What if the reason you feel too small, too broke, or too ordinary to be generous is actually a spiritual problem masquerading as humility? In this episode, we explore an ancient vice called pusillanimity—"smallness of soul"—that convinces us our limitations define us. Through Leo Tolstoy's story of Martin the cobbler and John Witherspoon's forgotten sermon on Christian magnanimity, we discover that true generosity isn't about having enough resources, but about remembering whose children we are.
