Trevor was straightforward and humorous. Referring to The Embassy's strategy of giving away thousands of bags of popcorn, he talked to the group about being people of generosity. Generosity is far more than a growth strategy. It actually reflects the nature of the One they follow.
He mentioned that there were many people who had difficulty getting their minds around the notion of something being given for free. They simply didn't know how to receive a free gift. One of the reasons was due to the modern belief that 'there must be a catch'. For good reason ( Trevor gave some funny personal examples ) there is a general air of suspicion that nobody could be giving things away without an agenda.
Another key point, Trevor raised was the old adage..."Actions speak louder than words…". He gave numerous examples of how people will give more substance to nonverbal or paraverbal communcation than they will to the actual words.
It was good food for thought. Once he finished, the group broke up for discussion in smaller groups with refreshments.
It was a good evening....
