Cold Hands and Warm Hearts

In this episode of Cost of Goods Soul, Andrew celebrates the chaos and joy of the last day of school before Christmas break and shares a deeply personal story of radical generosity. After seeing a teenager biking in zero-degree Michigan weather without gloves, he and his wife felt called to quietly purchase and donate 1,000 pairs of insulated gloves to kids in Bay County’s most economically challenged schools. Andrew reflects on why he sees everything he has as God’s, what it means to be obedient when a nudge to give shows up, and why the impact isn’t about the dollar amount but the hope a simple act can plant in a child’s heart. He then invites listeners into their own experiment with generosity—like handing a stranger a $100 bill with no strings attached—and describes the indescribable rush of joy that comes from giving in secret. This is an invitation to believe that small, unseen acts of kindness can flip the atmosphere of a life, a neighborhood, and maybe even the world.
