Can Christians Be Too Generous?
In today’s episode, we dive deep into what the Bible says about generosity, materialism, and the treasures we store up—not here on earth, but in Heaven. I share part of my personal journey: how material things like Legos, hats, and clothes once held meaning for me, but ultimately left me feeling empty until I encountered Christ.
We explore what it really means to give, not just financially but with our time, presence, and compassion. But then comes a tough question: Can a Christian give too much? We’ll look into the heart of generosity, examine the priorities God wants us to hold, and challenge the cultural and even spiritual pressures we sometimes place on ourselves to “do more.”
As always, we ground this conversation in Scripture—ending with powerful verses that reframe what it means to give and live with eternal purpose. Whether you’ve wrestled with materialism, burnout from over-giving, or just want to grow in obedience, this episode is for you.
Verses Used:
Matthew 6:19–21 (ESV)
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 23:23 (ESV)
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.”
1 Timothy 5:8 (ESV)
“But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
