Do you find yourself wondering, “Is it mandatory to tithe?” or “Does God expect me to give even when I can’t afford to?”

In this episode of Baby Steps with Christ, host Leigh Trupin shares a powerful story about the pressure some people experience around tithing and why giving should never be motivated by guilt, fear, or religious pressure.

Many people have been taught that tithing is required or that they are blocking their blessings if they don’t give financially. Leigh explains why your relationship with God matters more than religious expectations and why learning to hear God’s voice allows you to understand how He personally leads you to give.

Through this personal story and her own journey with giving, Leigh shares how God may lead people differently in different seasons of life. He may lead someone to give financially, give with their time, or He may not be leading them to give anything at all right now. The important thing is learning to follow God’s direction rather than acting out of guilt or pressure.

This episode offers a pressure-free perspective for anyone who has struggled with questions about tithing, church expectations, or whether they are expected to give.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Is tithing mandatory for Christians?

• Am I disappointing God if I can’t afford to tithe?

• Does God expect me to give no matter my circumstances?

• How can I know what God is leading me to do with my money, time, and resources?

• What if God isn’t leading me to give right now?

This episode will help you understand why giving is not about meeting religious expectations, but about developing a personal relationship with God and learning to follow His guidance.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A story about the impact of guilt and pressure surrounding tithing.

• Why no one should feel ashamed for being unable to give financially.

• How God may lead people to give differently in different seasons.

• Why God may not be leading you to give right now.

• How developing a relationship with God helps you confidently follow His direction.

If you’re ready to move beyond religious pressure and learn how to follow God’s leading in your daily life, this episode will help you take your next baby step with Him.
