When Giving Feels Like Losing :: Return to Me :: Alvin Brown

What do you do when giving—your time, money, or energy—feels more like losing than gaining?

In this message, When Giving Feels Like Losing, Pastor Alvin walks through a familiar tension many of us face: the fear that if we give too much, we won’t have enough left for ourselves.

Whether it’s generosity, obedience, or simply trusting God with what matters most, it’s easy to wonder if it’s really worth it. Drawing from Malachi 3, Pastor Alvin brings that question to the surface and offers a surprising response of neither guilt nor pressure.

It’s about learning to see that God isn’t after things. He’s after our hearts. And when we trust Him, especially when it feels risky, we begin to discover something deeper and more life-giving than we could ever have expected or imagined.

If you’ve ever felt like giving might leave you empty, hit play. This one’s for you.
