Episode notes
Money Directs The Heart
- Where your money goes, your heart follows, so pre-decide what you want to care about and send resources there.
- Aaron Brockett argues tithing trains the heart and is central to discipleship, not just finance management.
Return A True Tithe
- Return a tithe by giving 10% of your income back to God as an act of stewardship rather than treating it as a donation.
- Aaron Brockett frames tithing as returning what God entrusted you and inviting God into your checkbook.
OT Giving Was More Complex
- Old Testament giving often averaged around 30% through multiple tithes and offerings, not a single 10% only.
- Aaron Brockett explains historical tithes, first fruits, and offerings to clarify giving categories.
