Have you ever felt God ask you to do something that didn’t make sense? For a broke, overwhelmed new mom, giving away 10% of her tiny income seemed impossible. Yet, she chose to obey a simple promise: “If you tithe, I will provide.”
Join Jeff Dixon in The Carpenter Shop as he explores one of the most challenging and rewarding acts of faith: the tithe. Drawing from a powerful modern-day story and the foundational promises in Genesis, this message unpacks why giving back the “first tenth” isn’t about church budgets—it’s about positioning yourself to witness the faithfulness of God. It’s time to stop getting baptized with your wallet in the air.

Before there was human sin, there was angelic rebellion. But how is such a thing possible? Why would God, in His infinite wisdom, create Lucifer knowing he would fall and bring chaos into creation? This episode of “Oh Heavens!” explores the cosmic paradox of divine love and genuine choice. We’ll unpack why God’s nature compelled Him to grant His creatures—both angelic and human—the freedom to choose, even if it meant choosing against Him. This isn’t just an ancient story about angels; it’s a foundational truth that explains the immense importance of your own daily decisions and the incredible relationship with God that is offered to you.

Every day is a series of choices—what to eat, what to watch, who to spend time with. But what if there was one foundational choice that could bring clarity and purpose to all the others? Welcome back to The Carpenter Shop, where Jeff Dixon reveals a timeless secret hidden in the concept of a farmer’s first harvest. Using the biblical model of “first fruits,” he illustrates how the decision to give God the “preeminence” in all things is the ultimate life-hack for a thriving faith. Learn why making Jesus your first thought, not an afterthought, has the power to order your steps, guide your decisions, and transform your response to God’s call on your life.
