Randy Alcorn spoke on how to find joy in giving, addressing the dangers of the "Health and Wealth Gospel," and encouragimg Christians to experience joy in giving.  He incorporated verses from Luke and 2 Corinthians. This was filmed at Good Shepherd Community Church during the Hearts Habits and Happiness conference in 2014.
