Ep.97 - Can I Tithe My Time Instead of Money?

Can you tithe your time instead of your money?It’s a question Andrew McNair has been hearing more often—and underneath it is a much bigger conversation about tithing, generosity, stewardship, and the condition of our hearts.In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew looks at what Scripture says about tithing, from the first fruits of the Old Testament to Jesus’ words to the Pharisees. He explains why giving your time, talents, and abilities can be an important part of serving God but why service shouldn’t simply become a substitute for financial giving.You’ll hear Andrew unpack:• Why the biblical tithe involved giving God the first and the best • Whether volunteering or professional services can count as your tithe • What Jesus’ rebuke of the Pharisees teaches us about obedience and the heart • Why giving money doesn’t exempt us from giving our time and talents • How generosity becomes much bigger than simply checking a 10% box • Why the tithe may be the beginning—not the end—of a generous life Ultimately, God doesn’t need our money or our time. Giving reminds us who everything belongs to and invites us into deeper dependence, worship, and participation in His work.Give your money. Give your time. Give your talents. And allow generosity to shape the way you live.Follow Rich Young & Powerful for more conversations about faith, generosity, stewardship, purpose, and building a legacy that outlives you.If this episode encouraged you, please follow the Rich Young & Powerful Podcast and leave a review.

Ep.96 - Is Tithing Only an Old Testament Law? What the Bible Really Says

Is tithing simply an Old Testament requirement that disappeared when Jesus fulfilled the law?It’s one of the most common arguments against tithing, but the biblical story of giving begins long before Moses and continues well into the New Testament.In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair examines tithing throughout Scripture, beginning with Abraham and Jacob giving a tenth before the Mosaic law was ever established. He then turns to the early church, Paul’s teaching on cheerful generosity, and Jesus’ own words about tithing, justice, mercy, and the condition of our hearts.You’ll discover why the New Testament doesn’t lower the standard of generosity, but in many ways raises it—and why Christian giving should flow from gratitude, worship, and a transformed relationship with God rather than obligation alone.In this episode:• Did tithing exist before the Old Testament law?• What Abraham and Jacob teach us about giving• What Jesus actually said about tithing• Why the early church practiced radical generosity• Paul’s teaching on cheerful, voluntary giving• The difference between giving from obligation and giving from gratitude• Why generosity can become part of your Christian testimony• What your relationship with money may reveal about your heartIf this conversation encourages or challenges you, follow Rich Young & Powerful and share this episode with someone who is thinking more deeply about faith, money, stewardship, and generosity.Invest your life into something that will outlive it.

Ep.95 - Tithing is the Floor, Not the Ceiling

Most people associate exponential growth with investing, technology, or business. But what could happen if your generosity—and your faith—began growing exponentially too?In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair explores the biblical principle of sowing and reaping found in 2 Corinthians 9. God provides seed not simply for us to consume or store away, but for us to sow into work that advances His Kingdom and blesses others.Andrew explains why tithing is not the finish line of generosity. It is the foundation—the first tenth, the floor rather than the ceiling. He also shares practical ways families can begin moving toward a full tithe without allowing every raise, promotion, tax refund, or cost-of-living adjustment to become another lifestyle upgrade.In this episode, you’ll discover:• Why financial uncertainty can reveal where we place our trust• The difference between consuming the seed and sowing it• How generosity strengthens faith and obedience• Practical ways to increase your giving over time• How to divide raises between giving, saving, and lifestyle• Why tithing prepares your heart for greater generosityEverything we have is first a gift from God. The question is not simply how much we possess, but how faithfully we are using what He has entrusted to us.Follow Rich Young & Powerful for more conversations about biblical generosity, faithful stewardship, purpose, wealth, and building a legacy that outlives you.Share this episode with someone who wants to become more intentional about giving and remember to invest your life into something that will outlive it.

