If Generosity Path were a perfume, it would be the base notes. It’s our core. If you cut us open, this is what we’d bleed. If a brand is “what people say about you when you aren’t in the room”, the brand essence would complete the sentence, “The thing about Generosity Path is…”
Ok, the last one’s a bit predictable but it just has to be included. It’s less about what we do, and more about who we are – how you might recognise something that Generosity Path has been involved in.
You should see these three elements in every experience, every communication and every interaction.
The life of Jesus is at the heart of how we understand generosity.
When the people we meet choose to take this journey, it is never in response to Generosity Path, but always in response to Jesus. Once we’re prepared to surrender all that we are and all that we have to Jesus, we’re just about ready to begin.
The world’s view of generosity is giving to charity. The Jesus view of generosity is to “sell everything you have and give it to the poor” and it starts, not with money, but with our hearts. We all have more capacity to give than we could possibly realise.
Taking the path of radical generosity frees people from the control that money has over their lives. It frees people from feeling that it’s their money being given away, as we recognise that we’re only giving away what God has already given us. Ultimately, our collective generosity has the power to bring a previously unimagined freedom to communities, countries, and the entire world.
