What would our world look like if people of faith began acting on Lewis’s suggestion? What would happen in our nation if both executives and laborers began practicing a kind of generosity that “pinched”? How would our neighborhoods be transformed if we gave more than we could spare?

This Advent season, what would it take for us to actually give it a try?

A FEW IDEAS TO CONSIDER

•Get into the habit of asking a few more questions before spending your money.

•Develop a thoughtful approach to the histories of the products and companies who you purchase from.

•Enter such a process with humility, and resist the potential pride in thinking your way of approaching such a complicated matter is the only way. This conspiracy will only grow with winsome voices calling others to new places and thoughts.

•Set your budget; know your limit. (If it’s early enough, start saving for a debt-free celebration.)

•Before you start buying, consider each person on your list. Think about your relationship and what significance it brings to your life.

•Consider your core values and whether what you are buying reflects those values.

•Consider drawing names, giving one less gift than last year, or maybe two?

•Talk openly and early with your family. You will be surprised how quickly they begin to understand your motives. In our experiences at each of our churches, it is often the children who let go of hyperconsumption before the grown-ups.
