When Philanthropy Is Wrong: 3 Giving Mistakes That Miss the Heart

You can’t take it with you.

In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair explores one of the most important questions for anyone pursuing success, wealth, and legacy: how should we steward what God has entrusted to us?

Philanthropy is often seen as unquestionably good—but what if generosity can miss the point?

Andrew unpacks three situations where philanthropy can be wrong: when it becomes a last resort, when it is done to impress others, and when it is used as a way to earn favor with God. Through Scripture, practical wisdom, and a powerful reminder from the Rockefeller estate, this episode challenges us to examine not just what we give, but why we give.

If you want your life, wealth, and legacy to serve something eternal, this conversation will help you think differently about generosity, stewardship, and living to give.
