Podcasts about Generous

The holidays are supposed to be "the most generous time of the year,"… …but for ambitious professionals, they often feel rushed, performative, and exhausting. Let's get real about why even generous people struggle during December. I have four simple shifts I make now to build authentic generosity into my life and work all year. These things weren't apart of my routines throughout the year until recently and they've helped me be more intentional during the holidays. Stick around for a special invite to the new Feeling Generous email course (pre-launch now, starts Jan 6). Have a generous rest of your year.

Fewer Canadians are donating and volunteering. The economy, the pandemic, age are all factors -- but longtime leaders in the charitable sector say we've also lost some shared values. We speak with a lifelong volunteer about why she volunteers and what it means to them. We also talk to Megan Conway from Volunteer Canada and Bruce MacDonald from Imagine Canada about why Canadians have less to give, how we can start to bring back values of service and participation -- and what happens to our communities if we can't.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1415"Generous is not an action. Generous is a character quality. And like integrity, it's a character quality that you choose. You're not born with it. You have to say, I am a generous person." - Dave RamseyDave Ramsey calls his 26-year-old self an "arrogant little twerp," and he means it. With 24 years of real estate experience and a college degree backing him, he genuinely believed the rules didn't apply to him. The debt that crushed other people? He was too smart for that. The pride before the fall? That was for regular folks. He would have been the guy trashing himself today, convinced that slow wealth building was for people who just didn't get it. Then his nothing-down real estate empire collapsed, and the guy who thought he was untouchable learned the hardest lesson of his life. What makes this conversation so gripping is watching Dave recognize exactly who he was, that person you feel like you need to shower after being around, the one so focused on me, me, me, me, me that he couldn't see the cliff ahead.But here's what shifted everything. Dave made a decision that generosity wasn't going to be about actions anymore. It was going to be his character, like integrity, something he chose to become rather than something he occasionally did. He started leaving outlandish tips, picking up bills for people in military fatigues, opening doors, tithing 10% to his church. Not because he had to, but because generous people are highly attractive, seldom depressed, and operate from abundance instead of scarcity. When you're drowning in financial stress, you become a navel gazer, turning inward, obsessing over protecting what little you have. Dave's saying the way out isn't to grip tighter. It's to open your hand and choose to be someone different, regardless of what's in your bank account. That decision to shift from selfish to selfless changes how you show up, how people experience you, and ultimately, how wealth flows into your life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada started with a viral grandmother who refused to buy Christmas presents for her grandchildren, choosing instead to invest money for their future. That theme carried into the workplace, where YouTuber Cleetus McFarland surprised his 20 employees with quirky Christmas bonuses, $3,000 mini Jeep-style go-karts, earning praise for creativity and raising the question of whether a memorable gift beats cash. We ended on a more serious note in South Korea, where professors were fined for taking exams on behalf of students to keep a struggling department alive, highlighting how pressure, desperation and good intentionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bob Flynn has written a book — titled “Tork's Hill & Mead's Pond” — about two Voorheesville men who used their private property to create what he terms “winter wonderlands” where he and his friends could gather. Flynn's book captures an earlier time when kids played outside — even in cold winters — and when there was a sense of community, a sense of place, and a sense of trust.

Generosity isn't a financial category or a religious obligation—it's a heart posture that shapes who we become. Today, Anthony and JT argue why the act of giving is not only transformational, but necessary for the heart of a man. Wise generosity keeps us relational, hopeful, free from bitterness, and awake to the humanity around us. Drawing from universal truths that have biblical foundations, today's conversation reminds us that a bountiful eye forms a strong heart, a righteous inner life, and a good name.LEARN MORE:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What is at the heart of the tenth commandment? Deuteronomy 24:17–26:15 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these forty verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the heart is the heart of the tenth commandment. The devotional presents a comprehensive exposition of the Tenth Commandment's call to contentment, gratitude, and justice, rooted in Israel's identity as redeemed slaves and sustained by God's covenant faithfulness. Central to this teaching is the recurring call to care for the vulnerable—strangers, widows, and fatherless—while maintaining integrity in justice, honesty, and personal conduct, all reflecting a heart that esteems others as made in God's image. The law's applications—from refusing to exploit laborers and maintaining honest weights to preserving dignity in punishment and honoring marital duty—reveal that true generosity flows from a transformed heart that trusts God's provision and rejects covetousness. Gratitude and generosity are not mere duties but expressions of identity and worship, pointing forward to Christ's self-emptying love. Ultimately, the law reveals that holiness is not fragmented but holistic, demanding a life of thankfulness that mirrors God's character.

Advent // Love John 3:16-17 (NIV)“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” Love That Was Given for The Liberty of The Human Heart. What A Gift That Comes with God's Love!! … No Condemnation John 3:18-22 (ESV)“…But whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” But We Weren't Designed to Live in Darkness Love is The Longing of The Human Heart Of every individual…We are created first and foremost to know the love of God…But mankind has chosen differently from God's desire and design… John 1:11-12 (NIV)“He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 3:16 (NIV)“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” We see this about God's love…SO LOVED - His love is INTENSEHE GAVE - His love is GENEROUSHIS ONE AND ONLY SON - His love is INTENTIONALWHOSOEVER - His love is INCLUSIVEWOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE - His love is GRACIOUS His love is Intense, Generous, Intentional, Inclusive, and Gracious  1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NLT)“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” Ephesians 5:1-2, 8-9 (NLT)“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us…For once, you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So, live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.”  This Christmas, May We Again Experience The: Intense… Generous… Intentional… Inclusive… And Gracious… Love of God May We Love as We Have Been LovedMay The Light of Love Illuminate Our Hearts and Shape the Way We Live May We Live and Love with IntentionalityMay Our Lives Be the Light in a Darkening World, The Warmth of a Fire in a World That Grows Colder…May We Neither Live nor Love in Vain…

I will be taking a brief break until January, and in the meantime, I encourage you to reflect on the role of generosity within your own holiday traditions.As I consider the myriad of holidays during this season, I am reminded of the universal themes of generosity and connection that they all share. Yet, in the flurry of holiday preparations, it's easy to overlook the simple but profound gift of giving that is at the heart of each celebration.As we move through this season, I invite you to reflect on this question:How will you show generosity to yourself during this busy season, so you can pour from a full cup of love and kindness to others?Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!What do you think?

