    Ep.81 - Is Tithing Only Old Testament Law?

    Is tithing just an outdated command from the Old Testament… or is it still relevant for believers today? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges one of the most common misconceptions about giving and gets to the heart of what tithing really represents. Through both Old and New Testament examples, he unpacks a powerful truth: Tithing didn’t begin with the law—and it didn’t end with it either. Instead, it’s part of a much bigger story…One rooted in gratitude, worship, and a transformed heart.  You’ll discover how: • Tithing existed before the law through Abraham and Jacob • The early church modeled radical generosity far beyond 10% • Jesus affirmed tithing—but challenged the heart behind it • True giving flows from gratitude, not obligation This conversation isn’t about rules. It’s about what your giving says about your heart—and your trust in God. Scripture Referenced • Genesis 14:20 (Abraham tithes before the law) • Genesis 28:20–22 (Jacob’s vow) • Acts 2:45 (The early church’s generosity) • 2 Corinthians 9:7 (Cheerful giving) • Luke 11:42 (Jesus on tithing and the heart) Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

    Ep.80 - Tithing with a Joyful Heart

    What if tithing isn’t really about your money… but your heart? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair unpacks a truth that often gets overlooked in conversations about giving: God isn’t after your wallet—He’s after your heart. Too often, giving can feel like an obligation, a routine, or even a burden. But Scripture paints a very different picture—one where generosity flows from joy, not pressure. Drawing from powerful passages and the story of feeding the 5,000, Andrew explores the two types of givers:The reluctant giver who gives out of obligationThe cheerful giver who gives with joy, trust, and expectationAnd the difference between them isn’t income… it’s perspective. If you’ve ever struggled with giving—or wondered why it feels difficult—this conversation will challenge and encourage you to examine what’s really going on beneath the surface. Because when your heart changes, everything changes. What You’ll LearnWhy giving is a heart issue, not a financial issueThe hidden danger of “checking the box” with tithingHow to shift from reluctant giving to joyful generosityWhat the feeding of the 5,000 teaches about trust and provisionWhy you truly can’t out-give GodIf this episode challenged or encouraged you, make sure to follow Rich Young & Powerful so you don’t miss future conversations on faith, wealth, and purpose. ·        And share this episode with someone who needs a fresh perspective on giving.Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

    Ep.79 - Tithing When Money Is Tight: Faith, Discipline, and Trusting God’s Provision

    When money feels tight, generosity is often the first thing to go. But what if that’s exactly where the breakthrough begins? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew challenges a common belief: “I’ll give when I have more.” Instead, he reframes the conversation around faith, discipline, and the true purpose of money. Drawing from Scripture and real-life financial behavior, Andrew explores why so many people feel stretched financially—and how misplaced priorities, lifestyle inflation, and lack of margin may be the real culprits. He also shares a powerful perspective shift: the generous give first, while the rest is simply managed. This episode isn’t just about money. It’s about trust, obedience, and aligning your financial life with a higher calling. If you’ve ever felt like there’s “more month than money,” this conversation may challenge—and change—the way you think about giving forever.  Scripture ReferencedMalachi 3:10Matthew 4:4Leviticus 19:9–10Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

  4. Ep.78 - Should You Tithe to Charity Instead of the Church? A Biblical Perspective on Giving

    Ep.78 - Should You Tithe to Charity Instead of the Church? A Biblical Perspective on Giving

    Is giving to charity the same as tithing? Many generous people support meaningful causes, fund important work, and make a real difference in the world…but quietly neglect the one place Scripture prioritizes first—the local church. In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair walks through what the Bible actually says about where your tithe belongs and why this isn’t just a financial decision, but a spiritual one. He unpacks three challenges for anyone who gives to charity in place of the church: • What God says about the tithe and the “storehouse” • How good intentions can subtly replace God’s priorities • Why your motives in giving matter more than you think This is not about discouraging generosity, it's about aligning it. Because giving isn’t just about impact… it’s about obedience. Not just about doing good… but honoring God’s design. If you’ve ever wrestled with where your giving should go, this conversation will bring clarity and conviction. Tithe faithfully. Give generously. Live with purpose.

    Ep.77 - Stewardship Basics

    What happens when stewardship is absent? In 2009, a woman unknowingly threw away her mother’s life savings — $1 million hidden inside an old mattress. A simple act of carelessness led to irreversible loss. While that story sounds extreme, the average lifetime earnings in America are around $2 million. The real question is this: How are you stewarding yours? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew unpacks the biblical foundation of stewardship — not as a financial tactic, but as a spiritual discipline. Drawing from Paul’s warning in 1 Timothy 6, we explore why the love of money is so dangerous, why Scripture sometimes tells us to fight… and sometimes to flee, and how wise stewardship protects our hearts from greed while shaping a legacy that honors God. You’ll discover how stewardship is: • Righteousness in action • Godliness in action • Faith in action • Love in action • Endurance in action • Gentleness in action This is a deep and practical conversation for high achievers who want more than financial success — who want purpose, clarity, and eternal impact. If success has been loud in your life lately… this episode is a quiet recalibration. Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

    Ep.76 - Tim Tebow: The Cross Changes Everything

    On this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Tim Tebow joins Andrew McNair for a conversation that goes far beyond sports.  It’s about stewardship. Calling. Compassion.  And why the cross must never become familiar.  Tim shares the story behind his new book If the Tree Could Speak—a powerful gift book that retells the crucifixion through the eyes of the tree that became the cross. Together, Andrew and Tim unpack what it means to stay tender to Calvary, to fight comparison with gratitude, and to use success for something that lasts.  This conversation will challenge you—and re-center what truly matters. Because the greatest ROI isn’t return on investment. It’s return on impact.  Highlights: • Why Tim wrote If the Tree Could Speak—and what he hopes it awakens in believers  • “The cross used to be a symbol of shame… now it’s a symbol of hope”  • Where Tim’s gratefulness comes from and why comparison steals joy  • What stewardship really means (it’s more than finances)  • Return on investment vs. return on impact  • The calling moment that launched the Tim Tebow Foundation  • Why comfort and compassion can’t coexist  • Human trafficking vs. exploitation and why clarity matters  • The unseen role of givers and prayer warriors as the “backbone” of ministry  Key Scriptures Referenced:  Luke 19:40 – “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out”  Jeremiah 29:11  Ephesians 2:10  Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25)  Feeding of the 5,000 (loaves and fishes)  Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

    Ep.74 - Tithing is 10 Percent of What?

    Tithing Is 10% of What? What exactly should you tithe on? Your paycheck is obvious, but what about bonuses, business income, side gigs, investments, or items you sell? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair addresses one of the most debated questions in Christian personal finance: What qualifies as income when it comes to tithing? Drawing from Scripture and real-world financial examples, Andrew explains what tithing is, how the Bible defines firstfruits, and why generosity was never meant to be reduced to loopholes or minimum requirements. From Leviticus to the early Church in Acts, this episode challenges the mindset of “What’s the least I can give and still be obedient?” and replaces it with a better question: How little can I live on so I can give more? Andrew walks through practical scenarios including business revenue, financial gifts, bonuses, capital gains, and selling assets, offering clear guidance rooted in biblical wisdom. Episode Highlights: What the Bible means by tithing and firstfruits How to think about income, bonuses, and miscellaneous money When to tithe on business income, investments, and profits A simple rule of thumb for deciding what qualifies as income Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.
