Quotes from Episode 599

If it's not glorifying God, I've failed at the outset. - @arthurbrooks Click To Tweet Everything I do needs to follow four steps: glorify God, serve others, having an adventure, and making a living. But it has to be in that order. - @arthurbrooks Click To Tweet Admiration and friendship are the sword and shield of missionary work for Christians in ordinary life. - @arthurbrooks Click To Tweet This is the sanctification of work: to be a vessel for greater good, to be a vessel for God's work, and to uplift other people. - @arthurbrooks Click To Tweet

The Art of Building a Generous Congregation

Last week, I launched a new program called The Art of Building a Generous Congregation.

One of the joys of being a church leader is that you get to not only talk about, but ask for money in front of dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people. You may catch a hint of sarcasm in my tone. All kidding aside, if you’re like most, you likely have plans for money that you don’t yet have—whether it’s for outreach, community impact, staffing, or a building. You want the results of a generous congregation, with out the process of talking about it and, you know, actually raising the funds.

Wherever your church lands when it comes to giving and generosity, The Art of Building a Generous Congregation can help you build a financially flourishing church—both margin in your budget, and margin in the lives of the people you lead.

From learning better ways to talk and teach about money, right down to every single email that your church needs to send about money and generosity each year—pre-written for you and ready to copy-and-paste, you’ll learn how to create a culture of generosity from the ground up, or from right where you are.

And to kick things off, we’re running a LIVE work-through of the course if you join before September 29th, so you can work through the course with me and other leaders in the program. It’s been amazing to see so many of the leaders inside the Art of Leadership Academy jump head-first into the group already.

There’s just a few days left to join the live course, since the deadline for that is September 29th at midnight Eastern time.

Join today at theartofgenerositycourse.com And again, join by September 29th to get in on the LIVE work-through of the course, which is the only time we’re offering this in 2023.
