I’m not really familiar with @howertonjosh, but religious or not, or Christian or not, he never once said to sell your home—and I’ve watched the video 20 times now. He’s talking about honoring God with the blessings you’ve received and about tithing, which is most certainly mentioned in the Bible and is probably referred to in all religions. I imagine this subject is extremely hard for churches to talk about and very difficult to articulate without sounding sleazy. I went and checked out his posts, and religious or not, this guy is extremely talented at speaking and has probably made more money with his social media and speaking engagements than he would ever need from his church to afford a $2 million house. Why can’t we just give people some grace and use common sense and reasoning anymore?

I hope the folks at Lakepointe know they shouldn’t feel guilty for not wanting to sell their home or liquidate their savings, investments, or other valuable assets to fund Josh Howerton’s Into the Breach campaign.

You shouldn’t have to justify keeping your home by turning it into a ministry opportunity. Making people feel guilty for not surrendering their personal assets is manipulation, not discipleship.
