Summary
Is tithing just an outdated command from the Old Testament… or is it still relevant for believers today? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges one of the most common misconceptions about giving and gets to the heart of what tithing really represents. Through both Old and New Testament examples, he unpacks a powerful truth: Tithing didn’t begin with the law—and it didn’t end with it either. Instead, it’s part of a much bigger story…One rooted in gratitude, worship, and a transformed heart. You’ll discover how: • Tithing existed before the law through Abraham and Jacob • The early church modeled radical generosity far beyond 10% • Jesus affirmed tithing—but challenged the heart behind it • True giving flows from gratitude, not obligation This conversation isn’t about rules. It’s about what your giving says about your heart—and your trust in God. Scripture Referenced • Genesis 14:20 (Abraham tithes before the law) • Genesis 28:20–22 (Jacob’s vow) • Acts 2:45 (The early church’s generosity) • 2 Corinthians 9:7 (Cheerful giving) • Luke 11:42 (Jesus on tithing and the heart) Find more resources at RichYoungPowerful.com/blog .
