Faith Based Giving
Doug MacGray
As stewards of the resources bestowed upon us by God, we have a responsibility to invest in His kingdom. By aligning our investments with the values and teachings of Scripture, we fulfill our role as faithful stewards. Chuck Betters talks with Doug MacGray, founder of Stonecrop Wealth Management, about the importance of stewarding our resources in a way that helps equip the next generation to walk by faith. Doug answers such questions as: What is faith-based giving? What are the different options for giving to faith-based charitable organizations during our lifetime as well as investing for eternity after our deaths? What do the scriptures say about stewarding our resources well? This informative and important conversation will give listeners a lot to consider regarding their own views on giving and investing.
Doug leads the firm, chairs Stonecrop’s investment committee, and is the primary advisor for scores of clients. Doug’s first taste of financial counseling occurred when practicing law and his primary area of law was estate planning. He often worked side-by-side with clients’ financial advisors in creating plans.
