Need some encouragement: 1. my husband just resigned from his job as it was beginning to give him mental health challenges and even put him in counseling. I am now the only income producing person. 2.I haven’t been tithing in a couple years (mainly bc I moved to seattle and haven’t found a church home…Covid didn’t help). 2. Leaving amazon for a better paying job that God blessed me with, at a great time. I don’t have the margin to tithe but know I need to. If you’ve been in this sitch, advice?

Tithing is also important because it demonstrates that you are putting your trust in God, not yourself or your money. Do you trust God to take care of you as He has promised? Even more important than tithing, can you find a good Bible based church where you live? It's very hard to be a Christian by yourself.

OP I’m in King County - Message me if you would like help getting connected to a local church. I love my east side church and I know several solid churches around Seattle. Be encouraged that God knows your heart and He is not mad at you.

It’s not the amount but the attitude of tithing / heart posture that the Lord finds pleasing! Tithing isn’t supposed to be comfortable, but totally understand your situation. Try tithing something small at first ($20? $50?), God will be delighted that you recognize your need for Him even amidst financial stress!

I am not in a church currently, but I still tithe to Christian organizations (ex Sponsor 2 kids thru World Vision, prison ministry, etc). If you’re having a cash flow concerns, one thing you can consider is donating stock to a donor advised fund and then using those funds to tithe. My financial planner at Ron Blue turned me on to that. I donate my longest held stock (some of it at $30/share) and then avoid the capital gains while still meeting my tithing commitments. My DAF is at Schwab. Some Christian organizations have their own DAFs, but I preferred having some flexibility.

Would add that giving is meant to be somewhat painful, but also from the heart. Definitely start small and build up. Maybe start by sacrificing small things. In addition, (and this is my personal opinion) but you also don't need to give all to the church, but could give to charities/causes that you believe in

I am not sure I agree that tithing is meant to be painful. The point of tithing is to rely on the Lord and teach you to be generous- it is to open your hand because our natural inclination is to hoard and money is the perfect substitute for God. The tithe is needed by us for us not by God. The OP seems to be in a tough position and our God is a God of grace. I generally feel that the the tithe is over preached - those who can should be tithing more or double tithing to help those who can’t.

OP - no one can answer this for you. You have the Holy spirit inside you. Ask God to guide you and help you hear His voice. I know it is tough sometimes to hear Him but remember that His yoke is gentle and His burden is light. Abide in Him and He will answer you. You are meant to walk in freedom not guilt and burdened.
