Ep. 399: What’s Going On With Evangelical Giving?

Share

Giving is down among evangelical Christians, according to a new study by Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research.

The study—called The Giving Gap: Changes in Evangelical Generosity— found that 61% of evangelicals say they gave to their church in the last 12 months. That is down 13 percentage points from 2021 when 74% reported giving to their local congregation.

On today’s podcast, we unpack the results of that survey with one of its authors, Mark Driestadt. He’s the president of Infinity Concepts and someone I’ve come to know and respect over the past few years as one of the “wise men” in ministry fundraising, marketing and communications. Here’s our conversation, which we had via zoom last week.

The producer for today’s program is Jeff McIntosh. I’m Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.
