In this episode of Active Generosity, Ruth Jackson talks with Anthony Delaney, Senior Leader at Ivy Church in Manchester and founder of LAUNCH, a movement equipping and connecting entrepreneurs and church leaders across the UK and beyond.  

Anthony shares his passion for shifting churches from a scarcity mindset to one of Kingdom abundance. He gives practical tips on how to disciple people in generosity and offers remarkable stories of God's provision when faith steps were taken. 

Anthony recalls moments when setting bold giving goals unlocked waves of generosity and miraculous provision beyond anything they imagined. He reminds us that generous living reflects God's nature and leads to eternal impact. 

"Whatever we give to God He multiplies and it's 30-, 60-, 100-fold." 

This episode explores: 

  • why generosity is integral to discipleship 

  • practical guidance for leaders on talking about money 

  • inspiring stories of faith, generosity and provision 

  • why investing in God's Kingdom gives the greatest return 

Anthony's favourite Bible verse on generosity:

'God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that at all times and in all things having all that you need you may abound in every good work.' (2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV)
