Ep 16 | Everyone Leaves a Legacy
The Giving Room
09/20/23 • 18 min
Legacy isn’t just about what you do with your stuff—it’s about what you do with your life. You’ll leave a legacy whether you plan to or not. Whether that legacy is a train wreck or something truly remarkable is up to you. In this episode you’ll hear Dave & David unpack several instructive stories—and even learn who Jesus said was the G.O.A.T. (and He wasn’t talking about LeBron vs. Jordan...).
Join Dave & David in the Giving Room for a discussion about the legacy you could be leaving. The choice is yours.

Ep 8 | A Tale of 2 Fields
The Giving Room
05/30/23 • 19 min
Today we’re going to dive into two historical accounts of land or real estate gifts. These two accounts from the early church start out the same but definitely don’t end the same. We believe there is both a dose of encouragement—as well as caution—found here for us today. Pull up a chair and join us in the Giving Room as we unpack the role our heart and our motivation play in determining whether we’re truly generous.

Ep 5 | The Overhead Myth-Busted
The Giving Room
04/18/23 • 18 min
We're pulling back the curtain on a philosophy that donors and nonprofits alike have held—the charity with the lowest overhead wins, or, from the donor's perspective, "I don't want my gift to pay for overhead." We'll push back on the statement that "100% of your gift goes to our mission" and encourage you to think strategically. Pull up a chair and join us in the Giving Room as we attempt to bust the overhead myth.
