This week on Made For Mondays, Heather sits down with Jamey, Adrienne, and Megan Angel for one of the most joy-filled episodes of the year—our annual celebration of generosity: THE GIFT.

After some Thanksgiving-weekend chitchat and reflections from the Bible Reading Challenge, the team dives into the heart of what makes this Sunday so special. Since everything in this episode centers around giving, Heather kicks things off by asking the crew to share some of their most memorable Christmas gifts—the ones that meant something, made them laugh, or left a lasting mark.

From there, Jamey walks listeners through the why behind The Gift—before ever getting to the “what.” He shares the story of how it began, how it’s grown, and why it continues to shape the culture of Believers Church year after year. Adrienne and Angel share their earliest memories of The Gift and the moments that helped them understand why it matters.

The team highlights story after story of how generosity has opened doors, softened hearts, and drawn people to Jesus—simply because someone from Believers chose to be love in the community.

They unpack:

• What makes The Gift so counter-cultural in a skeptical world

• The three goals that shape The Gift every year

• Why those goals can transform how we see giving—and Christmas itself

• This week’s BIG IDEA:

“Faith that doesn’t cost you is counterfeit.”

• How each of them is personally wrestling with generosity, sacrifice, and heart-posture this year

And of course…they finally unveil The Gift 2026 projects—what they are, why they matter, and how listeners can participate.

Before closing, the team gives a sneak peek into the brand-new Christmas teaching series launching this Sunday: The Christmas Playlist.

🎧 It’s warm, inspiring, and full of stories that remind us that generosity is not something we do—it’s who we are.
