My oldest is at that age where he's getting his first job and asking questions about money. I want to teach him about giving back and being generous but also being wise with what God has given us. How do you all approach teaching your kids about generosity and faith when it comes to finances? Looking for practical ways to lead by example here.

My kid just got his first job too and we're having similar talks. The key is making it their choice with good information rather than forcing it. Once he understands the why it makes sense to him.

Good on you for having this conversation early. I'd tie it to his first job and help him see that tithing teaches stewardship and generosity before he gets too attached to his paycheck.

This is a great teaching moment honestly. We started with the concept that tithing is about giving back, not just about the money itself. Helped my oldest see the bigger picture.
