I recently lent my voice to the illuminating work, “The Trojan Horse of Tithing” by Jonathan Brenneman. This book slices through the fog around traditional tithing teachings with a sharp biblical and historical critique.
Narrating Brenneman’s thorough analysis was not just an assignment but a mission, I’ve been in situations where I’ve had abundance and tithed, as well as in situations where in my lack I’ve tithed and faced… more lack.
I’ve also not tithed from my abundance, and not tithed when I lacked, and seen financial breakthrough that seemed to contradict the idea that if you’re struggling with your finances, it must because you owe “back tithe” or something.
Why This Topic Has Mattered to Me
Having lived on the mission field for many years, I’ve wrestled with this kind of stuff, and frankly, Jonathan’s book is a breath of fresh air as he tackles some of the things many believers struggle to ask questions about out loud without fear of getting judged by other sheep.
This book peels back layers of misunderstandings and boldly questions the cookie-cutter tithing doctrines that misalign with the pure Gospel message.
Jonathan doesn’t just skim the surface; he delves deep, challenging the sneaky distortions that have slithered into mainstream Christian thought. His scriptural breakdown and historical insights reveal why tithing, as often preached, doesn’t jive with New Testament principles of voluntary, Spirit-led giving.
Feeling uncomfortable with the tithing pressure at church? This audiobook might just be what you’re searching for. As the voice behind the curtain, I’ve endeavored to make Brenneman’s pivotal insights resonate in every chapter, ensuring it hits home for all listeners.
