Podcasts about Tithing

In this episode of Lead Time, Tim Ahlman and Jack Kalleberg sit down with Philip Meinzen, a longtime LCMS educator and creator of The Grace Formula, for a powerful conversation about stewardship, generosity, tithing, debt, vocation, and the mission of the local church.Philip argues that the church has often allowed the culture to disciple Christians in money, resources, debt, and scarcity — while Scripture gives us a much richer vision of life under grace. The question is not, “How much does the church need?” The better question is, “What does God's grace mean to us, and how does it shape the way we live?”Learn more about Philip's work at https://graceflows.orgSupport the show⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Care about the future of the LCMS?Join the LCMS Current!

In today's episode, I share my own story of how I became a faithful tither. God showed up when I was in my worst financial position in my adult life. 

Join us this week for the third message in our series, "Money with Meaning," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

This service includes a number of baptisms, communion, membership and tithing. Pastor read a Scripture passage and explained each event. A morning of celebrataion!

On this week's episode of Inklings we go over the talk by Jorge T. Becerra: Tithing—Putting God First

In this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos suggests that the more mature spouse should yield to the other to avoid causing them to violate their conscience. He also discusses gender differences in conflict, such as integrated versus compartmentalized thinking. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

Chad Coe, Founder of Coe Financial Group, joins Sales POP! to share his concept of people tithing — a giver-first sales approach that builds trust quickly, sustains persistent outreach without burning bridges, and turns generosity into long-term client relationships.

In this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos discusses why people find it hard to believe that tithing is not part of our new covenant and acknowledges that tithing can be a comfortable rule for those raised in the tradition of tithing. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

