What We’ll Cover

Andy DeWitt is an oral surgeon and author of the book Radical Giving: How Remarkable Generosity Can Set You Free. As Andy struggled with whether to go into private practice or full time missions work, he finally found is answer in a financial finish line. 

From the beginning of his career, Andy and his wife knew how much they planned on spending on their family. And everything else, they left to God’s direction.

Through the years, Andy has learned a lot along the way. Listen to his thoughts on topics like combatting personal legalism, alligning yourself with your spouse, the importance of community, and involving your kids in the process. 

In more recent years, Andy has become passionate about helping others share their stories through writing coaching and ghostwriting. He shares the experience that changed his mentality from giving in secret to sharing his own story. Listen now to hear all he had to share!

Quotes to Remember

  • “Sharing your heart of generosity helps others to have a heart of generosity.”
