“TRUST ISSUES: Faith, Finances, and Following God”
Series Thesis:
We don’t struggle with tithing because we don’t love God—we struggle because life has taught us to protect ourselves. This series reframes tithing not as a transaction, but as a trust practice that forms disciples, funds mission, and heals our relationship with money.
