Al Mueller, Founder and President of Excellence in Giving, on Generosity with Discernment (Ep. 77)

Al Mueller is the founder and President of Excellence in Giving (https://excellenceingiving.com/) , a transformative organization dedicated to guiding High Net Worth families in making impactful philanthropic decisions. Al shares his inspiring journey from a successful Wall Street career to his current impactful role as a philanthropic consultant. Al’s faith played a pivotal role in shaping his life’s purpose and mission. Through prayer and reflection, he crafted his mission statement: to motivate Christians to give significantly and sacrificially with maximum efficiency to Kingdom activities. This statement led him to take a leap of faith and establish Excellence in Giving, a transformative consulting organization that now serves over 40 High Net Worth families, guiding them in strategic giving decisions ranging from $1 million to $25 million annually to various causes both domestically and internationally. Al also helped launch the Kingdom Giving Fund (https://kingdomgivingfund.com/) , a pooled grant-making organization that focuses on high impact projects that change the trajectory of well-proven ministries. Throughout his interview, Al emphasizes the importance of stewardship, a deeper approach to generosity, where discernment and wise decision-making play a crucial role in making a meaningful impact. Major topics covered include: • Al’s journey from Wall Street to philanthropy • The need to go beyond simple giving and foster a deeper approach to generosity for a lasting impact • Al’s approach to highly effective giving • The importance of celebrating wins in generosity • Excellence in Giving’s approach to philanthropy • The Kingdom Giving Fund model and collaborative giving QUOTES TO REMEMBER • “I felt like the Lord had a kingdom purpose for me that wasn’t helping wealthy people become wealthier.” • “Faith is definitely important. And the crown ministry allowed us to really rethink that.” • “Giving away money thoughtfully is a challenge.” • “If you’re not experiencing the joy of generosity, you’re not doing it, right.” • “Only the Lord has the capacity to deal with all the problems in the world.” • “Joy is a big part of what God promises in the world of generosity and stewardship.” • “Your passions have to be a subset of God’s passions.” • “There is really no substitute for doing your own homework in the area of giving.” • “When God breaks your heart, then figure out who’s championing that area and join them.” • “There should be things in our lives that break our heart.” • “When you have more money, you will just do more of what you’re already doing now.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW • Excellence in Giving (https://excellenceingiving.com/) • The Kingdom Giving Fund (https://kingdomgivingfund.com/) • Crown Ministries (https://www.crown.org/) • Halftime (https://halftimeinstitute.org/) by Bob Buford • Jesus Film Project (https://www.jesusfilm.org/) (see our interview with Executive Director Josh Newell (https://www.finishlinepledge.com/epis...) ) • Ben Carson Reading Rooms (https://www.carsonscholars.org/readin...) • Generous Giving (https://generousgiving.org/) (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper (https://www.finishlinepledge.com/epis...) and David Wills (https://www.finishlinepledge.com/epis...) and CEO, April Chapman (https://www.finishlinepledge.com/epis...) ) • Rick Warren (https://pastorrick.com/) • Compassion International (https://www.compassion.com/) • The Finish Line Community Facebook Group (  / finishlinecommunity  ) • The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group (  / 12646338  ) WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
