They’re joined by a variety of guests, including pastors, financial advisors, radically generous givers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and nonprofit leaders to explore one central question: How do we best steward God’s wealth? On The Finish Line Podcast, you’ll hear challenging and inspirational stories of tremendous generosity. You’ll also learn from experts in multiple fields about topics like setting a financial finish line, giving efficiently and effectively, and teaching generosity to your children. More than anything, though, you’ll see how God is constantly at work redeeming the world He created and loves.

    Kristin Hammett, VP at the Signatry, on Family Alignment Over Agreement in Giving (Ep. 174)
    Jan 19 2026
    Raised on a central Missouri farm, Kristin Hammett grew up in a family that loved Jesus and lived out steady generosity, even amid the financial uncertainties of farming life. Watching her parents faithfully give a tithe planted early seeds, but it was during college that she made a deeper commitment to Christ, a decision that quietly set the trajectory for everything that followed. After college, she entered a sales role with a Fortune 50 company, surrounded by benefits and success, yet she began to sense that God might be inviting her into something more than selling consumer goods. After a season as a stay-at-home mom, she discovered a growing desire to see how her professional skills might serve Kingdom purposes. That curiosity led her to become the first part time development director at a local pregnancy center, where God reshaped her understanding of fundraising as ministry, connecting donors to the doers and inviting people to join Him where He is already working. That journey eventually opened the door to joining The Signatry, helping donors steward all God has entrusted to them for Kingdom impact. As Vice President of Family Generosity Services at The Signatry, Kristin has spent her career helping families move from reactive giving to intentional stewardship rooted in faith. Drawing from deep experience on both the nonprofit and givers sides, she now guides families towards alignment, trust, and faithfulness in how they move towards intentional generosity together. Major Topics Include: Generosity as discipline, then joyful invitationStewarding all assets, not just cashFundraising as ministry and relationshipConnecting donors and doers in God’s workEvaluating impact above overhead in givingUnderstanding cause dynamics and realistic impact outcomesTrust and partnership between givers and ministriesThinking through non-cash giftsAlignment over agreement in family generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “God has all the resources that He needs to fund His work. My role is to connect the resources He’s entrusted to people with the work He’s already doing.”“Impact needs to come before overhead.”“If we’re only asking people to give from cash, we’re really not asking them to steward all that God has entrusted to them.”“Let’s begin to change the conversation, not just about cash, but about all of their assets, and help them understand how those are an opportunity for generosity.”“When you realize you’re connecting the donors and the doers, that’s a pretty incredible place to be.”“You’re not trying to get something from someone. You’re inviting them to join God where He’s already at work.”“In a family, alignment is much more important than agreement.”“If you want everyone to give to exactly what you want to give to, that’s a top-down approach, and it rarely creates enthusiasm.”“If you hold it open-handed and prioritize alignment over agreement, you’ll often find much more joy and engagement.”“Donors are operating in a currency of trust. That trusted partnership is absolutely critical.”“When there’s a trusted partnership between the giver and the organization, God does something formative in both.”“Fundraising is ministry. Anytime you’re engaging someone around their resources, their finances, and their heart, that’s ministry.”“We need to dissolve the barrier between where the ministry happens and where the money comes in, and realize it’s all ministry.”“God doesn’t need our money. He wants our hearts. And that’s really, at the end of the day, the message of generosity.”“Generosity is not just for the ultra high net worth or those making a lot of money, it’s for everyone. God is not interested in the zeros. He’s interested in obedience.”“We’re stewarding our whole life, not just our financial resources, because He wants our heart.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW The Signatry (see our interviews with founder, Bill High, and CEO, Steve French here) Mission IncreaseNational Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills)The Giver and the Gift by Peter Greer & David Weekley (see our interview with author Peter Greer here)Family Generosity Guides Nonprofit blogs: Major Donor Insight: They are People, TooEngage Donors by Engaging Their Families The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Malachi 3:10 | Testing God in Giving Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

  • A Map for the Generous Life, Introducing the Applied Generosity Podcast (Ep. 173)

