What We’ll Cover
Leigh Ann Horton grew up in a Christian home where open conversations about money and stewardship shaped her perspective on finances and faith. Her natural talent for numbers guided her career as a CPA and entrepreneur, while also influencing her early approach to generosity. Initially meticulous in tracking her giving, Leigh Ann’s journey has since evolved into one of holding resources with open hands and following the Spirit’s leading in both her businesses and giving.
A turning point came when Leigh Ann and her husband connected with a community of like-minded givers, leading to a transformative shift toward heartfelt, Spirit-led generosity. Today, Leigh Ann is passionate about empowering women to engage in meaningful conversations about money and giving. Her inspiring stories radiate the joy and fulfillment that come from embracing a generous life.

Quotes to Remember
- “When I realized that I was being legalistic in my giving, I quit trying to measure everything and tried to become more freehanded in it.”
- “It doesn’t matter what I have because it’s not mine; I’m just a steward.”
- “As you know what your purpose is, then you can figure out where your passions align.”
- “Start where you are, even if you’ve only given a tiny bit before. You can start anytime to be generous with your time, your treasure, or your talent. It all matters.”
- “If you want to start being more generous, you have to start with acts of generosity.”

Bible References from the Show
Malachi 3:10 | “Test Me in This…”
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
