However, when their plans for saving and spending collided with God’s purposes for extravagant generosity, they were each compelled to make a life-changing decision that challenges the values held by mainstream America and many Christian commentators. Cortines and Baumer show not only how to radically give but explain how to do so responsibly. </p><p>Transforming Hearts Capital Campaign: The Capital Campaign of Christ Church Charlotte this includes creating established space for the Center for Wellbeing and new gathering spaces including spaces for youth. https://<a href="http://www.christchurchhearts.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.christchurchhearts.org/</a> </p><p><br></p><p> </p><p>🙏 Call to Action: </p><p>Charlie’s story reminds us that generosity doesn’t require perfection—just presence and practice.
