What does it look like to leverage the GiveInstead app?

A Day in the Life ...

7:15am
On my way to work. I see Starbucks and start craving that Venti Vanilla Latte. But I think, "I'm a giver like Jesus." So, instead, I touch the GiveInstead icon on my smart phone, type in $6.50, then "Give". I just gave to my default charity instead of buying something I wanted (certainly), but did not need.

While enjoying lunch, I'm scrolling Reels on Facebook, and - surprise! - up pops the standard Ad that just happens to know what I've been looking at recently ... a new pair of suede Vans, $120+tax. They are sweet. Honestly, I already have two pair, "but not THIS color!" I think: "Yeah, I know... What could that money accomplish for the Kingdom in the hands of a strong Christian humanitarian charity?" Answer: Quite a bit. So, I do some quick math and determine that $120+tax = approximately $130. "Yep, I'm going to GiveInstead." And I do with a couple of touches and some Godly resolve.

I reflect as I get ready to hit the sack. "I gave my favorite charity $136.50 today. Cool. I wonder if I can top that tomorrow..." Selah.