“Abundance isn't God's provision for me to live in luxury; it's His provision for me to help others live.” That line from Randy Alcorn captures the heart behind a financial finish line. When God entrusts us with more, the question is not simply, “How much can I keep?” but “How much can I use for His purposes?” Cody Hobelman, Certified Financial Planner and Certified Kingdom Advisor, joined the show today to share how that question became deeply personal in his own life. Along with his brother Keelan, Cody contributed to FaithFi's new Field Guide, How Much Money Is Enough? But before he taught others how to set a financial finish line, he had to wrestle with it in his own context. The Early Pull of Accumulation Early in his career, Cody's view of money was much like that of many people. He wanted a large income, growing wealth, and the kinds of opportunities that seemed to promise happiness and success—perhaps vacation homes, financial freedom, and a comfortable lifestyle. Those goals were not unusual. Many people begin their careers with an eye toward building, earning, and accumulating. But over time, Cody began to sense that something was missing. After college, he returned to church and began reading Scripture for himself. What stood out to him was how often Jesus spoke about money. Those passages began to reshape the way he viewed his role in managing what God had entrusted to him. When Obedience Begins to Reshape the Heart At the end of 2016, Cody's church went through a series on managing money biblically. At the conclusion, the congregation was invited to commit to tithing in the coming year. After prayer and conversation with his wife, Steph, Cody decided to begin giving 10% of his income to the church in 2017. That step mattered. It was his first move into intentional giving. He began to see that not every dollar he earned had to serve his own lifestyle. God gives resources with purpose, and giving helped Cody begin to discover that purpose. But as he later reflected, his generosity at that stage still felt like “checking the box.” He was giving, but accumulation remained the deeper goal. Tithing became a generous layer atop a life still largely centered on earning, comparing, and building more. He realized he was trying to serve both God and money. The Question That Changed Everything In 2020, Cody's brother Keelan invited him to consider a simple but life-altering question: “How much is enough?” In other words, if God provided more income over the course of his career—or even in a single year—how would Cody know how much was enough to spend on his own lifestyle? And how could he create margin so that additional resources could be used for God's purposes? At first, Cody resisted the conversation. But he could not escape the realization that he was still at the center of his financial world. So he and Steph accepted the challenge. They chose a number that represented a reasonable level of lifestyle spending for a season. That number became their first financial finish line. A financial finish line is a cap on lifestyle spending. Once that line is set, anything beyond it can be directed toward generosity, debt reduction, ministry, or other God-honoring purposes. A Finish Line Before the Increase Interestingly, Cody and Steph set their first finish line when their income was still below that number. Steph was in graduate school, Cody was early in his career, and they still had student loans. They were also hoping to buy a home. So the finish line was not immediately restrictive. It was more future-oriented. But that decision prepared their hearts before additional income arrived. Not long after, Steph graduated and began working full-time. Cody also received a raise. Suddenly, the finish line was no longer theoretical—it was practical. Because they had done the hard work of prayer, conversation, and planning before the increase in income, they already knew what to do. Their finish line helped them avoid simply expanding their lifestyle to match their income. Paying Down Debt to Free Up Generosity At the time, Cody and Steph still had debt. But their growing vision for generosity changed the way they saw it. Rather than viewing debt simply as a financial inconvenience, they began to see it as an obstacle to giving as they wanted to. So even within their finish line, they chose to live on less than they could have in order to prioritize paying down debt. The goal was not merely to become debt-free for their own comfort. It was to remove barriers that limited their ability to participate in what God was doing. From Scorecard to Stewardship Setting a financial finish line changed Cody and Steph's day-to-day life. For the first time, Cody said he truly experienced contentment. He could honestly say, “We have enough.” That contentment reshaped their conversations about money. Instead of asking only what they could afford for themselves, they began asking what God might be inviting them to do for others. They also created a separate “kingdom account,” moving money into a dedicated giving account. Eventually, they used a donor-advised fund as well. That separation clarified the purpose of the money and helped guard against the temptation to use it for their own lifestyle. Money became a tool, not a scorecard. Before setting a finish line, even giving could feel like something to measure or compare. Afterward, generosity became more about obedience, surrender, and availability. Living With God, Not Merely For God Looking back, Cody says the finish line helped him trust God more deeply. It changed the way he viewed work, provision, and the future. Rather than constantly asking, “Will there be enough?” he began asking, “What would God have us do right now?” That shift moved generosity from a financial category into a way of life. It became part of listening to God, responding to Scripture, and attending to the needs around him. How to Take the First Step For someone who feels drawn to the idea of a finish line yet intimidated by it, Cody offers simple encouragement: start with a trial period. You do not have to choose the perfect number. You do not have to answer every “what if” before you begin. Start with three or six months. Choose a reasonable level of spending for your family, your season, and your location. Then see what God reveals as you take the next step. A finish line is not necessarily a one-time decision. It can be revisited and adjusted as life changes. The point is not rigidity—it is intentionality. When we define enough, we are not limiting our lives. We are creating space for greater clarity, contentment, and generosity. God's provision is not merely something to consume. It is something to steward. And when we stop asking only, “How much can I keep?” we become free to ask a far better question: “Lord, how do You want me to use what You've entrusted to me?” FaithFi's new Field Guide, How Much Money Is Enough?, is designed to help you begin that journey and set your own financial finish line.

What Is Tithing?

In this episode, Dudley and Jared explore the growing tension many believers feel with modern church culture, Church Leadership, and the structure of the Mega Church model. Through honest conversation and grounded biblical reflection, they challenge the corporate approach to ministry and revisit what the New Testament church — and the early House Church — was designed to be.Together, they unpack topics like Biblical Eldership, Shepherding, discipleship, and Tithing, while addressing why so many Christian Men are quietly leaving church despite remaining deeply committed to the gospel. Dudley and Jared explain that this isn't Deconstruction — it's hunger — and discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping every believer for ministry, rather than limiting spiritual leadership to a select few.This conversation invites believers to rethink modern church systems through the lens of Scripture, calling the church back toward authentic community, shepherding, and Church Reform rooted in the gospel.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.  Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

Part one was about control. Part two is about the money. Behind the soul-winning and the sermons and the bylaws, the New Testament Christian Churches of America runs a very well-funded business. Tithing is tracked, enforced, and tied to your military paycheck. Fall behind and you go before the general board. Fall further behind and you lose your credentials. So where does the tithing money go? Church CEO Michael Kekel told his congregation they owed $25,000 a year in property taxes on the fellowship hall. But tax records tell a different story. The fellowship hall paid $9.65. The $25,000? That's the bill on a personal house in the name of Kekel's wife.

