Drew Formsma, CMO of I Like Giving and author of Everyday Generosity, is a prominent voice for generosity among Gen Z. Drew was raised in a home where the generous heart was encouraged and modeled. By his late teens, he had already become a seasoned speaker on generosity platforms.   Drew developed a passion to use his unique perspective on generosity to empower his generation to give freely and give with a purpose. As the CMO of I Like Giving, Drew is particularly involved in the more recent introductions of Generous Family and Generous Classroom, including the Generous Kids Book Club, fostering the next generation of givers through children's books and curriculum for Chirstian schools.   Major Topics Include: Drew's story of calling as a young teen Seven expressions of generosity Being aware of daily opportunities to be generous Generosity as evangelism The innovation and creativity of Gen Z The story of I Like Giving Reaching children with the heart of generosity  Advice for parents to cultivate a generous environment at home Inspiring stories of everyday generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Generosity begins in the mind. It's choosing to think well of others, to assume the best, and focus on who we can be a blessing to.” “Words have the power to bring life and death, to build or to break. But I think if we can choose to uplift, encourage, and inspire others with our words, there could be something powerful at hand.” “You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.” “Generosity is the love language of Jesus.” “Generosity is love with boots on.” “Generous people trust God to provide.” “Live the kind of lifestyle that's focused on others.” “If you can experience the love of Jesus, you will overflow with generosity.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW I Like Giving Generous Classroom Generous Family IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 1 Corinthians 13:3 | Nothing without Love    If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.   John 3:16 | God's Love   “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.   Ephesians 3:17-19 | Love Beyond Knowledge   so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.   Matthew 6:21 | Heart and Treasure   For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

What happens when a church starts strong but loses sight of what truly matters? The early church in Ephesus had an incredible legacy—planted by the Apostle Paul, led by Timothy, and even home to the Apostle John and Mary. But despite their theological strength, Jesus had a serious warning for them: they had lost their first love.    In this conversation, Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton, along with Pastor Carlos Erazo, dive into the powerful message behind the letter to the Ephesians in Revelation 2. They explore how distraction, culture, and even good theology can become barriers to genuine love for Christ. Plus, hear about Pastor Josh's eye-opening journey through the ancient ruins of Ephesus, the surprising history behind the Jesus fish symbol, and what it all means for believers today. If you've ever felt like your faith has lost its fire, this conversation is for you!

Moses stood before a new generation of Israelites, ready to lead them into the Promised Land, and reminded them of a defining moment in their history—God's covenant at Mount Horeb. As he recounted the Ten Commandments, Moses emphasized their enduring significance. In today's message, Dr. John explores the first four commandments, which focus on loving God. These timeless truths challenge us to honor God exclusively and avoid any distortion of His nature. Discover how these commands deepen our understanding of faith, obedience, and worship.Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation: We begin a new series on Deuteronomy 5-11 entitled, "Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation." Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses reminded them of God's Covenant and instructed them to adhere to God's Law, which is absolute and perfect. The blessings of the land would only be fulfilled when Israel lived according to God's Word. The law does not supress life's joy; it releases it. It's a lesson for us today.

When you meet an old friend who's walked away from their faith, it hits hard. I had that happen recently with a buddy who was once all in for Jesus. It's never a sudden change, right? More like a slow fade that you don't even see happening. It's a wake-up call for all of us. Staying true to our faith journey requires constant effort and mindfulness.Hebrews 12:1 from the New Living Translation says it well: "Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up, and let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us."It's about staying vigilant and running our race with intention.

This message highlights how God favors those who obey His Word, remember His Greatness, and pour their lives into His work. It also explores the importance of willingness in serving the Lord, as seen in the example of David and the people who gave sacrificially for the Temple. Their willingness stemmed from a deep love for God, reminding us that serving the Lord requires both action and affection for His house.

Discussion Questions Sermon Overview: Jesus is pleased when we respond to his worth with extravagant love.1. Those who recognize Jesus' worth respond with extravagant love. (vv. 1-3, 10-11)2. Jesus is pleased by our responsive love. (vv. 4-7)3. Jesus' worth is particularly seen in his death out of love for us. (vv. 8-9)Digging Deeper:    Read Mark 14:1-11  1. Mark (the author of this gospel), frequently “sandwiches” one story into the middle of another (often referred to as a “Markan sandwich”). We see that here in 14:1-11 (vv. 1-2 and vv. 10-11 are “the bread”, vv. 3-9 are “the meat”). What are some of the contrasts this “sandwich” helps us see? 2. Mark goes out of his way to make sure we, his readers, see the extravagant nature of the woman's gift. What are some of the details he includes that help us see this? Why do you think Mark is so determined to help us see this? What does the value of the gift communicate about the worth of the one to whom it is given? 3. Those gathered around the table are scandalized by what in their eyes is the woman's “wastefulness.” (v. 4).  What accounts for this contrast in perspectives (between those grumbling about this “waste” and the woman)? What did the woman see that the others did not? 4. In order to respond (like the woman) to Jesus' worth with extravagant acts of love, we must first recognize his worth.  How does that happen? Are there things we can do to see Jesus' worth more clearly?     5. What gets in the way of you recognizing the worth of Jesus? (This could be other things you're drawn to more than Jesus, distractions, etc).6. While we don't have the opportunity to express a love for Jesus the exact same way the woman did, there are ways we can be extravagant in our outpouring of love for Christ. What are some examples of “extravagant love” for Jesus you have witnessed?  What might it look like for you to display extravagant love for your Savior?7. Why is it crucial that we distinguish between displays of love to Jesus because he loved us, and displays of love to Jesus so that he will love us?  What are some of the disastrous consequences that can result from failing to get this distinction right? 8. Because Jesus loved his people, he died for them (vv. 8-9), showing his worth. What are some ways we can seek to be regularly mindful of and grateful for Jesus' loving sacrifice for us?9. A life of extravagant love for Jesus is a life that will not look “normal”; it will be markedly different from the lives of those around us.  How might our acts of love for Christ (e.g. - extravagant uses of our time, energy, money) point those who don't know Jesus in our lives to the worth of Christ? Prayer

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body, refocus your mind, and to re-imagine and re-narrate your life to a truer reality. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Our summer schedule has begun. Look for new once-per-week episodes each Tuesday during the summer. If your podcast app is set to skip the silent sections, disable that in your podcast app for this podcast. Often anxiety and tension rise in our life when our focus gets fragmented and we feel like our lives are getting chaotic and important things are being threatened in some way. In our last episode we looked at what Moses tells the people of Israel. And I think it's a great passage to meditate on because I think it helps us defragment our priorities and helps us put our focus in the right place. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (NIV)  “Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life….” All these verbs — love, listen, hold fast — describe Jesus's relationship with the Father. That you may love the LORD your God. Real Christian faith – biblical faith – is not as much about believing something as it is about believing Someone. A focus on Someone more than something. A relationship. We constantly have to remind ourselves to keep our relationship with God as our focus in everything. To love the LORD, like all biblical “love,” is not primarily an emotion we should try to muster up toward God as much as a choice of devotion to him as our God. So choosing love is like choosing life. “I choose to love God today.” To be devoted to God. “I am a lover of God.” Emotion comes with time. But devotion is the choice.  So take a deep breath and speak these words to yourself: “I want the LORD to be my God. I choose to surrender my life right now, in this moment, to God who is worthy of my life and worthy of my trust and worthy of my devotion.” …  Who can you share this podcast with?
