What About Tithing? | What About 2.0 Series

Tithing can feel difficult to talk about because so many people have used it as a tool for creating guilt and shame. But in reality, giving to the church is just about coming together to care for the people in our communities who need our support. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott talks through some of the history of tithing in the Bible, and he reminds us that no matter how much or how little you give, you always have a place at the table.
