Should Christians Tithe If They're Broke?

What happens when the church says "tithe first" but your lights are about to get cut off? In this financially honest episode of "You, Me, and Jesus," Keenya gets real about the pressure to tithe when you're struggling financially and shares what she learned about giving that changed everything.

Discover the freedom that comes from understanding the heart behind biblical giving versus religious obligation. Keenya shares her own broke-but-tithing seasons and the surprising ways God provided when she learned to give from love rather than fear or duty.

In our "What Would Jesus Actually Do?" segment, we explore how Jesus might respond to someone feeling guilty about not tithing during financial hardship—focusing on heart posture and practical wisdom rather than rigid percentages.

Whether you're currently struggling financially but feeling pressure to tithe, wondering if God will "curse" your finances for not giving 10%, or simply trying to figure out generous living on a tight budget, this episode offers grace-filled guidance without the guilt trips.
