Dear Reader,

In his parable of the talents, Jesus makes clear that good stewardship demands more than simply safeguarding what one already has.
 
You may remember the story: Before embarking on a journey, a man entrusts his servants with five, two, and one talents. The first two servants double these sums, while the third buries his talent in the ground. Upon his return, the man commends the first two and gives them more, while rebuking the third and taking his one talent back.
 
Earlier this month, two generous Editor’s Circle members went above and beyond their normal giving to pledge $30,000 toward a matching gift challenge as part of our 2022 Year-End Campaign. In so doing, they have offered us an opportunity to turn five talents into ten.
 
From now through 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, these two donors will match every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000. Will you give today to help us unlock the full $30,000 pledge?
Unlock the match
While I can assure you there will be no rebuking, weeping, or gnashing of teeth like in the parable, we do need your support to fully unlock this generous match. These gifts were pledged in the confidence that readers like you would step up to meet the challenge.
 
Will you? Please help us meet this match challenge in full by giving today!
Unlock the match
Yours,

R. R. Reno
Editor

P.S. Remember: The impact of your tax-deductible gift is doubled if you make it in these next three days. Give today!
