True generosity isn’t spontaneous or occasional—it’s the result of consistent, faith-driven habits. Drawing on insights from Scripture, Ellen G. White, and behavioral science, this session explores how regular and systematic giving forms the foundation of a generous life. Research confirms that generosity is best cultivated through repeated practice, planning, and commitment, not impulsive acts. We’ll examine how churches can cultivate a culture of faithful giving, an easily assessable indicator of generosity, and what current data reveal about systematic giving among Seventh-day Adventists worldwide. Participants will be challenged to rethink generosity—not as a single moment of sacrifice, but as a lifelong habit shaped by faith and sustained by intention. In the final moments of Earth’s history, “extreme generosity” will be expected. Are we forming the habits that will prepare us for that day?
