In 1999, four friends began a conversation that would change things. Observing that some of their friends were radical joyful givers, they set out to spread the message of biblical generosity among those entrusted with much.

The Story of Generous Giving

Tom and Bree Hsieh may seem like the average American couple, but their lives are anything but typical. Having accumulated significant wealth in the technology era, they chose a different path that has led to more joy and freedom for their family.

Growing up as an orphan, Janice Worth believed that money equaled security. As a successful entrepreneur, Janice admits she has always loved money—making it, spending it, and giving it away. After meeting Jesus as an adult though, her motivation for giving has moved from a place of fear to a place of freedom. Janice’s journey opens her heart to see that true security isn’t found in our zeros, but in the loving arms of Jesus who richly provides for all our needs.

Pete and Debbie Ochs may look like the typical American couple, but their lives are anything but common. Having seen generosity modeled growing up, they purposed to be as successful as possible so their 10% for God could be a big number. They also had big plans for the other 90% until God got a hold of their hearts. After 15 years on this generosity journey they are challenging their faith by sharing more than money with local inmates who are proving that the power of generosity can change lives and our world.

Katherine and Alan Barnhart added an interesting twist to the American dream and made it their business not to get rich. As newlyweds, they set up safe guards to protect them from the pitfalls of money as they took over a family business. From the beginning, they set a financial finish line and told God if He prospered the company they would use it to advance the Kingdom instead of advancing their lifestyle. With a winsomeness that is contagious, Alan tells the story of God’s richness toward them and their journey to live the life that is truly life promised in scripture.
