Steve Andrews

1. People are buried under a mountain of debt. – Dave Ramsey
2. Online giving (automated is better everything that is important for me I automate mortgage, cars)
3. What do you do about leadership giving…If they don’t give fire them. Imagine if you went to a football game and the linebacker didn’t want to push hard.
4. People will do exactly what you will do so you have to let them know
5. What do you do with sizable onetime gifts? Thank them. Spend it.
6. Teach generosity
7. Steve and his wife gave 18% last year.
8. They decided to give their kids two things…an experience of the world and God was calling them as a couple that retirement was not something they would consider.
9. Next year they are looking to give 25% this year from their income.

Brian:

1. This is a spiritual journey.
2. We took our church though a campaign to raise the whole giving of the church.
