Fostering a heart of generosity: serving alongside your kids with Joanna Beasley

Delighted Motherhood

November is a time when many of us begin thinking more about service and giving. Our mailboxes begin to fill up with donation requests and full color gift catalogues and we often begin thinking about who we can bless others during the holiday season.

To that end, how can we invite our kids into the process of giving and serving? In what ways might we provide our kids opportunities to practice serving and giving within their regular rhythms? How can we, without being burdensome and overwhelming, foster hearts of generosity within our children and invite them to serve alongside? 

Why, from a biblical perspective, should providing these opportunities be a priority? And how can the Lord bless our hearts and engage our minds in a deeper way through cultivating this regular, every day serving? 

We serve a God that is abundant in generosity. Part of his generosity is inviting us to join him in being generous towards others. While for some generosity feels natural, for others it takes more work. Regardless of where you are, everyone always has room to grow. Like much of the Christian faith, generosity has to be developed.

Tune in for a wonderful conversation with the lovely Joanna Beasley, mom to three and church planter in an  underserved area on the why behind prioritizing generosity and a few ideas of how to get kids involved.
