概要

There are billions of dollars accumulating in donor advised funds and we are here to ask the question, is this okay?


Some Christians say everything is fine; the system is working as it should. Others say this is a major problem.


Hosted by financial counselor, Courtney Markley, this mini-series will take you through a narrative journey to explore what really lies beneath this number.

But this story isn’t just about donor advised funds; it is about each of us and the elephant in the room: Christians give less today than during the Great Depression. It’s simply become normal in our culture for God’s people not to live generously.


Could our lack of giving be a sign that something greater is going on?

Throughout the journey we will hear from industry experts, ministry leaders, entrepreneurs, and biblical scholars. We’ll be joined by John Rinehart, Randy Alcorn, Ronald Blue, Peter Greer, and Craig Blomberg – just to name a few.


We'll explore the challenges people face when giving to charity, the obstacles of passing down generational wealth, and the vulnerable reasons we often keep money to ourselves.


The goal of this podcast is not to convince you to give more money away.


This is an invitation into a gentle discussion about giving, discipleship to Christ, and our idle treasure.

    The Solution: Part Two
    2026/04/28

    As we close the Idle Treasure series, we turn the spotlight back to the real question behind donor-advised funds. This conversation was never simply about how much money sits in charitable accounts. It's about what our money reveals about our nearness to Jesus.

    We walk alongside the rich young ruler, as he holds a key to the DAF dilemma.

    From there we name three themes that consistently marked the people we interviewed throughout the series. We also share a big assumption underneath this whole project, and offer a conclusion that both challenges and inspires.

  • The Solution: Part One

    The Solution: Part One
    2026/04/21

    What are possible solutions to the DAF dilemma? And, how should Christians be responding to this Idle Treasure?

    Some obstacles to generosity are practical, some are relational, and others are spiritual.

    In Part One of the Idle Treasure finale, we walk through two practical, concrete tools that can change the trajectory of your giving: a financial finish line and a sunset strategy.

    We hear from one financial advisor who put a cap on his personal spending to free up more funds for giving, which resulted in an interesting new dynamic with his clients.

    We also meet someone who ran a private foundation and developed a strategic plan to give away all the money, which led to their most fruitful years in philanthropy.

    If you’re using a DAF, leading a foundation, advising clients, or just trying to follow Jesus with your money, this conversation is an invitation to rest in enoughness and take the next faithful step.

  • Who is Responsible?

    Who is Responsible?
    2026/04/14

    In the last several episodes of Idle Treasure, we’ve been unpacking reasons why money in DAFs stay stagnant.

    Many people are starting to wonder who should be held accountable for the DAF dilemma.

    Some say it’s the government’s responsibility to put more regulations in place.

    Some say the duty falls on the advisors and DAF sponsors.

    Some say it is up to the individual to ensure funds are deployed.

    And many say it is a different entity entirely that should be held accountable.

    In this episode, we look at four key players in the DAF dilemma and begin asking: Who’s responsible for creating change?
