About Applied Generosity

Whether you are just launching your journey in generosity or are a seasoned giver with decades of experience, we want to take you to frontiers of the generous life that you’ve never seen before. There are numerous books, podcasts, and resources available for those who have yet to take the plunge into generosity. This podcast is for those who are already on the path. We’ve spent over 200 hours with some of the world’s most experienced givers and deepest thinkers in nearly every realm of generosity. This has included pastors, financial advisors, radically generous givers, influential authors, professional speakers, entrepreneurs, philanthropy consultants, CEOs, impact investors, and nonprofit leaders. We’ve built on their experience to chart out just how far the generous life can go in every direction. In this podcast, we’ll explore the 7 major dimensions of generosity, including: Motivation: What fuels your desire to give? Domain: What target areas form the focus of your giving? Intervention: How do you engage with your giving domains? Allocation: How much do you give and keep? Flow: How and when do your resources flow to others? Investing: How does generosity affect the resources you keep? Mobilization: How do you encourage generosity in those around you? We hope this journey opens up entirely new worlds for you to explore.

   Mobilization Part 4 | Conclusion

   What if the most powerful step in generosity is simply knowing where to begin? As we conclude our mobilization series, we step back to see the full picture. Generosity isn’t meant to feel overwhelming or rushed. It unfolds over a lifetime, moving from our closest relationships outward into wider influence. In this final episode, we reflect on the four spheres of mobilization and refocus our attention on discernment, listening for the next best step God is inviting us to take right now. Mobilization becomes less about doing everything and more about faithfully doing something. In this episode, we explore: Companion — encouraging generosity within marriage Children — shaping generous hearts through modeling, conversation, and practice Community — inviting others into generosity through shared stories and collaboration Church (Global) — seeing how our giving connects to a larger movement God is unfolding As we close this series, we’re reminded that generosity doesn’t stop with transformation in us. It deepens as it’s shared. Our hope is that we would step forward with clarity and confidence, joining God in the bigger story He’s telling through generous lives.

   Mobilization Part 3 | Community and Church

   How do you go about inviting others into generosity beyond your family? In this episode, we look at how generosity flourishes within our everyday relationships and across the broader Church. We explore simple, relational ways to encourage others, not by pressure or expertise, but by sharing the stories, risks, and glimpses of God’s provision that have shaped us. Together, we consider how gathering people, giving alongside one another, and even entrusting others with resources can spark generosity that multiplies far beyond a single moment. In this episode, we explore: Five pathways for mobilizing generosity in our communities: celebrating, congregating, collaborating, catalyzing, and championing. Why story matters, and how sharing God’s larger narrative—rather than our own accomplishments—helps others see themselves invited in. The role of safe, trusted spaces where honest conversations about money, fear, joy, and hope can unfold. Giving circles as a way to learn together, broaden our perspectives, and experience shared momentum. Mobilizing the wider Church by focusing on a specific motivation, dimension, or group where our calling is strongest. Generosity is much better in community and you may be the first spark for the blaze.

   Mobilization Part 2 | Companion & Children

   How do we encourage generosity in the people closest to us, beginning right inside our own homes? In this episode, we turn to the first two spheres of mobilization—companion and children—and explore how generosity grows most naturally when it begins with those we know best. We walk through the real, patient work of cultivating unity with a spouse, as well as the joy and responsibility of forming young hearts to see generosity as part of God’s larger story. In this episode, we explore: Why alignment with a spouse transforms generosity from an individual effort into a shared journey. The CARE pathway—communicate, align, refine, extend—as a practical path toward unity and multiplication in marriage. How understanding each spouse’s motivations and domains strengthens mutual growth. The stages of childhood development and how generosity takes shape at each age. Five core beliefs that lay a lifelong foundation for generosity As we look at our closest relationships, we’re reminded that generosity grows strongest when nurtured in love, patience, and everyday faithfulness.
