Applied Generosity
Whether you are just launching your journey in generosity or are a seasoned giver with decades of experience, we want to take you to frontiers of the generous life that you’ve never seen before. There are numerous books, podcasts, and resources available for those who have yet to take the plunge into generosity. This podcast is for those who are already on the path. We’ve spent over 200 hours with some of the world’s most experienced givers and deepest thinkers in nearly every realm of generosity. This has included pastors, financial advisors, radically generous givers, influential authors, professional speakers, entrepreneurs, philanthropy consultants, CEOs, impact investors, and nonprofit leaders. We’ve built on their experience to chart out just how far the generous life can go in every direction. In this podcast, we’ll explore the 7 major dimensions of generosity, including: Motivation: What fuels your desire to give? Domain: What target areas form the focus of your giving? Intervention: How do you engage with your giving domains? Allocation: How much do you give and keep? Flow: How and when do your resources flow to others? Investing: How does generosity affect the resources you keep? Mobilization: How do you encourage generosity in those around you? We hope this journey opens up entirely new worlds for you to explore.

How do we encourage generosity in the people closest to us, beginning right inside our own homes?
In this episode, we turn to the first two spheres of mobilization—companion and children—and explore how generosity grows most naturally when it begins with those we know best. We walk through the real, patient work of cultivating unity with a spouse, as well as the joy and responsibility of forming young hearts to see generosity as part of God’s larger story.
In this episode, we explore:
Why alignment with a spouse transforms generosity from an individual effort into a shared journey.
The CARE pathway—communicate, align, refine, extend—as a practical path toward unity and multiplication in marriage.
How understanding each spouse’s motivations and domains strengthens mutual growth.
The stages of childhood development and how generosity takes shape at each age.
Five core beliefs that lay a lifelong foundation for generosity
As we look at our closest relationships, we’re reminded that generosity grows strongest when nurtured in love, patience, and everyday faithfulness.