The Christmas carols we sing connect us to generations of families and individuals who have celebrated the birth of Christ for over two thousand years. Join Horizon us as we reflect on the joy of the season through the traditions of Scripture readings and carol singing.

12/21/25 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. — Psalm 19:1–4a NLT The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. — John 1:5 NLT Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That's how many descendants you will have!” — Genesis 15:5 NLT The light [that] shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it — John 1:5 NLT “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. — John 3:16 NLT For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given…[who is] Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all… — Isaiah 9:6a & 1 Timothy 2:5b–6 NKJV

This week, we're celebrating the holidays by looking beyond, into global stories that shape the season. First, we talk with Hetty Lui McKinnon about her new book, Linger: Salads, Sweets and Stories to Savor, and what the holidays look like in Australia, where Christmas is hot and the seafood markets buzz at midnight. Hetty reflects on the vegetable forward meals that defined her Chinese Australian upbringing and leaves us with her recipe for Coronation Cauliflower and Chickpeas. Then, we turn to writer Yasmin Khan for a deeper look at Yalda Night, the Persian winter solstice celebration that reminds us of the return of the sun, after the longest night of the year. Her latest cookbook, Sabzi: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes, explores vibrant vegetarian cooking rooted in Persian culture. Yasmin shares how Yalda brings people together through poetry, pomegranates, and seasonal comforts, and leaves us with her recipe for Eggplant Fesenjan.Broadcast dates for this episode: December 19, 2025 (originally aired)Subscribe to @TheSplendidTable on YouTube for full podcast episodes and full-length video interviews!Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible.

A Generous Dinner Party Jesus tells this story to remind us what a true Christian approach to generosity and hospitality looks like.  How might you and I practice this in our own lives? Luke 14:15-25 (The Message Translation) 15 That triggered a response from one of the guests: "How fortunate the one who gets to eat dinner in God's kingdom!" 16-17 Jesus followed up. "Yes. For there was once a man who threw a great dinner party and invited many. When it was time for dinner, he sent out his servant to the invited guests, saying, 'Come on in; the food's on the table.' 18 "Then they all began to beg off, one after another making excuses. The first said, 'I bought a piece of property and need to look it over. Send my regrets.' 19 "Another said, 'I just bought five teams of oxen, and I really need to check them out. Send my regrets.' 20 "And yet another said, 'I just got married and need to get home to my wife.' 21 "The servant went back and told the master what had happened. He was outraged and told the servant, 'Quickly, get out into the city streets and alleys. Collect all who look like they need a square meal, all the misfits and homeless and down-and-out you can lay your hands on, and bring them here.' 22 "The servant reported back, 'Master, I did what you commanded—and there's still room.' 23-24 "The master said, 'Then go to the country roads. Whoever you find, drag them in. I want my house full! Let me tell you, not one of those originally invited is going to get so much as a bite at my dinner party.'"

Across faiths, across time, across societies, the notion of generosity is valued and upheld. Even secular societies recognize that somehow, giving often leads to abundance. So not only during the holiday season, but every day of our lives, let us instill the practice of generosity so that both we and our beneficiaries may thrive. Giving is not just the obligation of the wealthy, noble, or elite; it is a practice of and for all people, especially men like us.LEARN MORE:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At Christmas we celebrate the wondrous birth of Christ, but less noted is the divine timing of His arrival on Earth. Jesus was born at the perfect moment, fulfilling God's plan to adopt us into His family. In Galatians, the Apostle Paul encouraged his readers to cast off the law and live fully as God's heirs, reflecting the generous fruit of their freedom and inheritance. It's an apt reminder for us today, particularly at Christmas, to know that God has given us the gift of everlasting salvation through Christ. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for CHRISTMAS HEIRS, a verse-by-verse study of Galatians.

Generosity is amplified when it is practiced together in community. Communities of generosity are essential for our individual and collective wellbeing.

Building workplace culture is hard but I have an easy way to understand it. Most companies will try to find their culture by displaying a vision and values that's very noble. But that doesn't make culture. It's the people. Hold up! It's not just the people. You can't hire a bunch of nice guys and expect their to be a nice culture - or anything you desire. Culture is built and not found. You need a process and strategy. This is why I came up with the "case" for generous workplace culture. I love a good acronym, so I had to drop this one for you. Have a generous rest of your week.

Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges.

Fr. Mike comments on the growing divide between Judaism and Christianity that Paul experiences on mission in Acts 21. In 2 Corinthians, Fr. Mike explains the difference between Godly grief that brings us to repentance, and worldly grief that leads us to destruction. We also learn about the importance of imitating the generosity of Christ. Today's readings are Acts 21, 2 Corinthians 6-8, and Proverbs 29:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The topic of generosity is found all throughout the Bible. What makes Christian generosity different? How is giving connected to purpose and mission?
