The Journey from Acting to Generosity
A professional actor for 15 years, Richard Garnett experienced a significant turning point in his life when he sought a career change that would provide him with financial stability and allow for more involvement with his family. This led him into financial services, where he earned a substantial income, which contrasted sharply with his previous life as an actor. Initially, he adhered to the principle of giving 10% to his local church while using the remaining funds to enhance his own lifestyle. Over time, however, he experienced a profound realization about the pitfalls of selfishness and questioned whether living merely for personal gains aligned with his faith.
