Raising Givers in a Me-First World (Part 2): Teaching Kids to Steward Time, Talent, and Treasure
“If we’re going to use our family as a discipleship training ground, let’s think of ways we can give as a family and create traditions of giving together.”
In Part Two of this powerful series, Lori and John Lane move from the heart of generosity to the habits that help it take root. Building on the biblical foundation from Part One, they unpack what it means to teach stewardship of time, resources, relationships, and responsibility in the home.
Grounded in passages like 2 Corinthians 9:6–11, Psalm 112, and Luke 16:10, this episode explores how the Supremacy of Scripture shapes a biblical view of giving and how everyday family life becomes the training ground for generosity. With practical examples, age-based ideas, and personal stories, Lori and John show how to raise children who see all they have including their gifts, their time, and their talents as belonging to God.
