Ep. 5: Money, Money, Money (First Paychecks + Lessons on Giving) - a podcast by Yen Cho

Starting a job meant one new thing in my life: cash flowww! And with money comes responsibility. Something that I always saw around me but never understood too much growing up in the church was giving, offering, and tithing. I knew that Christians gave to church, but I didn't know why. Now that I've started a job with an income, I needed to figure out what the significance of giving was and how I should go about it. This new issue became magnified when my dad suggested I offer up my whole first income as an offering. But what if I didn't want to? And where in the Bible does God even command that? So many questions and not enough answers were stored up in my head. So, I did some research in order to educate myself and maybe even bring some insight into giving of firstfruits, the significance of offering in the Old Testament (Moses's time), and what God has commanded 21st century Christians (like myself) to do with regards to offering/giving. Along the way, I let you guys in the failures in my giving history and what I decided to do with my first paycheck. So, join me as I do some digging on the Internet, in the Bible, and in my own heart, as I go on a quest to answer these question on what to do when we start experiencing cash flow.
