Episode Description: In this episode, Ekemini and Christina are discussing how God’s immeasurable gifts to us transform us into givers. Listen in as we acknowledge how calls to give have been wrongly weaponized and corrupted in some churches.  Despite this painful truth, we lift up the greater truth of the multi-faceted ways we are called to give of our time, talent and treasure. Jesus said it best, “it is better to give than to receive.”
