64: The Rise of Tipping Culture — From Gratitude to Guilt

Is tipping getting out of hand? In this eye-opening episode, John Cleaver and Wendy Lee explore the growing frustration around tipping culture in America — and how it’s shifted from a generous act of gratitude to a guilt-fueled expectation.

From drive-thru windows to online checkouts, it feels like everyone is asking for a tip. But what does that mean for our values as believers, and how do we respond with both generosity and discernment?

If you’ve ever felt awkward at the tip screen or questioned whether you’re being too stingy or too generous, this conversation will challenge you to think deeper about generosity, financial stewardship, and setting personal standards.

🎧 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why tipping culture has dramatically changed since the pandemic
What roles actually depend on tips for income — and which don’t
How forced tipping can rob us of the joy of true generosity
What Scripture says about giving cheerfully vs. giving out of guilt
How Christians can be both generous and wise with their money
Real talk: Why “everyone gets a trophy” culture may be fueling entitlement

✝️ Key Scripture Referenced:

2 Corinthians 9:7 – “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
