From 20 cents to $2200: Adventures in Tithing

Last updated on: December 9, 2015 at 5:28 pm   By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on Charitable Giving. Read other perspectives here.   When I was a little kid, I got an allowance of a dollar.

Last updated on: December 8, 2015 at 10:28 am   By Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

Last updated on: November 24, 2015 at 4:31 pm   By Mission:Work

By Timothy Askew; reprinted from Inc. with the kind permission of Timothy Askew. Lonely. God, that word sounds pathetic. It’s not the first thing that comes to mind when pondering the entrepreneur. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve read any articles specifically about loneliness and the entrepreneur, yet I believe it’s a reality that exists ubiquitously. I know it certainly exists for me. Most folks think of owners and CEOs as hard driving, autonomous, tough and energetic. Kind of mini-masters... Read more
