What does it really mean to leave a good inheritance? For believers, inheritance is about more than passing down money or material possessions—it’s about preparing the next generation to become faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to them.

In this episode of The Smarter Generosity podcast, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker discuss how generosity can be modeled, taught, and passed down through families. They explore practical ways parents and grandparents can involve children in giving, explain why generosity should be visible within the family, and point to the greater inheritance we have in Christ. Discover how simple conversations, family traditions, and intentional generosity can help shape a lasting legacy of faith and stewardship.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can turn retirement resources into an opportunity for Kingdom impact. In this episode of The Smarter Generosity Podcast, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker explore how QCDs work, who can use them, how they interact with required minimum distributions, and why they can be such a powerful tool for generous retirees.

They also discuss the potential tax benefits, giving beyond the QCD limit, inherited IRAs, and how retirees can use their resources to continue supporting churches, ministries, missionaries, and the Great Commission.

In this conversation, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker explore the role of ROI in generosity and why biblical stewardship goes beyond measuring results. Through the parable of the talents, they discuss how our view of God shapes the way we handle what He has entrusted to us. Rather than seeing God as a demanding taskmaster focused only on outcomes, we are invited to know Him as a generous Master who calls us into relationship, faithfulness, and trust. Discover why good stewardship begins with understanding the heart of God—and how generosity becomes a response to His grace rather than a checklist to complete.
