How can Christians shift their perception of wealth to effectively serve God and others?

Scott Thomas is deeply involved in church-centric activities like the Dream Cities conference. His perspective on the cleansing of the church is grounded in both acknowledgment and urgency. They view the ongoing challenges faced by the church as an essential process of purification and refinement, suggesting that only those who are proactive can effectively navigate this period of cleansing. Scott stresses the need to confront difficult topics such as finances and to take responsibility for one's actions and contributions to the church and society. It is through their experiences in hosting workshops on increasing tithes, promoting radical generosity, and advocating for resource management, including family, business, and church leadership, that their commitment to church cleansing and strengthening becomes abundantly clear.

The cleansing of the church is an ongoing process that requires dedication, humility, and a willingness to embrace radical generosity and accountability.
