Why Young Christians Are Outgiving Older Generations by Stewardship's Annika Greco Thompson
Stewardship's report reveals young adults are the most generous givers—how church leaders can harness this hunger for a Kingdom future.
Stewardship.org created a Generosity Report outlining fascinating learnings of giving across generations.
A stat that obviously turned my attention was that young adults are giving a higher percentage of their income than Baby Boomers. This suggests to me that there is something of hunger and discipleship being found within young people that is needed to be harnessed. So I spoke with Annika Greco Thompson.
