    The Journey Continues

    You have taken a meaningful step by attending a Generous Giving experience. Together, we explored what it means to live generously, reflecting on how generosity can change the world and also transform our relationship with God.

    Our hope is that you will continue to seek first the kingdom through listening and responding to the Holy Spirit’s prompting. We also believe that transformation is a process. Now that the retreat has concluded, the journey doesn’t end here—it’s only the beginning.

    Next Steps

    It is our sincere prayer that you were able to hear from the Lord during your time of silence. If you sense God is leading you in a certain direction, take steps toward His unique calling for you. Often, clarity and strength come as you move forward in faith. 

    Here are a few practices to stay attuned to His voice:

    • Spend time listening to God and write in a journal as you hear from Him.
    • Reflect: Did any fears or anxieties about money come up while you were listening?
    • Go for a walk and process what God is telling you.
    • Meditate on 1 Timothy 6:17-19.

    To continue the conversation, we invite you to:

    • Share your takeaways with your spouse or close friend.
    • Connect with your Journey of Generosity host or friends from the Celebration of Generosity conference for coffee or lunch to share what you learned.
    • Talk to your pastor, mentor, or small group leader about what God is teaching you.

    Do you have loved ones you would like to experience this message? Consider hosting a Journey of Generosity to bring them on the journey with you.

    Once you have identified the direction God is leading, take one step, no matter how small, in the direction of your vision.

    Here are a few ideas to consider:

    • As God leads, increase your regular and/or systematic giving. 
    • Consider opening a giving account using a checking account or donor-advised fund (DAF).
    • Look for ways to glorify God through spontaneous, everyday generosity.
    • Find out more about needs in your community and take a step to serve.

    During your Generous Giving experience, you took time to study God’s Word and learn from teachings on generosity. Our team created the Six-Week Growth Plan to help you stay inspired through scripture, stories, and reflection time over the next six weeks.

    We also recommend signing up for National Christian Foundation’s weekly email digest: Saturday 7. Each issue includes news, ideas, stories, solutions, and opportunities for generosity.
