Teaching my kids about tithing when money is tight
So my wife and I have been struggling with this. We want to teach our kids the importance of giving to church and honoring God with our finances, but honestly some months we're barely making it work. My 8 year old asked me why we put money in the offering plate when we need groceries. I didn't have a good answer ready. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you teach biblical stewardship when you're living paycheck to paycheck?
This is real. My wife and I had to get honest that tithing 10% when you're barely covering rent feels impossible. We started smaller and worked up instead of forcing it. God knows your heart and your budget.
