Our family has been tithing less with money and more with time and physical resources. We’ve seen a lot of temporal reward. I’m not making weird prosperity preacher claims, and I’m not saying we expect to become rich from it, just saying life puts out what you put into it. Maybe the way we are tithing is PoW and that’s why it floats my boat.