Tom Logue - May 17th 2026 Jesus is not just part of life—He is the cornerstone holding everything together. In this message from Matthew 21, we continue through our series The King & His Kingdom as Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard owner—a sobering and powerful parable directed at the religious leaders who had rejected God's authority and refused to honor Him with what He entrusted to them. Jesus describes a landowner who plants a vineyard, entrusts it to tenant farmers, and sends servants to collect fruit from it. But instead of honoring the owner, the tenants reject, beat, and kill the servants—and eventually even kill the owner's son. Through this parable, Jesus exposes the failure of the religious leaders of Israel. God entrusted them with His people, His city, and His kingdom, but instead of stewarding those things faithfully, they used them for themselves. They rejected the prophets God sent to call them to repentance, and now they were rejecting the Son Himself. But this message doesn't stop with them—it confronts us too. At the center of this sermon is a deeply practical and challenging truth: we are stewards, not owners. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God—our bodies, our relationships, our time, our finances, our gifts, and even the message of the gospel itself. The question is not whether we have these things, but whether we are stewarding them in a way that honors the One they belong to. This message challenges us to take honest inventory of our lives. Are we stewarding our bodies well? Are our relationships healthy? Are we using our time wisely in light of eternity? Are we serving God with our money, or being mastered by it? And are we faithfully sharing the gospel that has the power to save and transform lives? The sermon also explores the biblical call to generosity and tithing—not as religious obligation alone, but as an act of worship and trust. Ultimately, Jesus is worthy not just of leftovers or percentages, but wholehearted devotion. Like Mary of Bethany breaking the alabaster jar at Jesus' feet, we are invited to become worshippers who “break the bottle” because Jesus gave everything for us. And at the center of it all stands Jesus Himself. Quoting Psalm 118, Jesus reveals that He is the cornerstone rejected by the builders. Remove the cornerstone, and everything falls apart. But when our lives are built upon Him, everything else finds its proper place. This message is an invitation to stop living like owners and begin living like faithful stewards—people who surrender every part of life to Jesus, the true King and cornerstone of it all.

She was born in a cave in Mexico. Today, she has been integral to more than two billion dollars in real estate transactions. But that's not the story she wants told.  In this episode, Emily sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and author Ruth Fernandez for a conversation that will deeply challenge almost everything you've been taught about money, success, and purpose. Ruth unpacks the Biblical principles behind wealth creation, why so many believers stay financially stuck, and how obedience unlocks provision.  This episode goes far deeper than money. Together, Emily and Ruth expose the spiritual roots of fear, laziness, ego, hustle culture, and what it actually means to carry Kingdom wealth as a daughter of God. Whether you're in a season of breaking cycles or building something new, this conversation is your invitation to stop begging for an inheritance that's already yours and start walking in it.

Sunday sermon 5/10/26

Send us Fan Mail“Tithing is fire insurance” might be one of the most repeated lines in Latter-day Saint culture, and also one of the most misunderstood. I'm not interested in a fear-based reading of God that sounds like “pay up or burn.” I want to get honest about what the scriptures actually say, why the language is so intense, and what that phrase is really pointing to: a life that's already aligned with Jesus Christ before the refining day arrives.We start in Doctrine and Covenants 64 and walk through the Second Coming imagery, Babylon as the world, and the idea that sacrifice is a “today” decision. From there, we shift to the heart of the commandment: tithing isn't a financial subscription that purchases protection. It's a faith practice that forces a choice between worldly security and covenant trust. If money represents control, options, and survival, then giving God the first ten percent becomes a powerful spiritual re-ordering.Then we go straight to Malachi 3, where the Lord says “prove me now herewith.” We break down the promises people quote all the time and what they can look like in real life: windows of heaven that include peace, answers, strength, and sometimes direct financial help, plus the promise to “rebuke the devourer” when setbacks threaten to eat your future. We also talk about why obedience increases personal revelation, why temple worthiness is part of the conversation, and how tithing shapes identity through covenant living.I share personal experience and pioneer stories that highlight the same theme: the most valuable blessing of tithing isn't money, it's who you become when you choose God first. If something in you feels stirred, don't ignore it. Listen, share this with someone who's wrestling with trust, and then subscribe, leave a review, and tell me this: what would it look like for you to “test Him” fully?Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

