How do your resources move to others?

In this episode, we begin exploring the dimension of Flow—the often-overlooked pathways that carry generosity from our lives into the lives of others. Flow is about more than transactions; it’s about the channels through which we release what God has entrusted to us, whether in simple moments of response or through major lifetime decisions.

In this episode, we explore:

• The role of flow in connecting our resources to the destinations of generosity
• The two broad categories of giving: income-based and asset-based
• The five channels of giving:
  • Reflex Giving — responding to a need or an ask in the moment
  • Heartbeat Giving — steady, recurring support for ministries or causes
  • Streamlined Giving — strategic use of tools to give efficiently from income or assets
  • Milestone Giving — significant, uncommon gifts tied to major life moments
  • Exit Giving — final acts of generosity through estate planning and legacy decisions
• How opening new channels can expand both our capacity and our heart posture of open-handedness

Flow invites us to see generosity not as a single stream, but as a widening network of possibilities. May this conversation spark fresh reflection on the ways God might open new channels in your own journey.
