  • A Map for the Generous Life, Introducing the Applied Generosity Podcast (Ep. 173)

    A Map for the Generous Life, Introducing the Applied Generosity Podcast (Ep. 173)
    2026/01/12
    On the Finish Line Podcast, we have always believed in the power of stories. Over hundreds of conversations, we have seen how God patiently draws people into generosity across an entire lifetime, often through unexpected paths. Yet for many, these stories also surface an honest question: “What does this mean for me, and where is God calling me next?” In this special episode, fellow Finish Line board members David Campaigne from Blue Trust and Matt Mancinelli from Generous Giving help us introduce our most significant development since the launch of the Finish Line Pledge: The Applied Generosity Podcast. Each story we’ve shared in the last few years has been shaped by unique calling, personal surrender, and profound steps of faith. Yet over time, patterns have emerged. While no two stories are the same, many givers find themselves crossing the same terrain, wrestling with similar questions, fears, and decisions along the way. Applied Generosity was created to help make sense of that shared landscape, exploring seven dimensions of generosity that repeatedly show up across the journeys we have heard. It provides a map, helping bring orientation, language, and clarity to where God may already be at work in your own life and where He may be inviting a next step. If you’ve been inspired by the stories you’ve heard on Finish Line Podcast, but long for clearer discernment about the next step in your own journey, then Applied Generosity was specifically made for you. QUOTES TO REMEMBER David: “Generosity is a journey, like life is a journey. You plant a seed, you water it, but ultimately it’s God who makes things grow.”Matt: “We’re being invited into being more like Jesus as we give.”David: “God doesn’t need our money; what He ultimately wants is our heart.”Cody: “Some of the largest obstacles to living generously are fear and greed, and these are both addressed by answering the question, ‘how much is enough?’”Matt: “If I see an opportunity to bless somebody in a way that would boost their faith and I can come alongside them, that’s when I’m fired up to give.”David: “I want to know that my giving, whether to an individual or an organization, is going to draw people to Jesus.”Kealan: “Generosity is one of the strongest means by which God enables me to trust Him.”David: “How can we leverage the currency of that which is passing away into the currency of that which will endure forever?”Kealan: “Applied generosity is simply naming the shared landscape of the the generous life and providing some definition to it so we can see the whole picture and figure out where that next right step is in our own journey.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Applied GenerosityDavid Campaigne, Financial Advisor at Ronald Blue Trust (see our past interview here)Heather Tuininga, Founder of 10|10 Strategies (see our past interview here)Matt Mancinelli, Managing Director at Generous Giving (see our past interview here) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman)Ronald Blue Trust (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue)The Treasure Principle (see our interview with author Randy Alcorn)God and Money (see our interviews with co-authors Greg Baumer and John Cortines)Museum of the BibleHope International (see our interview with founder, Jeff Rutt or CEO, Peter Greer)The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 | God Makes Things Grow Luke 16:10a | Faithful in Little and Much “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, 1 Timothy 6:17-19 | True Riches As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

  • Michael Blue, Director of Discipleship at the Ron Blue Institute, on the Personal Journey of Surrender (Ep. 172)

    Michael Blue, Director of Discipleship at the Ron Blue Institute, on the Personal Journey of Surrender (Ep. 172)
    2026/01/05
    Michael Blue serves as Director of Discipleship and former President of the Ron Blue Institute, and his life reflects a steady journey of learning to trust God with open hands. Raised in a home shaped by biblical financial stewardship, Michael developed strong habits around money early on. Yet it was in his thirties, amid professional success and financial security, that God exposed a deeper restlessness. What appeared stable on the surface revealed an inner hollowness, leading Michael and his family into a season of prayer, surrender, and renewed reflection on what faithful obedience truly means. In his current role, Michael focuses on forming biblical and practical financial wisdom in the next generation, particularly among high school and college students. He has also helped pioneer the 9:23 Fellowship, a discipleship journey that invites believers to take up their cross daily and follow Jesus in every area of life, including how they steward money, grow in community, and trust God’s provision. Michael’s calling is to help believers align their finances with wholehearted discipleship, viewing stewardship as worship and generosity as freedom rooted in trust. This episode creates space to rethink money, faith, and obedience in ways that feel both convicting and hopeful. Major Topics Include: Learning to live openhandedlyThinking through savings as a giverRelying on God for provisionEngaging younger generations through the Ron Blue InstituteHelping the Church recognize and overcome greed and covetousness Four H’s of biblical stewardship for college studentsThe difference between “bread” and “seed”Flourishing together in communityLearning to be a good receiverStretching your faith through steps of generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Giving ought to be joyful and saving ought to be purposeful, but if it’s just rote obedience, you can lose the heart behind it.”“God delights in inviting us to participate in His story.”“Stewardship is managing our money for the glory of God.”“Our capacity to meet people in their time of need all comes down to our margin of time and money.”“Whenever we feel like God gives us more, more often than not, it’s seed for sowing.”“The most generous people are the least fearful people I know. They’re not wracked with anxiety about providing for them in the future.”“We were made to flourish together in community.”“We’re all created to be both givers and receivers, so a healthy church is one where I can both give and receive.”“The thing that drives us to a life of continued generosity is hungering after who God is, what he’s done in our lives, and how we can grow nearer to HIm.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Ron Blue Institute (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue)The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard StearnsInternational Justice Mission (IJM)Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman)The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 2 Corinthians 8-9 | The Macedonian Church Matthew 6:33 | Seek First the Kingdom But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

