Episode 126: Generosity without Gimmicks

As we step into 2026, Drew and Tim tackle a timely and necessary conversation about generosity—cutting through gimmicks, manipulation, and prosperity hype to get back to the heart of biblical giving. This episode confronts the uncomfortable reality that money can quietly become an idol, even in the church, when it replaces trust in Jesus. From viral pastors promising instant wealth to the cultural craving for quick fixes, the hosts unpack why these messages resonate and why Scripture consistently calls us to something deeper: faithfulness, surrender, and obedience over time.

This conversation reframes generosity as a discipleship issue, not a fundraising tactic. Drawing from personal stories, fasting, prayer, and year-end sacrifice, Drew and Tim emphasize that God isn’t after our money—He’s after our hearts. When revival truly takes hold, generosity doesn’t need to be pressured; it flows naturally. As LifePoint looks ahead to what God has appointed for this next season, this episode invites every listener to ask a simple but challenging question: What would generosity look like if Jesus was truly enough?
