    Modeling Generosity for Your Children

    Episode Details

    Modeling Generosity for Your Children

    Date: Jan 5, 2024

    Guests: Brad Formsma, ​Drew Formsma

    “Generosity” isn’t just about money. In this upbeat talk, Brad Formsma explains how to have a giving mindset, and shares the importance of modeling generosity to your children. It goes beyond money: you can be generous with your thoughts, your words, your time, your influence, your attention, and your stuff. Brad encourages doing “generosity projects” with your kids so that they can experience the blessings of selflessness. We’ll also hear from his 16-year old son Drew on how parents can impart this message to their children in an engaging way.
