    In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we discuss the importance of stewardship and generosity in churches with guests Danny Stokes and DeWayne McNally. We explore how engagement in giving reflects the spiritual health of a congregation, the significance of understanding different generational motivations for giving, and the role of data in guiding church leaders. You'll also learn the importance of effective communication, pastoral care for lapsed givers, and the development of high-capacity givers as leaders within the church. Ultimately, this conversation will help you transition from a fundraising approach to a discipleship-based approach in church giving. Episode Takeaways

    Generosity is a spiritual issue, not just financial.

    Churches should have a documented theology of giving.

    Transformational giving focuses on heart change, not just transactions.

    Communication about money should be clear and inviting.

    Church leaders need to engage in honest conversations about money.

    Generosity should be integrated into the church's discipleship rhythm.

    Technology can enhance the giving experience if used thoughtfully.

    Churches should track lapsed givers as a pastoral care issue.

    A culture of generosity can lead to increased giving over time.

    Every church can benefit from a systematic approach to generosity.
