THe Seven
Dimensions
of Applied Generosity
Motivation
What fuels your giving?
Generosity begins in the heart, flowing from a mix of joy, meaningful relationships, intimacy with God, compassion for those in need, a desire for lasting impact, and strategic creativity. Together, these motivations shape a balanced, vibrant life of giving.
DOMAIN
What areas will you focus on?
We are invited into four life-shaping arenas: the local church, everyday acts of generosity, restoring brokenness, and advancing the gospel. Each domain teaches us a different aspect of Christlike character and helps our generosity grow deeper.
Intervention
How do you engage your domains?
Not all organizations are created equal. Learn how to identify those that are facilitating meaningful, lasting change and make a good match for your passions, personality, and giftings.
Allocation
How much do you give and keep?
Givers fall into four broad styles when deciding how much to give. Each approach shapes your journey with God in unique ways and works best at specific stages of financial stability.
Flow
How do your resources move?
Generosity has a rhythm. Your resources can flow through income, tax-wise strategies, or major asset gifts, each offering a unique dynamic to how you give and respond to God’s leading.
Investing
How do you steward the rest?
The wealth that stays in your control can deeply influence your heart. Over time, intentional stewardship moves every dollar toward greater alignment with God’s kingdom purposes.
Mobilization
How do you invite others in?
The generosity you inspire in others has far more impact than what you could give alone. By modeling and sharing your journey, you encourage those closest to you—and the wider Church—to live generously as well.