Ep.94 - Biblical Stewardship: Money, Purpose, and the Life of Joseph

What changes when you stop seeing yourself as the owner of your wealth, time, talents, and opportunities?Biblical stewardship begins with one foundational truth: everything we have belongs to God. We are not owners; we are entrusted managers. That changes the question from, “How little do I need to give?” to, “How much do I need to live on so I can use the rest for God’s purposes?”In this episode, Andrew McNair examines the life of Joseph and the lessons his story teaches us about faithful stewardship. Joseph remained diligent through betrayal, slavery, false accusations, imprisonment, and eventually extraordinary influence. Whether he was serving in Potiphar’s house, managing responsibilities in prison, or preparing an entire nation for famine, Joseph faithfully used what God placed in his hands.You’ll discover how stewardship:• Brings greater order and value to what has been entrusted to us• Gives peace and confidence to the people who depend on us• Requires faithfulness even when no one appears to be watching• Continues through adversity, disappointment, and unexpected detours• Calls us to obey God and trust Him with the final resultsYour possessions, influence, relationships, abilities, and wealth are only in your hands for a season. The question is not simply what you have accumulated, but how faithfully you are using it for God’s glory and the good of others.To learn more about Andrew’s personal stewardship journey, pick up a copy of The Giving Crisis through the link in the show notes.Follow Rich Young & Powerful for more conversations about biblical generosity, purposeful wealth, philanthropy, faith, and building a legacy that will outlive you.Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.

Ep.93 - Protection, Liquidity & Return

Every investment comes with a tradeoff.You may want protection from loss, immediate access to your money, and an attractive rate of return—but no single investment can fully provide all three.In this episode, Andrew McNair introduces the PLR framework: Protection, Liquidity, and Return. These are the three questions every investor should consider before putting money to work.Andrew explains:• Why avoiding all risk can create risks of its own• How inflation can quietly reduce your purchasing power• Why liquidity creates both flexibility and opportunity• When holding too much cash may work against your long-term goals• How the pursuit of higher returns can lead investors into costly decisions• Why diversification is essential when balancing protection, liquidity, and growthYou’ll also hear how fear and greed can influence investment decisions and why a wise strategy begins by understanding what you are gaining and what you are giving up.Because the goal is not simply to earn the highest possible return.

What if greed isn't about how much you have... but about what has your heart?Most people don't think they're greedy.Yet Scripture warns about greed more often than many sins we openly condemn because it's subtle, contagious, and incredibly difficult to recognize in ourselves.In this episode, Andrew McNair unpacks the five hidden dangers of greed, why our culture celebrates it, and how it quietly robs us of joy, generosity, and trust in God.If you've ever wondered why "more" never feels like enough—or how to cultivate a life marked by purpose instead of possessions—this conversation will challenge you in the best way.In this episode:• What greed really is (it's more than loving money)• Why greed is so difficult to recognize in ourselves• How comparison and consumer culture fuel discontentment• Why Scripture treats greed as a serious spiritual danger• The surprising cure that leads to lasting joy and freedomIf this episode encouraged you, please follow the Rich Young & Powerful Podcast and leave a review.

Ep.88 - The 4 Kinds of Investments Every Wise Steward Should Understand

Before you can invest wisely, you need to understand what you’re actually investing in.In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair breaks down the four major investment worlds: financial institutions, insurance companies, Wall Street, and real estate. Each one offers something different—but none of them offer everything.Using the lens of protection, liquidity, and return, Andrew explains why every investment has strengths, limitations, and risks. Banks may offer safety and access, but limited growth. Insurance products may offer protection, but often require patience and time. The stock market may offer strong long-term return potential, but comes with volatility. Real estate may build wealth, but it requires work, wisdom, and careful stewardship.This conversation is not about falling in love with one investment. It’s about learning how to think clearly, diversify wisely, and avoid being influenced by someone else’s financial agenda.You’ll also hear biblical wisdom from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes on saving, diversification, prudence, and investing with a long-term perspective.If you want to build wealth with wisdom—not hype—this episode will help you understand how to evaluate investments through the lens of stewardship, purpose, and legacy.Episode Highlights.• Why every investment can be understood through protection, liquidity, and return• The role banks and credit unions play in your financial life• Why emergency funds belong in safe, liquid accounts• What to understand before locking money into insurance-based investments• Why Wall Street offers return potential but requires emotional discipline• The truth about real estate investing that gurus often leave out• Biblical principles for saving, diversification, and wise investing• Why no investment has protection, liquidity, and return all at once• How to avoid falling in love with one investment world• Why wise stewardship requires balance, patience, and discernmentFind more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.
