Churches often get a bad rap when it comes to the subject of money and giving. Are churches being disingenuous when they talk about giving - or could there be something deeper going on? What if we told you that when the Bible talks about giving and being generous, the goal is your personal freedom?Listen to Sandals Church on your favorite podcast platform: sandalschurch.com/sermonpodcast/

In celebration of our Giving Tuesday campaign to raise $500,000 to refurbish a struggling church in Santa Rosa, CA and relaunch it as a Sandals Church campus, we created a special bonus episode of throwback sermon clips from 2010 of Pastor Matt Brown teaching about the vision of being real with ourselves, God and others. Over the years Sandals Church has grown a lot. But our goal has never changed: help people become real with themselves, God and others.The idea for creating a church that was about being real with ourselves, God and others started in 1997 in a small living room in Riverside, CA. Since then the vision of being real has spread to reach and connect with people and communities literally all over the world - and we believe it's a vision that will reach the next generation in the west. That's why we're chasing after a crazy goal of launching a Sandals Church in Northern California - because it's a part of our country that desperately needs a movement of authenticity.Would you join us by being part of our Giving Tuesday campaign to launch a Sandals Church in Santa Rosa, CA and bring the vision of being real to Northern California? Visit https://rogofoundation.com/givingtuesday to make a financial gift! Every gift goes toward the refurbishing and replanting efforts of Sandals Church Santa Rosa. Together we can do something remarkable and help spread this vision of being real to the next generation.

We live in an era of outrage. Constant controversies and left versus right dominate our culture. Tragically, the church mirrors this state of affairs in many ways. The key ingredient we're missing in all of this is grace. We've fallen from grace, dividing over issues and failing to come together and be the people God has called us to be. If Christians can remember the grace of God that first called them, we can find healing.
