Generosity is something we’re all told to practice. But what if we’ve been thinking about it too narrowly?
What would happen if we chose love, rather than just the tithe, to lead our giving?
Personally, when love became a motivator, it was a mind blowing shift. It was uncomfortable. It involved our famiily. We asked bigger questions. And ultimately rooted us deeper in Christ and Scripture.
But it took a significant financial loss....
What if generosity isn't primarily about how much we give
but about how deeply we love?
Until I didn't.
I thought I understood generosity.
When an alternative investment went south, like really south, so did the “large amounts” I once thought made an impact. I honestly wondered if I was still generous at all.
So I went back to Scripture. And what I discovered completely reshaped my understanding: Generosity was never about the amount. It was, and always is, about the heart.
When I began looking at generosity through the life and teachings of Jesus, I saw something deeper. He calls us to love Him first—and to love others as ourselves. And when we love Him this way, He begins to form us.
The way we see our money.
Our time.
Our possessions.
Our opportunities.
And ultimately, our lives.
Generosity isn't simply something we do. It's something we become.
I believe generosity begins with loving Jesus—not trying harder, measuring what we can afford, or comparing ourselves to others. It starts with knowing Him so deeply that His love naturally shapes how we live.
As His love forms us, we learn to love others as He does: placing them before ourselves. That kind of love is action. It costs us something. Sacrifice is central to following Jesus, and generosity naturally follows.
But this is where the message of Jesus gets uncomfortable. It certainly does for me.
Even in Christian circles, we’re often told to build a comfortable nest egg, protect what we’ve worked for, and give generously within a lifestyle that suits us. Can you feel that tension?
Yet Jesus invites us into something radically different. He asks us to love Him first, love others, and live with open hands. Love like that requires action and sacrifice—because love that costs us something is what most resembles Christ.
And that is worth exploring.
it starts with love.
Everything shifted when I looked at Jesus and realized love was His sole motivator. Once you see that, you can’t look at generosity—or life—the same way again.
What if the Gospel creates people who love so deeply that generosity becomes unavoidable?
My financial loss may have been the catalyst for seeing generosity differently, but I don't believe this discovery was meant to stop with me. My heart is to help women ask better questions about generosity. What if generosity isn't about having more to give? What if it's about becoming more like Jesus?
This is why genHERus exists.
We help define generosity shaped by Christ's example and teachings—to take hold of the life that’s truly life.
We begin with Jesus. His example. His teachings. His invitation to love Him first and others as ourselves. And we believe that as we know Him and love Him more dearly, His love will change the way we live.
in a nutshell
until generosity becomes unavoidable.

If you want to follow Jesus more deeply and discover what His love might ask of you…
You're invited.
Come join me on the journey.
Love Jesus more dearly.
Love others more deeply.
Live generously.
Until generosity becomes unavoidable.
Come see generosity differently.

Hi there! I’m a Lancaster-based homeschool mom of four and am passionate about loving Jesus. I spent years turning a childhood dream of floral design into a thriving luxury wedding business—only to close it at its peak to follow a deeper calling: a journey into His heart for generosity.
genHERus is the heartbeat of my 20-year journey of study, prayer, and reminding my heart of Truth again and again. My passion is helping women see generosity differently—deepening their love for Jesus so fully that living generously becomes practically unavoidable.
I believe in affirming our kids everyday and weekly charcuterie dates with my hubby. When I'm not doing "all the mom things", you can find our family exploring the woods or playing sports together. I am incredibly grateful that God blessed me beyond my wildest dreams with my better half, Jonathan. As a wise financial advisor (who has all the credentials behind his name), he shares my heart for generosity, and God has given us aligned passions to help Christians give more effectively.
I am truly humbled you are here. Will you join me on this journey to become more like Jesus through the practice of generosity?!
