Make an IMPACT
The Bible teaches us that tithing is an act of obedience and that we should trust God with every aspect of our lives, which also includes our finances. Sacrificing a portion of our income helps us look beyond ourselves and makes us more aware of the needs of others. We offer many ways for you to make an IMPACT and give back. Take a look at some of the options below

What actually makes a man strong?
Who was the strongest man in the Bible?
Samson.
Strength isn't measured by what a man can conquer around him.Strength is measured by what he can conquer within him.
David Goggins
The greatest battle a man will ever fight isn't the battle AROUND him. It's the battle WITHIN him.
David didn't destroy Saul…Saul destroyed Saul.
Whatever rules your heart... eventually shapes your decisions.
If your feelings become your master...They will eventually become your downfall.
If you're constantly looking for the approval of people... You'll eventually stop living for the approval of God.
Something other than God was ruling Saul's heart.
Strength ISN’T measured by what a man can conquer around him. Strength IS measured by what he can conquer within him.
The greatest battle you'll ever fight is the battle for your own heart.
Love… Joy… Peace… Patience… Kindness… Goodness… Faithfulness… Gentleness… Self-control.
Strength isn't measured by what a man can conquer around him.Strength is measured by what he can conquer within him.

Action Steps:
You don't win the war inside with one big decision. You win it by paying attention to what is shaping your heart every single day.
1. Name What’s Driving You.
Take five quiet minutes and ask yourself: What's been driving more of my decisions lately than I want to admit? Just be honest enough to name it.
- Fear?
- Approval?
- Anger?
- Comfort?
- Comparison?
- Success?
- Insecurity?
- Don't fix it yet.
2. Give God The Driver’s Seat
Before you make one important decision this week...
Stop and ask: "Am I making this decision based on what I feel... or on what I know is right?" Then ask Jesus to lead you instead of your fear, anger, insecurity, or need for approval.
And if you're still figuring out what you believe about Jesus...Try asking Him: "Jesus, if You're real... show me what it looks like to trust You with this."
3. Have one honest conversation this week.
Find someone you trust and tell them...What's actually going on inside you.
- Tell them where you're struggling...
- What you're afraid of...
- Or where you know something needs to change.
Because no man wins the war inside by fighting it alone.
