In this bold, uncompromising, and deeply biblical episode, Ryan Johnson tackles one of the most emotionally charged, misunderstood, and avoided subjects in modern Christianity — tithing. Is tithing biblical today? Is it a command, a covenant, or a control mechanism? Is 10% a rule, a starting point, or something deeper?
This episode is not a fundraising appeal, not a manipulation tactic, and not designed to shame believers. Instead, it is a discipleship-focused, Scripture-anchored conversation that addresses money as Jesus did — as a matter of lordship, trust, stewardship, and heart formation.
Ryan walks through:
- The biblical origins of tithing before the Law
- What Jesus actually said about money and obedience
- Why grace doesn't abolish generosity — it transforms it
- The difference between discipline and devotion
- Why money exposes fear, trust, identity, and allegiance
- How unresolved wounds around finances affect spiritual formation
- Why the local church still matters, even when it's imperfect
- And the hard but healing truth: giving reveals who truly reigns in your heart
This is an episode for those who are tired of slogans and ready for Scripture, maturity, and honest discipleship.
