Simply put, generosity is the pathway to live with gratitude toward God and goodness toward neighbor. Over 4-weeks (starting September 22nd), we will be stepping into the practice of generosity together, as we seek to live into the words of Jesus who said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Below you will find suggestions on how you can engage with us in the generosity practice over these 4-weeks. This includes videos that will help you reflect on each week’s teaching on generosity and plan for each weeks generosity practice. You will also find some additional resources on generosity (books, podcasts, etc.).

Steps to engage in the Solitude practice with us each week.

Step 1: Join us for a teaching on generosity each Sunday at Journey Church starting on September 22nd. You can also find the messages HERE on our YouTube channel if you are unable to attend.

Step 2: Read the short section in your Generosity Practice Guide that corresponds to each week’s teaching. (Click HERE for a digital copy or if you would like a printed copy of the Generosity Practice Guide we will have them available at church on Sundays.)

• Week 01: There is More Joy in Giving than Receiving (Sept. 22nd)

• Week 02: Watch out for Greed! (Sept. 29th)

• Week 03: All We Have Belongs to God (Oct. 6th)

• Week 04: Be Generous to the Poor (Oct. 13th)

Step 3: Get together with a group of people (friends, another family, your family, etc.) to watch the short video below that corresponds with each Sunday’s message/teaching and discuss the questions they provide and consider the practices they suggest. Talk through your experience of the previous week's solitude practice.

Step 4: Engage in the practice of generosity each week as directed in the Generosity Practice Guide based on your desire to participate.

Step 5: Reflect on your experience in the space provided in the Generosity Practice Guide. You will use this to share from when you get together with friends or family.   

Step 6: Repeat these steps with us for each of the following weeks.
