    Ep.78 - Should You Tithe to Charity Instead of the Church? A Biblical Perspective on Giving
    Mar 20 2026
    Is giving to charity the same as tithing?

    Many generous people support meaningful causes, fund important work, and make a real difference in the world…but quietly neglect the one place Scripture prioritizes first—the local church.

    In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair walks through what the Bible actually says about where your tithe belongs and why this isn’t just a financial decision, but a spiritual one.

    He unpacks three challenges for anyone who gives to charity in place of the church:

    • What God says about the tithe and the “storehouse”
    • How good intentions can subtly replace God’s priorities
    • Why your motives in giving matter more than you think

    This is not about discouraging generosity, it's about aligning it.

    Because giving isn’t just about impact… it’s about obedience.
    Not just about doing good… but honoring God’s design.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with where your giving should go, this conversation will bring clarity and conviction.

    Tithe faithfully. Give generously. Live with purpose.

  • Ep.77 - Stewardship Basics

    Ep.77 - Stewardship Basics
    Mar 13 2026
    What happens when stewardship is absent?

    In 2009, a woman unknowingly threw away her mother’s life savings — $1 million hidden inside an old mattress. A simple act of carelessness led to irreversible loss. While that story sounds extreme, the average lifetime earnings in America are around $2 million. The real question is this:

    How are you stewarding yours?

    In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew unpacks the biblical foundation of stewardship — not as a financial tactic, but as a spiritual discipline. Drawing from Paul’s warning in 1 Timothy 6, we explore why the love of money is so dangerous, why Scripture sometimes tells us to fight… and sometimes to flee, and how wise stewardship protects our hearts from greed while shaping a legacy that honors God.

    You’ll discover how stewardship is:

    • Righteousness in action
    • Godliness in action
    • Faith in action
    • Love in action
    • Endurance in action
    • Gentleness in action

    This is a deep and practical conversation for high achievers who want more than financial success — who want purpose, clarity, and eternal impact. If success has been loud in your life lately… this episode is a quiet recalibration.

  • Ep.76 - Tim Tebow: The Cross Changes Everything

    Ep.76 - Tim Tebow: The Cross Changes Everything
    Feb 27 2026
    On this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Tim Tebow joins Andrew McNair for a conversation that goes far beyond sports. It’s about stewardship. Calling. Compassion.
    And why the cross must never become familiar. Tim shares the story behind his new book If the Tree Could Speak—a powerful gift book that retells the crucifixion through the eyes of the tree that became the cross. Together, Andrew and Tim unpack what it means to stay tender to Calvary, to fight comparison with gratitude, and to use success for something that lasts. This conversation will challenge you—and re-center what truly matters. Because the greatest ROI isn’t return on investment. It’s return on impact.

    Highlights:

    • Why Tim wrote If the Tree Could Speak—and what he hopes it awakens in believers
    • “The cross used to be a symbol of shame… now it’s a symbol of hope”
    • Where Tim’s gratefulness comes from and why comparison steals joy
    • What stewardship really means (it’s more than finances)
    • Return on investment vs. return on impact
    • The calling moment that launched the Tim Tebow Foundation
    • Why comfort and compassion can’t coexist
    • Human trafficking vs. exploitation and why clarity matters
    • The unseen role of givers and prayer warriors as the “backbone” of ministry

    Key Scriptures Referenced:
    Luke 19:40 – “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out”
    Jeremiah 29:11
    Ephesians 2:10
    Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25)
    Feeding of the 5,000 (loaves and fishes)

    Ep.74 - Tithing is 10 Percent of What?
    Jan 30 2026
    Tithing Is 10% of What?
    What exactly should you tithe on? Your paycheck is obvious, but what about bonuses, business income, side gigs, investments, or items you sell?
    In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair addresses one of the most debated questions in Christian personal finance: What qualifies as income when it comes to tithing? Drawing from Scripture and real-world financial examples, Andrew explains what tithing is, how the Bible defines firstfruits, and why generosity was never meant to be reduced to loopholes or minimum requirements.
    From Leviticus to the early Church in Acts, this episode challenges the mindset of “What’s the least I can give and still be obedient?” and replaces it with a better question: How little can I live on so I can give more? Andrew walks through practical scenarios including business revenue, financial gifts, bonuses, capital gains, and selling assets, offering clear guidance rooted in biblical wisdom.

    Episode Highlights:




    • What the Bible means by tithing and firstfruits





    • How to think about income, bonuses, and miscellaneous money

    • When to tithe on business income, investments, and profits

    • A simple rule of thumb for deciding what qualifies as income

  • Ep.72 - Paying It Forward is Wrong

    Ep.72 - Paying It Forward is Wrong
    Dec 12 2025
    "Paying it forward" may feel like kindness in action, but is it really generosity the way God defines it? In this thought-provoking episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges the viral trend of one-time, feel-good giving and offers a biblical lens on what true generosity looks like. From drive-thru pay chains to anonymous meal buying, Andrew explores why these gestures, while well-intentioned, often miss the mark. You'll learn:
    • Why paying it forward usually helps people who don’t actually need help
    • How Jesus teaches us to give in secret—not for attention
    • Why real generosity is a habit, not a heroic one-off
    • If you want to move beyond cultural generosity and into a lifestyle of obedient, sacrificial giving, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
    Listen now—and discover how to invest your life into something that will outlive it.

    Nov 21 2025
    In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair is joined by Wesley Huff—Christian apologist, historian, and speaker—to explore one of the most important questions of our faith: Can we really trust the Bible?
