One of the best parts of having coached over 1,200 Senior Pastors over the years is that many of them keep in touch.

That means that from time to time I get emails from pastors all over the country sharing how God is at work in their churches, lives are being changed, and the Kingdom is expanding!

Recently I got one such email from CLI Trainer (and multi-time Coaching Alum) Jamey Stuart, Senior Pastor of Believers Church in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Jamey shared how God is using my new book, The Generosity Ladder combined with a three month “Tithe Challenge” to increase giving and grow more disciples in his church.

In fact, here’s what he said about the results:

I laid out the challenge during our Accelerate Series in January and our giving has exploded!

This year we sought a 17% increase in giving… seemed like a stretch, but we are up at least 20% if not more!

Our attendance is also up… God is up to something here. Can’t wait to be back in coaching in the fall!

And he gave me permission to share the audio of the message he preached on Generosity with you:

Great job Jamey – Go God!
