Episode Details

In this episode of Rich, Young and Powerful, Andrew McNair addresses a question many Christians quietly wonder about—but few pastors talk about. What does it mean to give God your first fruits if you're going into debt to do it? Andrew walks through biblical principles from Exodus, Proverbs, and more to explain why tithing on credit is more than just a convenience—it could be costing you and your church more than you realize. Learn why God calls us to stewardship, not shortcuts, and discover practical alternatives to keep your giving aligned with your values—without falling into financial bondage. Episode Highlights:

• First Fruits vs. Last Fruits: Why tithing with a credit card delays your obedience—and how Scripture calls us to give God our first.
• Debt is Bondage: What Proverbs 22:7 teaches about borrowing, and why God doesn’t want His children to tithe from slavery.
• Practical Giving Solutions: Simple, debt-free alternatives like recurring bill pay or ACH transfers that put God first—without hidden costs to you or your church.
