@pastorpauldrees: It’s the New Year, and I’m covering some commonly asked questions about giving. I shy away from giving specific advice about percentages, but giving is so good for the world, and even better for the giver! It helps us have compassion for others, and roots us in relationships instead of accumulation. Both Anna and I are very excited to go to our friend’s wedding in Vietnam, and hope to continue strengthening our relationship by traveling together. I hope these tips on how to be generous in 2026 are helpful! #progressiveclergy #pastorpauldrees #lutheran #ELCA #NewYear

A vacation to Vietnam is FAR from a basic need 🤣.

no one talks about the insane student debt pastors often have to have depending on our denominations.

3 to 6 momths?! Way to make me realize how poor I really am lol. And my family is doing pretty well compared to many! No judgements, I love your work, it just hit my funny bone with the 3 to 6 months fund.

You don't even have to donate money, you can always donate time. Even something as simple as going out and gathering trash from the side of the road, especially in neighborhoods that don't ever get that kind of attention to begin with.

Ive found the zakat (2.5%) to be a sustainable amount to contribute to recurring donations.

notice how he didn't say "make a donation to my/your church" this is why I like you, man... and while I am not Christian and I only know you from your videos, from what I can see, Jesus would have liked you a lot

Pators do sabbaticals differently... Also the Pastor MAY have chosen this path... But His family didn't... The wife deserves a vacation, the kids deserve a vacation... a cruise, that's fine... a camping trip, that's fine... a trip to a different culture, that's great... Now the only problem can be Excess... A vacation once a month... every 6 months maybe... once a year is fine...

I always try to give things or my time rather than money. My time or physical things are harder to be misappropriated

I am not Cristian, but I also have guilt when I get something for myself. I've always reasoned with myself by saying if Im not happy with my life, I cant make others happy with their lives.

this doesn't justify the amount of money mega church pastors keep for themselves (just saying to people who are gonna comment something about that, not commenting to creator)

my baptist parents were pressured into giving every "extra" cent to the church while their house crumbled and their kids didn't get proper medical attention

I particularly love this video because in this video, instead of your character representing a generalized ideological opponent, it feels more like we're getting a peek of an internal struggle.

I know it sounds selfish, but taking care of your mental health is a basic human need too. Enjoy your vacation.

One suggestion I would make would be to focus on mutual and direct aid instead of working with charities. A lot of charities have very high entry barriers for who they will accept to help and a lot of what’s given to the charity goes to things other than the actual work. With mutual and direct aid, you’re able to help the most vulnerable who don’t meet charities’ requirements and every penny goes directly to what they need most.