With so many questions swirling in culture, from Israel, to Iran, to AI, to Honor and Tithing and everything in between. We know people have real questions and we want to give you honest answers from a biblical perspective.

We know the conversation on tithing can be awkward. Whether you're experiencing a financially sensitive situation or you just don't trust how that Church as a whole has managed money, we understand.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 310), I explore the highest levels of generosity and the joy of giving as God intends. From Luke 19:20–30 and the story of the unnamed donkey owner to David's lavish gifts in Jerusalem, we see that God blesses those who obey and give with a cheerful, open heart. Tithing anchors our giving, but God calls us beyond the minimum into a life of grace, delight, and freedom. Whether through finances, time, or spirit, surrendering to God's “The Lord has need of it” brings unexpected blessing, joy, and abundant life. Experience the thrill of generosity and learn to live fully in God's grace.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Coming to the Highest Levels of Philanthropy(00:03:05) - Prayer for the Colt(00:05:02) - The Man Who gave the Donkey on Palm Sunday(00:10:24) - The New Ford F-250(00:16:31) - Tithing and Forgiveness(00:21:40) - The Joy of Giving(00:26:47) - Send the Holy Ghost to Your Life(00:31:19) - The Joy of Tithing(00:35:24) - A Diamond Ring Offering(00:40:42) - A million-dollar gift to SEIU(00:45:16) - How Much Money Should You Give?(00:49:03) - All God's Blessings for the Church(00:50:47) - The Leader's Notebook

Bill and Roger talk with guest Pastor Jay Roberson about covenant living and why many believers don't know their covenant rights, emphasizing that the Bible is your contract with God and faith is believing God will do it for you. They connect financial struggle and debt to being tied to the world system, describing tithing as something sacred that confirms you're in covenant with God, using Abraham's choice in Genesis 14 between the king of Sodom's "gimme" and Melchizedek's blessing with bread and wine. Jay links Satan's fall in Ezekiel 28 to the love of money and accumulating "stuff," encouraging you to give and seed what you have. He shares a testimony of giving an entire $11,000 offering to Charles Capps, which later contributed to building a paid-for 42,000-square-foot facility and influenced the spread of cowboy churches through Glen Smith. The episode ends with an invitation for you to receive Jesus as Savior, healer, and provider, plus a call to partner with the ministry at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Tithe Confirms Covenant 00:18 Show Welcome and Setup 01:05 Covenant Promises and Faith 02:33 Escaping the World System 04:00 Abraham's Tithe Choice 05:17 Lucifer and Love of Money 06:53 The Trap of Stuff 09:59 Seeding and Giving Away 11:36 Why Tithing Matters Today 12:49 A Pastor's Offering Testimony 14:17 The 11K Offering 15:49 Radar Bill Miracle 16:25 Seed That Built 17:01 Remembering Glen Smith 18:09 Cowboy Apostle Legacy 19:36 Cowboy Church Explosion 21:09 Power And Wonders 22:21 Salvation Prayer 23:53 Partner With Ministry 26:11 Connect And Subscribe   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Tithing is about order, not amount.

