There's a part of building a legacy that has a bit of bittersweetness to it. When you plant a tree, you know you may not live long enough to enjoy the fruit it produces, or the shade it creates. When you build something meant to last for generations or millenniums, you can be sure you'll only see a small fraction of your vision.

Today's guest on Maybe I'm Amazed is Allen Walworth. Allen has worked with many churches, including Myers Park UMC in Charlotte, on building lasting relationships with donors, and managing their giving campaigns.

Allen talks to host James Howell about the joys of giving, some of the reasons why people he's worked with give to the church, and how giving helps one plant a tree of their own.
