No, we have not always given that much. We don't really have a set goal, and the percentage may change from year to year. When my wife and I were first married, we gave 10%, and slowly we have given more and more. 17% is the highest it has been. We currently give 10% to the church I pastor, and the other 7% goes to other organizations. We just feel that God has blessed us, and we want to be a blessing to others. Thanks for asking!

I am wondering how you came up with 17%, as most people feel good about 10%. Have you always given this much or have you increased this amount over the years? Is this money going primarily back into the church you pastor, or do you spread it out over other organizations? If you don’t mind me asking, in response to your tithing.
