Giving vs Exploitation: Black Tax, Billing & Scams

Should you keep giving when you know some of those requests are scams? PF has a surprisingly freeing answer about black tax, generosity, and the line between being a blessing and being exploited.Most of us know the messages: school fees, rent, a sick relative, and sometimes a roof that doesn't exist. In this episode, PF, Loraine and Kenneth get honest about black tax and "billing," why $100 here can change someone's month back home, and PF's rule that God only asks you to give what He has put in your hand. Then Loraine and Kenneth push back hard: shouldn't you build wealth first before you start giving it away? It becomes one of the most spirited Bible-vs-worldly-wisdom debates we've had, covering stewardship, the parable of the talents, curses and village superstition, and whether it's okay to give expecting something back.💬 Where do you draw the line: do you answer every request, or do you need proof first?
