The Generosity Monk, a Baseball-Loving Farm Boy
Dr. Gary Hoag, known as "The Generosity Monk," may not wear a monk's robe or embrace a vow of silence, but he finds deep fulfillment in spending solitary time with the Lord and is dedicated to empowering ministries worldwide through Christian generosity.
Discover how he became known as “The Generosity Monk” on the Cedarville Stories Podcast.
Gary is a baseball-loving Ohio farm boy and graduate of Cedarville University. His goal as a young man was to be successful in business and have season tickets for the Cleveland Indians (now known as the Cleveland Guardians), just like his grandfather. God had different plans.
Gary was called into ministry, first in Christian higher education at Biola University, Colorado Christian University, and Denver Seminary, where he learned the value of holding his plans and possessions loosely. Trusting in the Lord's blessings became his intent, purpose and focus. Though he never secured those coveted Indians season tickets, Gary's obedience to God resulted in an unexpected blessing — annual tickets to the World Series!
He has generously shared that gift with more than 1000 baseball fans and has seen God work through the relationships built in the stands.
As the CEO and president of Global Trust Partners, Gary acts as “a conduit of the Lord’s blessings and a delivery boy with a message from God.” Through teaching on stewardship, he strengthens churches and ministries worldwide.
Gary is also a prolific author, a consummate family man, and a steadfast follower of Christ. Catch his infectious joy by listening to his Cedarville Story.
