Teaching on Money Without Being Weird: 5 Churches Doing It Right

Описание: 💰 Teaching on Money Without Being Weird — 5 Churches Doing It Right

How can your church talk about money without making it awkward? In this episode of unSeminary, Rich Birch shares five incredible examples of churches that are doing generosity right — helping their people grow in biblical stewardship, margin, and mission without sounding manipulative or cringey.

If you’ve ever hesitated to preach about giving or stewardship because you don’t want to seem “that kind of church,” this episode is for you. Rich walks through how leading churches like Crossroads Church, Liquid Church, Pantano Christian, Life.Church, and Saddleback Church are teaching about money in ways that inspire life change — not guilt.

You’ll discover:
✅ Why not talking about money is a discipleship risk
✅ Real-life examples of 90-day tithe challenges, “Blue Teams,” and $10-a-week giving steps
✅ How to make generosity teaching clear, measurable, and practical
✅ Six keys to preaching on money with confidence and zero cringe
✅ Why transparency about your own financial story builds trust and connection

📊 The truth is: your people are already being discipled about money — by Visa, Amex, and Amazon. It’s time to reclaim that conversation for the Kingdom.
