In this episode of Active Generosity, we hear from Tim Farron, MP and host of A Mucky Business, a podcast that explores the world of politics through a Christian lens.
Tim shares his passion for encouraging a better understanding of the role of faith in the public square and the challenges of navigating his faith in the ‘mucky business’ of politics, with an encouragement to us to lobby our local MPs on the issues we’re passionate about. Tim also reveals insights from his own faith journey and how that’s influenced his views on generous stewardship.
Tim’s favourite Bible verse on generosity:
“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:20 (NIV)

How you can pray for Tim:
- that he would be a good dad and husband and encourage those members of his family who are yet to put their trust in Jesus to do so
- that he would make good use of his time, putting God at the centre of his life and ensuring that the things he puts into the diary are the things that serve Him the best and the most