Hey guys! Dives here, and it's Throwback Thursday.Today I'm bringing you highlights from one of my favorite episodes of the Mormon News Roundup—Episode 116, featuring Landon Brophy, cohost of the Mormonish podcast.If you're not already familiar with Landon, you're in for a great discussion. As an ex-Mormon and outspoken critic of the LDS Church, he brings a thoughtful but candid perspective to some of the most controversial topics in Mormonism today.In this highlight reel, we dive into:Church tithing lawsuitsTemple garmentsLDS culture and inbreeding discussionsWard Radio reactionsAnd plenty moreThe original episode runs about an hour, but I've trimmed it down to ~25 minutes of the most engaging, can't-miss moments—so you can jump straight into the good stuff.

In this episode of Extraordinary Living with Bill & Roger, Bill and Roger welcome special guest Pastor Jay Roberson.  This episode focuses on tithing and giving as covenant actions that confirm faith and show God is your source rather than the world system. Jay teaches that God works through covenant, describing an exchange where what is God's becomes yours and what is yours becomes God's, and says tithing is a holy, set-apart practice meant to confirm that covenant. Using Abraham's story in Genesis 14, he explains how Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek confirmed the covenant and positioned Abraham to refuse Sodom's offer, symbolizing freedom from bondage and debt. They contrast "bucket plunking" done from obligation with tithing in faith as worship, discuss building faith when receiving tithes at church, and close with an invitation to receive Christ and connect at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Faith as Evidence 00:28 Show Intro and Guests 01:11 RV Stories and Shoutouts 02:01 Why Tithing Confuses 02:42 Covenant Exchange Principle 03:43 Proof Requires Action 04:49 Abraham Wealth Defined 05:25 Lot Captured and Rescue 07:54 Melchizedek Covenant Signs 10:13 Tithe Confirms Covenant 12:40 World System vs Covenant 13:41 Raised Hand Covenant Oath 14:09 Tithe Confirms Covenant 14:40 Tithe Is Holy 16:00 Obligation Versus Faith 16:54 Worshipful Tithe Practice 17:36 Hope Faith And Provision 19:32 Genesis Covenant Explained 21:49 Grace Abounds Promise 23:24 Stuff Mindset Shift 24:31 Big Tithe Testimony 26:22 Closing And Salvation Prayer 28:00 Next Steps And Resources   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In 2018, during a visit to Nairobi, Kenya, President Russell M. Nelson encouraged African members to pay tithing, reinforcing it as a divine command that breaks cycles of poverty, even in impoverished areas. This teaching, often supported by leadership in the Africa West Area, frames the required 10% donation not just as a religious offering, but as "rent" paid to the Lord for occupying His creation and utilizing the air, water, and food He provides. In some instances, members have been taught to prioritize paying tithing even if it means they struggle to pay for food or their own housing, with promises of divine support. Mormonish Podcast is joined by Unorginal Jim to break down the rhetoric around tithing and discuss the ethical questions raised and results of this messaging.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Send us Fan Mail  In this episode, we answer an email that was sent to us asking for help in discerning which is the best option: Tithing or Purposed Giving. We go through the email and provide biblical answers for every question, and we believe we can refute one view successfully by scripture. Purposed giving is said to come from the overflow of the heart, while the tithe is called outdated and done away with. The tithe was a standard set by God, while there is no set standard amount to give in purposed giving… which one is more biblical? Join us today to hear what our conclusions are!

God remains faithful to His promises, especially to Israel, even when they fall away. In Malachi, the call to return through tithing was about restoring the mosaic covenant system by enabling the Levites to fulfill their role, not about tithing itself bringing blessing. For believers today, returning to God is personal—by renewing our mind through His Word and realigning with Him. Even when obedience seems unrewarded, God calls us to trust, return, and experience His faithfulness and care. __________ Malachi 3:6–15 NLT, Numbers 18:20–21 NLT, Nehemiah 13:10–12 NLT, Malachi 2:5–7 NLT, Romans 12:2 NIV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________    

Lead pastors often provide management oversight of staff. But should they know what church staff give to the church? Josh and Sam break down the arguments on both sides, examine potential safeguards, and discuss how church culture and pastoral character shape the best approach.
