We all have the innate desire to be more generous but we do not know how and, worse,we sometimes feel like we have nothing more to give. This is the fear of failure that we encounter and keeps us from being generous. Unfortunately, most of us have no margin in our life for generosity. We have maxed out financially and are already overbooked. It takes all that we have to hold our own lives together which, in turn, makes the great commission that Jesus gives us at Matthew 28:18-20 our last priority.You are not alone in this struggle as Pastor Kevin has been there where you are right now. We know the frustration that comes from the endless sense that we ought to give more without having a clear path of how to become more generous. We know the fear that giving now could result in the humiliation of complete financial ruin later but it doesn’t have to be that way. The way that you are looking for is through God’s strategy of all day shameless generosity.As stated in John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. God’s strategy has always been audacious generosity. Audacious generosity is a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks by being kind and plentiful and this is an attribute of God that we see throughout scripture. We sincerely want to help others to survive and thrive too but the problem is that we have learned to avoid the subject of giving. In the book, Audacious Generosity, we will uncover the blessings of God that resulted only from giving through his strategy of audacious generosity. This book will help you change any sense of pressure and regret you have for genuine confidence and satisfaction, giving you the real encouragement you need to live. By the end of this book, you will be encouraged and courageous. You will not only see that audacious generosity is the way to go but you will also know exactly how to get there. Audacious generosity is about allowing God room in your life to do something seemingly more than you could ask. It is about allowing God to use you to bring heaven on earth. It is about taking aas many people as possible to heaven with you, about how God is the giver and giving depends on what God puts into your hands. God uses audacious generosity to totally transform how you see Him, yourself and others. After reading this book and understanding audacious generosity you can have a life empowered for limitless giving. When you finish reading this book, you will start to enjoy a living relationship with God fueled by courage, characterized by freedom and overflowing with audacious generosity.Live with audacious generosity. Take the time to read the book Audacious Generosity and see how to set God yourseslf adn others free. Change won’t happen overnight but, by starting with reading this book and doing the small practices that are in this boo, you can start opening your hands up to God. __________________________The Audacious Generosity Podcast with Kevin White empowers listeners world-wide for limitless giving.

Pastor Aland’s Story - God’s Guiding Hand

Pastor Aland was born in Malaysia and came from a Christian family. He is the only one in full-time ministry but, by the grace of God, his family are all followers of Jesus and Christian. He went to Thailand to stay with his wife, closing his business in Malaysia and staying in a foreign country for love. He was called into ministry by God when the previous pastor, an American pastor named Joe Nelson, of the church he had been attending had wanted to leave the church and he asked Pastor Aland to take over for him. A mentor was supposed to help the transition along and guide Pastor Aland but the mentor never showed up. Instead of being disheartened and seeing this as a sign to give up, Pastor Aland took over the role as a pastor and had lots of challenges to overcome as this had been his first time ever preaching.Pastor Aland has been a pastor in Phuket, Thailand, a tourist island filled to the brim with diverse international tourists and one of the most popular tropical island destinations in the world. Now, Phuket is faced with a dire situation as Thailand’s borders have closed due to COVID19. What was once a busy tourist area filled with shops and great businesses is now a ghost town with hundreds of hungry families.For more information of what has happened to Phuket, Thailand, here is a news report that describes what is happening in 2020.Seeing the hungry people in Phuket, Pastor Aland asked his wife for help. They got the church to sponsor a meal and prepared 50-60 packets for two weeks. Then the church in Bangkok doubled that, turning what should have been two weeks into five weeks and 60 packets to over 200 packets a day. They simply spoke and did their part, giving what they could and God provided the miracle. From 60 packets, God’s hand can been seen on how it had multiplied to 200 packets.Pastor Arland’s plan had been small, had been about what he could give but God’s plan for him was bigger and He had given the resources and brought the miracle to make it happen. Pastor Aland took the first steps and opened himself to God’s plan, to God’s guiding hand._____The Audacious Generosity Podcast with Kevin White empowers listeners world-wide for limitless giving.

Introduction to Audacious Generosity with Drew Appelbaum

Pastor Kevin was born in Western North Carolina and grew up in a Christian family with his parents divorcing when he was 12 years old. He came to know Christ at the age of 10 and that knowledge became his saving refuge over a lot of turbulent times in his childhood. He got the call of God when he was 17, during which he has never traveled outside of North and South Carolina, not even having a passport back then but now, here he is, committing his life to full-time ministry. He has been married for 33 years and they have a son and two daughters. This year, they have been blessed with their first granddaughter. He has been to India 51 times and has traveled to around 27 different countries. For him, God has used India as a pivotal moment in his life and He has used India to change Pastor Kevin’s life. In India, he saw the value of God’s presence in a way that he had not seen in the US and it was on the flight back to the US when he had determined that he was going to spend the rest of his life pursuing God’s presence. He came back with their 11 year old son and some friends from their church and, now, he has taken a thousand people with him on short-term mission trips to India.The Audacious Generosity Podcast was created as a result of Pastor Kevin writing his new book, Audacious Generosity, out on November 17, 2020 worldwide via Amazon in both book (paperback and hardback) and audio book format. Pastor Kevin considered the writing of the book as an assignment from God. He came back from India on January 8, 2020 and went into a workshop with a communication coach from January 27 to 28, right after their granddaughter was born. With an outline of the book, he began to write and, as all international travel has been suspended due to pandemic, he was able to focus on this book with an intensity he had not had for the last 8 years, finishing it by May when he would have normally been in India during this time.He felt that God had been preparing him for 2 decades for the things he had written in the book. Audacious Generosity is about the value of generosity and how it really does open doors for ministry and the purposes of God and our lives. The context of this book may be Christian but this book is for everyone, not just for a particular religion for there is a lot of kindness that can be seen no matter what religion one may have. Anyone looking for meaning and satisfaction in life will resonate with the message of Audacious Generosity.Audacious is a willingness to take risk and generosity is an action of being kind and plentiful. When combined, it means being generous on a level of willingness to take risk. He considered writing and publishing this book as a gift from God and a high honor. The best show of this is with God’s mission. God’s mission has always been Jesus and his strategy has always been Audacious Generosity as could clearly be seen in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son”. He gave and gifted His Son to everyone, whether they accept or reject the gift. That is what audacious generosity is and who Pastor Kevin follows as a Christian.The problem with giving is that we start to feel like we’re being asked to give up our resources and we feel the pressure to give. It starts to scare us and we start to avoid giving all together. That is why, one of the primary things Pastor Kevin clarifies in the book, is that God is the giver. That takes the pressure away from us when we understand giving doesn’t depend upon what’s in our hands or what’s in our bank account but it depends upon Him. We give what He puts in our hands, not what we can produce.Audacious Generosity can be summed up in three words: “Open Your Hands” and we hope that Pastor Kevin’s book and this podcast empower all of you._____The Audacious Generosity Podcast with Kevin White empowers listeners world-wide for limitless giving.