    A Map for the Generous Life, Introducing the Applied Generosity Podcast (Ep. 173)
    Jan 12 2026
    On the Finish Line Podcast, we have always believed in the power of stories. Over hundreds of conversations, we have seen how God patiently draws people into generosity across an entire lifetime, often through unexpected paths. Yet for many, these stories also surface an honest question: “What does this mean for me, and where is God calling me next?” In this special episode, fellow Finish Line board members David Campaigne from Blue Trust and Matt Mancinelli from Generous Giving help us introduce our most significant development since the launch of the Finish Line Pledge: The Applied Generosity Podcast. Each story we’ve shared in the last few years has been shaped by unique calling, personal surrender, and profound steps of faith. Yet over time, patterns have emerged. While no two stories are the same, many givers find themselves crossing the same terrain, wrestling with similar questions, fears, and decisions along the way. Applied Generosity was created to help make sense of that shared landscape, exploring seven dimensions of generosity that repeatedly show up across the journeys we have heard. It provides a map, helping bring orientation, language, and clarity to where God may already be at work in your own life and where He may be inviting a next step. If you’ve been inspired by the stories you’ve heard on Finish Line Podcast, but long for clearer discernment about the next step in your own journey, then Applied Generosity was specifically made for you. QUOTES TO REMEMBER David: “Generosity is a journey, like life is a journey. You plant a seed, you water it, but ultimately it’s God who makes things grow.”Matt: “We’re being invited into being more like Jesus as we give.”David: “God doesn’t need our money; what He ultimately wants is our heart.”Cody: “Some of the largest obstacles to living generously are fear and greed, and these are both addressed by answering the question, ‘how much is enough?’”Matt: “If I see an opportunity to bless somebody in a way that would boost their faith and I can come alongside them, that’s when I’m fired up to give.”David: “I want to know that my giving, whether to an individual or an organization, is going to draw people to Jesus.”Kealan: “Generosity is one of the strongest means by which God enables me to trust Him.”David: “How can we leverage the currency of that which is passing away into the currency of that which will endure forever?”Kealan: “Applied generosity is simply naming the shared landscape of the the generous life and providing some definition to it so we can see the whole picture and figure out where that next right step is in our own journey.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Applied GenerosityDavid Campaigne, Financial Advisor at Ronald Blue Trust (see our past interview here)Heather Tuininga, Founder of 10|10 Strategies (see our past interview here)Matt Mancinelli, Managing Director at Generous Giving (see our past interview here) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman)Ronald Blue Trust (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue)The Treasure Principle (see our interview with author Randy Alcorn)God and Money (see our interviews with co-authors Greg Baumer and John Cortines)Museum of the BibleHope International (see our interview with founder, Jeff Rutt or CEO, Peter Greer)The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 | God Makes Things Grow Luke 16:10a | Faithful in Little and Much “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, 1 Timothy 6:17-19 | True Riches As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

  • Michael Blue, Director of Discipleship at the Ron Blue Institute, on the Personal Journey of Surrender (Ep. 172)

    Michael Blue, Director of Discipleship at the Ron Blue Institute, on the Personal Journey of Surrender (Ep. 172)
    Jan 5 2026
    Michael Blue serves as Director of Discipleship and former President of the Ron Blue Institute, and his life reflects a steady journey of learning to trust God with open hands. Raised in a home shaped by biblical financial stewardship, Michael developed strong habits around money early on. Yet it was in his thirties, amid professional success and financial security, that God exposed a deeper restlessness. What appeared stable on the surface revealed an inner hollowness, leading Michael and his family into a season of prayer, surrender, and renewed reflection on what faithful obedience truly means. In his current role, Michael focuses on forming biblical and practical financial wisdom in the next generation, particularly among high school and college students. He has also helped pioneer the 9:23 Fellowship, a discipleship journey that invites believers to take up their cross daily and follow Jesus in every area of life, including how they steward money, grow in community, and trust God’s provision. Michael’s calling is to help believers align their finances with wholehearted discipleship, viewing stewardship as worship and generosity as freedom rooted in trust. This episode creates space to rethink money, faith, and obedience in ways that feel both convicting and hopeful. Major Topics Include: Learning to live openhandedlyThinking through savings as a giverRelying on God for provisionEngaging younger generations through the Ron Blue InstituteHelping the Church recognize and overcome greed and covetousness Four H’s of biblical stewardship for college studentsThe difference between “bread” and “seed”Flourishing together in communityLearning to be a good receiverStretching your faith through steps of generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Giving ought to be joyful and saving ought to be purposeful, but if it’s just rote obedience, you can lose the heart behind it.”“God delights in inviting us to participate in His story.”“Stewardship is managing our money for the glory of God.”“Our capacity to meet people in their time of need all comes down to our margin of time and money.”“Whenever we feel like God gives us more, more often than not, it’s seed for sowing.”“The most generous people are the least fearful people I know. They’re not wracked with anxiety about providing for them in the future.”“We were made to flourish together in community.”“We’re all created to be both givers and receivers, so a healthy church is one where I can both give and receive.”“The thing that drives us to a life of continued generosity is hungering after who God is, what he’s done in our lives, and how we can grow nearer to HIm.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Ron Blue Institute (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue)The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard StearnsInternational Justice Mission (IJM)Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman)The Finish Line Community Facebook GroupThe Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 2 Corinthians 8-9 | The Macedonian Church Matthew 6:33 | Seek First the Kingdom But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
