Investing In Eternity: A Story of Radical Generosity with Randy Alcorn

November 17, 2023 | Jake Harp

Born and raised in the Midwest, I’m always on the lookout for a good deal. Compliment me on an article of clothing? I’m obligated to tell you the insanely low price I actually paid for it. Comment on a nice pair of headphones I’m using? I’ll tell you they were a Christmas gift from someone with more money. Ask me why I walk out of the gas station with a warm two-liter of soda to drink? Because it’s cheaper than the cold bottle from the fridge. Notice that I bought the industrial-size roll of trash bags that I’ve been working through for the last two years? Well, they were a bit cheaper to buy in bulk, and apparently, we don’t want any wiggle room in our cabinets.

If you're anything like me, you're always looking for the best bang for your buck, the highest possible return on your investment.

What if I told you I could guarantee a 3000% rate of return? Would you invest with me? What about a 6000% return? What about a 10,000% return on your investment?

Listen to this podcast interview with author Randy Alcorn to learn more about earning those kinds of returns.

“Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.” Jesus, Mark 4:20

What kind of return on investment are you looking for?

Here is a link to Randy’s book on this topic: The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving.
