But what if stewardship season wasn\u2019t about fundraising at all? What if, instead of raising funds, stewardship season focused on making disciples? In this webinar, Alan Wildes from Generis will suggest just such a way to approach stewardship season \u2026 a way that focuses on our prayer life, our relationship with God, and our spiritual need to give. Come learn about the difference between fundraising and biblical generosity, and leave inspired to spark a renewal of giving in your congregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Alan Wildes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nccumc.org\/leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/files\/2020\/08\/Alan-Wildes-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4051\" width=\"256\" height=\"171\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan views his role as a generosity coach to be one that empowers.
