## Resource

A lot of generous Christians have a question they have not quite answered for themselves. They want to give faithfully, and they also know tax incentives can change what their giving makes possible. The two impulses often seem to argue with one another. Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker open this episode with that question and work through it carefully, considering both sides.
