Build, Invest, Give (BIG): A New Strategy
The Power of 3
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
Ecclesiastes 4:12 is a popular verse shared at weddings. And yet applying the power of 3 cords to our businesses and financial resources strengthens another important relationship—with money.
Too often we think of Building, Investing, and Giving (BIG) as three distinct and separate pursuits. As a result, they become siloed obligations rather than wholly integrated endeavors. It doesn't have to be this way. We're supposed to pull from one pocket. That's because God owns it all. He graciously invites us to experience a more fulfilling understanding of how he wants us to support and invest in the people and world around us.
Rediscover the power of these three transformative tools that God has entrusted to you and how they are meant to work together. It's all his, and graciously and lovingly, God has invited you to partner with him in building his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
