We trace how wealth can hide our need for God, why a single encounter with Jesus rarely brings clear sight, and how desire, discipline, and devotion reshape the way we give. Scripture reframes tithing as a starting point and elevates generosity that pursues justice, mercy, and mission.

• rich young ruler and the shock of wealth 
• two-touch healing as a metaphor for spiritual sight 
• desire, discipline, devotion as a growth path 
• Israel’s three tithes and firstfruits trust 
• why tithing is training wheels, not the goal 
• creating margin and resisting autopilot giving 
• six traits of generous living: gratitude, mission, intentionality, charity, unity, holiness 
• practical next steps toward joyful, planned generosity