  • Renée Rinehart, CoFounder of Gospel Patrons, on Risky Generosity and Trusting God’s Provision (Ep. 171)

    Renée Rinehart, CoFounder of Gospel Patrons, on Risky Generosity and Trusting God’s Provision (Ep. 171)
    2025/12/29
    Renée Rinehart, co-founder of Gospel Patrons, understands the grace and surrender that generosity requires from both sides of the equation. Raised in a family shaped by missions, hospitality, and entrepreneurial generosity, Renée learned early on that generous, open-handed obedience often requires risk. As she and her husband, John, built careers in business, God invited them to ask deeper questions about purpose, wealth, and their role in the Kingdom. That questioning led to a season of radical trust, including a 132-day journey across 22 countries where they relied on God daily for their bed and bread provision. Through uncertainty, sickness, and unexpected grace, they exercised their faith, and came to know God as their provider on a deeper and more extreme level than they ever thought possible. Along the way, Renée and John were introduced to many inspiring stories of how God has used patrons with the gift of giving throughout history for the advancement of the Gospel, and those stories became John’s first book, Gospel Patrons. The Rineharts have now carried the message of Gospel Patrons around the world, inspiring stewards of wealth to know the vitality of their role in the Kingdom, and to experience the beauty and joy of Kingdom impact from patron-proclaimer partnerships. If you are seeking a faith-shaped vision of generosity marked by surrender, partnership, and trust, this episode is for you. Major topics include: A journey of extreme faithThe necessary partnership of gospel patrons and proclaimers Trusting God to meet your needs so you can be radically generousExperiencing both the giving and receiving sides of a patronage partnershipGenerosity is more about relationship than resultInspiring patrons all over the world through storyEmpowering women to step into role as gospel patronsStewarding your story of risk and generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “My grandparents as missionaries didn’t think of themselves as poor, but they just thought of God as being abundant and they lived from that place of faith and abundance.”“It felt like God was giving back my dream, but so much bigger than I had ever imagined it.”“What can we do to discover what God’s doing around the world and how people are in relationship with Him all over?”“In country after country, place after place, God opened doors and introduced us to people, and we saw how people worshiped Him throughout 22 different countries.” “I think we so often want to see God move and we want to see miracles, but we don’t want to be in a place of need and discomfort. But those are the two halves of the coin, you have to be in the place where you need a miracle before you’re ready to see one.”“I came home with a totally different sense that I am loved by the God of the universe. Seeing that He could take me into my worst fears and bring good out of it and I would be okay, I was ready to surrender everything knowing that He’s good, He’s with us, and everything else was just details.”“God always raises up both people with a vision to see the Gospel advance and people who are going to partner deeply financially and in friendship. And it’s when the Body of Christ comes together with different giftings, both patrons and proclaimers, that the Gospel advances.”“We were so captivated by this idea that business people were a vital part of the Body of Christ.”“We’re making friends for eternity by sort of wildly spreading wealth around and allowing God to plant His seeds of love and goodness all over the place.”“There’s risk on both sides, and faith and humility needed on both sides of the equation.”“God is raising up a tidal wave of generosity to fuel the Great Commission, and there is so much momentum happening.”“When we’re really looking for God’s hand, He gives us the ability to tell our stories differently.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Gospel Patrons by John RinehartGospel Patrons (see our interview with founder John Rinehart)IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut)The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 2 Corinthians 5:7 | Walk by Faith for we walk by faith, not by sight.
