Motivation Part 3 | The Soul Motivations

What happens when generosity flows from deep conviction?

In this episode, we explore the soul givers—those whose generosity is rooted in a deep spiritual foundation. These individuals are driven by obedience, connection to the Spirit, and a profound desire to reflect God’s heart through their giving. Their posture is one of surrender, sacrifice, and steadfast faithfulness, often giving in ways that go far beyond their finances.

We focus on two distinct profiles:

• Faithful Stewards – Motivated by obedience and responsibility. These givers are guided by the Word and Spirit, committed to consistent giving through every season. What often begins as simple acts of discipline can lead to radical generosity fueled by trust in God’s provision.

• Compassion Givers – Motivated by love for those who suffer. Often shaped by personal pain or powerful moments of empathy, these givers are drawn toward causes that feel deeply personal. They invest their whole selves—time, talent, and treasure—into specific missions where they feel called to stand in the gap.

We also look honestly at some of the cautions that come with these motivations. But these challenges are met with wisdom and strength when other motivations are integrated over time.

If you identify as a soul giver, you’re part of the spiritual backbone of the generosity movement. Your faithfulness, empathy, and willingness to sacrifice reflect God’s character in powerful ways.
