this.Enjoy!Chapters:(00:00) Introduction and Personal Connection(02:00) Boyd's Current Endeavors and Family Involvement(04:06) Understanding Stewardship and Generosity(10:03) Practical Generosity in Family Life(18:03) Hearing from God and Spiritual Growth(22:01) Benefits of Generosity in Relationships(24:58) The Impact of Generosity on Family Dynamics(29:07) The Power of Generosity Book OverviewMY VIRTUAL MENTOR GUIDE (INTIMACY WITH GOD)Scripture to memorize:Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
