Journey of Generosity participants say…

  • “This was an unbelievable experience. Many times talks about generosity are so cold and unattached. This conference put warmth back into the conversation of generosity through story. It reminded me of the ultimate story that Jesus gave everything to be with us!”

  • “This was phenomenal and I’m excited to take it back to our church.”

  • “The material provided by JoG is truly inspirational, convicting, and life-changing!”

    Hosting a Journey of Generosity

  • Here is a collection of videos that you might see at a JoG:

  • Aside from a short sermon from Tim Keller, there is no teaching. There is facilitated discussion after watching a video, studying 2 Corinthians 9, or reading an excerpt from Richard Foster.

  • Absolutley! Anyone who has already experienced a JoG and who has been trained to be a facilitator can lead a JoG.

  • There is a two-hour online training, or Brad Jenkins of Soma Churches can train you in person or through Zoom.

  • Generous Giving provides resources to help you think through the entire JoG experience, from choosing a date, finding a location, and inviting and registering guests.

  • There is no catch or fundraising involved. A JoG is intentionally neutral. The JoG is designed to be a transformational experience for a small group (10–16 people) that focuses on the heart of generosity.
