How to use these video lectures and the associated support documentation...


In my lectures I constantly refer to specific chapters or pages in my book and supplementary resources. Therefore I recommend, opening all materials so you can switch between the videos and text. See how in the instructions below... However, you may use whatever system works for you.

  • Download or open the (2) two lecture support documents (you may save and print these documents if you wish)

Note: (How to switch between an open browser and documents)

  • You can use <Alt+Tab> to switch between open documents and this lecture videos page.
  • Play each video and press <pause> to refer to any referenced text mentioned in the video. Then press <Alt+Tab> to go to that open (or printed) document and review the text. To return to the paused video press <Alt+Tab> again and resume play or simply press play.


Alternate Method:

  • You can also click on the (3) three vertical dots in the lower right corner of each video and select <Picture-in-picture>. This will display the video in a small (resizable) window outside of your browser. You can minimize <-> your browser window and position the video window anywhere on your screen. This way you can have both the documents and the video open for cross-reference.
  • Mouse over the Picture-in-picture display and click <Back to Tab> to return to the open web browser.
  • Repeat this process for all videos.

How to resource your vision course


Lecture 1 - Introduction • 9:34 minutes

Introduction


“I introduce this ‘new approach’ and walk you through the contents and organization of this video course, ‘How to Resource Your Vision’. It includes a definition of ‘stewardship’ and an analogy that allows you to visualize what this ‘new approach’ looks like.”

Lecture 2 - WHAT • 6:45 minutes

WHAT?


“I talk about several ‘what’s’, such as ‘What do you want?’ ‘What does God want?’ ‘What does a biblically generous church look like?’ ‘What does this ‘new approach’ look like?’ What are key elements and observations of this ‘new approach?’”

Lecture 3 - WHY • 10:58 minutes

WHY?


“This lecture focuses on ‘WHY?’ and motivates you to get started and persevere in conducting this long-term strategic church ministry. Before starting this video, be sure to first read my booklet ‘Why Have a Church Stewardship/Generosity Ministry”. I give you a quiz to apply to your church that will reveal the giving ‘health’ of your church. The lecture ends with a list of the reasons for implementing this church ministry.”

Lecture 4 - HOW (Part 1) • 13:25 minutes

HOW? Part One


“We now get into the detailed contents of how to design, implement, and maintain a church stewardship/generosity education ministry. What do you pray about? How do you form your leadership team? How do you create your agenda? What do you teach? Where? How do you evaluate it?”

Lecture 5 - HOW (Part 2) • 11:24 minutes

HOW? Part two


 “Lecture Five takes you to my Supplementary Resources and other ‘content’ sources that provide teaching material for your different outlets. I introduce you to an area of stewardship and generosity teaching that you may not be familiar with but is very important. In conclusion, I give you an important REMINDER.”


In Closing...

I hope this course helps you implement a lay-led, church-wide ministry teaching biblical and practical stewardship and generosity truths to your people.
