Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Mark Comer is the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, a teacher and writer with Practicing the Way, and the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books, including Practicing the Way, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and Live No Lies.

Practicing the Way is a nonprofit that creates spiritual formation resources for churches and small groups learning how to become apprentices of the Way of Jesus. We believe one of the greatest needs of our time is for people to discover how to become lifelong disciples of Jesus. To that end, we help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did through the practices and rhythms he and his earliest followers lived by.

Welcome

“There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.”—Acts 20 v 35

Few of Jesus’ teachings are more radical, counterintuitive, and disorienting to our cultural assumptions than what Jesus has to say about money and generosity. We hear constantly the Western formula of “more money = more happiness.” But Jesus boldly claims that happiness is found not in the accumulation of wealth but in a deeply relational life of giving and love.

We could not be more excited for you to go on this four-session journey of generosity. From a distance, generosity can sound like a hard practice; and it is, at first. But it quickly becomes one of the most joyful of all the practices of Jesus.

Our prayer for the coming weeks is that you begin to discover the great joy Jesus is referring to—not just the good feelings that come from practicing generosity but, ultimately, the joy that comes from participating in the inner life of God himself, the most generous being in all the universe.

May God bless you—richly—as you practice Jesus’ way of joyful generosity. —John Mark Comer and Practicing the Way
