456 Cultivating the heart of a cheerful giver (Des Smith)

<p>Why do some Christians give joyfully while others give reluctantly?</p><p>Most of us know generosity is good. Yet many Christians still approach giving reluctantly, defensively, or simply as another bill to pay.</p><p>Tish Maier talks with Des Smith about why that gap exists and how churches can help people move towards joyful, gospel-shaped generosity. They discuss gratitude, sacrifice, stewardship, and practical ways to cultivate hearts that delight in giving rather than merely feeling obligated to do it.</p><p>Des is the Senior Pastor of Trinity Church Lockleys Adelaide and Tish is the Support Raising Manager at Reach Australia. </p><p><strong>Toolbox:</strong></p><p>Part 1: <a href="https://reachaustralia.com.au/455-when-giving-is-uncomfortable-instead-of-cheerful-in-your-church-des-smith/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ep 455 When giving is uncomfortable instead of cheerful in your church (Des Smith)</a></p><p><a href="https://generositypath.org/what-is-a-jog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Generosity Path</a></p><p><strong>Credits: </strong></p><p>The One Thing is brought to you by <a href="https://raus.link/RAWeb" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Reach Australia⁠⁠</a></p><p>To pray for Reach Australia, join our <a href="https://raus.link/RAWhatsAPP" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠</a></p><p>For ideas or questions please email <a href="mailto:resources@reachaustralia.com.au" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠resources@reachaustralia.com.au⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://reachaustralia.com.au/partner-resource-library/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Support Reach Australia&#39;s online library</a></p>
