Generous AND Extravagant

WINTER 2025

The 2004 movie, Super Size Me, opened with a montage of a stretch limousine-Hummer, a gaudy mansion, a Walmart Supercenter, and a baseball field sized “World’s Biggest Cookie”. If you ever ordered a meal at McDonald’s and then got it supersized you know where this is going. Somewhere along the way generous got maligned by way – too – much!

Of course if you’ve ever mumbled sarcastically under your breath, “aren’t you generous” you’ve likely witnessed someone being stingy or someone who misses the whole point of generosity.

Our Winter 2025 Lifestyle Media Group magazines will help you understand that the nature of God (a nature that can and should be in you) is on a divinely different level that is generous AND extravagant.

Sure God wants you to be fit, go to amazing places, eat well and know the joys of adventure. God wants to give it all to you generously for good reason: So that you can be the conduit of God’s goodness to others. Persist when it’s painful. Venture where you wouldn’t. Obediently sew into others even when…?! That’s generous. Then wander beyond your usual and find your purpose outside your ordinary. That’s extravagant.

Generous AND extravagant – is who God wants you to be. Beyond what’s obvious to you, discover what God’s put in you that you didn’t even know you had – THEN be especially generous with that.
