Ep. 027 - Radical Openness: Financial Wisdom from the Early Church | Acts 2 & 4

Second Half Stewardship

Pentecost, and the sending of the Holy Spirit, caused the early church approach to finances radically. In this episode, Spencer and Austin explore the cultural significance of language, individualism, and communal sharing in light of the Holy Spirit's work.

Discover how the first Christians lived with radical openness to God and each other and how their example challenges us to reconsider our own attitudes toward money and generosity. Dive into Acts 2 and 4 with us and discover the profound lessons we can apply in our lives today.
