Listen "Understanding Generosity"
Episode Synopsis
Generosity isn’t just about giving—it’s an act of worship, a blessing, and a powerful witness. In this message, PB shares key insights from his recent Holy Land trip to Egypt and an inspiring conversation with a remarkable woman named Robyn. Through her story and the principles in 2 Corinthians 9, we learn that when we live generously, God blesses us abundantly—not for personal gain, but so we can bless others. Join us as we explore what it means to live a life of radical generosity and how it shapes our faith, church, and community.
