What Is An Estate Design? The Step Before You Ever Call an Attorney

What is a Donor Advised Fund?

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 22:53

What exactly is a donor-advised fund, and why are more Christians using one as part of their stewardship journey? In this episode of The Smarter Generosity podcast, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker unpack the purpose and practical benefits of donor-advised funds (DAFs), exploring how they can simplify giving, maximize charitable impact, and create space for smarter generosity. Along the way, they address common misconceptions, discuss the importance of values alignment in charitable giving, and share a powerful lesson from Hezekiah's tunnel that illustrates how believers can protect and direct the resources God has entrusted to them.

Whether you're new to donor-advised funds or looking for ways to better align your finances with your faith, this conversation offers practical insight into bringing stewardship, generosity, and spiritual purpose together.

Is it Okay to Give Because of Tax Incentives?

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 19:59

A lot of generous Christians have a question they have not quite answered for themselves. They want to give faithfully, and they also know tax incentives can change what their giving makes possible. The two impulses often seem to argue with one another. Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker open this episode with that question and work through it carefully, considering both sides.

Why Does the Bible Talk About Money So Much?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 23:12

What if the reason Jesus talks about money so often has nothing to do with rules?

The Bible addresses wealth, possessions, and giving more than almost any other topic, and most of us assume that's because God wants something from us. In this conversation, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker dig into what's actually going on beneath the question.

They unpack why generosity feels so personal (and sometimes offensive), the three places in the human heart that money tends to expose, and what Jesus' compassion for the rich young ruler reveals about His real intent. Along the way, they trace the ownership mindset back to the garden, and ask why Jesus never once mentions the tithe in the New Testament.

If you've ever wrestled with how much is enough, this episode is for you.

What is Smarter Generosity?

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, April 23, 2026 • Duration 20:16

Most of us treat generosity like one item on a spiritual checklist, somewhere between prayer and Bible reading. But what if it was never meant to sit in a box at all? In this first episode of The Smarter Generosity Podcast, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker sit down to ask a question that reframes everything: What if generosity isn't something you do, but someone you become?

The conversation moves from the mission of Cru Foundation, founded in 1972, to help accelerate the Great Commission, into a deeper exploration of what happens when believers stop thinking of themselves as owners and start living as stewards.

Key Takeaways

Generosity is best understood as an overflow of a life connected to Christ, not a discipline performed in isolation.
The fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control, are all facets of one life that a generous person consistently reflects.
Moving from an ownership mindset to a stewardship mindset brings genuine freedom and relieves the pressure of trying to control what belongs to God.
About 80% of the conversation around faithful giving centers on the "why," the heart, the purpose, the vision, and when that foundation is in place, the "how" becomes easier and even joyful.
Cru Foundation exists to serve believers as a full-service public foundation, helping them unleash the full potential of their giving for the benefit of the body of Christ.
