Not the Norm is an effort to challenge believers to check their hearts. The norm is for a person to give a little over two percent of their disposable income to charitable causes. This may be the norm, but it’s not a God-honoring statistic. Not the Norm is not about your money, it’s about your heart.
On this page, you’ll find resources that will inform, inspire and even entertain as you travel down the adventurous path of tithing and generosity.
Why Not the Norm? Because normal isn’t working.
An ongoing conversation on how your gifts make a difference every week
It all begins with you telling a story each week of what God is doing with your tithes and offerings. Below you’ll find three video examples and nine printable pdf examples of OfferStories. These are just samples to get you started – to get your mind thinking of specific ministry stories in your church. Sharing your stories before the offering will provide a great opportunity for on-going stewardship education within your church. Every church has a budget. Every church takes an offering. Every church can share an OfferStory.
Tithing is the only area in which God invites you to test Him (Mal 3:8-10). Below are testimonies of those who have put God to the test and found Him to be true to His promise. You are free to download or share them via social media.
We’d love to hear your tithing testimony! Please use the form to share your story. You’ll be blessed as you share and God will use your story to bless and challenge others.
