Summary
Tithing Is 10% of What? What exactly should you tithe on? Your paycheck is obvious, but what about bonuses, business income, side gigs, investments, or items you sell? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair addresses one of the most debated questions in Christian personal finance: What qualifies as income when it comes to tithing? Drawing from Scripture and real-world financial examples, Andrew explains what tithing is, how the Bible defines firstfruits, and why generosity was never meant to be reduced to loopholes or minimum requirements. From Leviticus to the early Church in Acts, this episode challenges the mindset of “What’s the least I can give and still be obedient?” and replaces it with a better question: How little can I live on so I can give more? Andrew walks through practical scenarios including business revenue, financial gifts, bonuses, capital gains, and selling assets, offering clear guidance rooted in biblical wisdom. Episode Highlights: What the Bible means by tithing and firstfruits How to think about income, bonuses, and miscellaneous money When to tithe on business income, investments, and profits A simple rule of thumb for deciding what qualifies as income Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog.
