(gentle music)

- [Announcer] Kent andLynnelle Solnar have three kids

and a busy household.

- Throughout our marriage,we've been so blessed.

We've not been in a position of need.

You know, we've always had allof our needs met, plus some.

- [Announcer] The Solnars saythe secret to their success

is giving.

- We've realized over the years,

it's just better to give, give it to God,

and we know that we're gonna be blessed.

- [Announcer] Kent worksin the grain business,

buying and selling commodities.

- I grew up on a farm,

so I grew up with a love for agriculture.

When I was starting on my job search,

I came across the grain business,

and saw that there was a need for finance,

and so, with my background in agriculture,

it led me down that road, andit's been quite a blessing.

- [Announcer] He and Lynnelle say

tithing has been a prioritysince they married in 2003.

- Since we've been committed givers,

we've just seen nothingbut an increase in income.

- [Announcer] In 2006, whilethey were tithing regularly,

Kent was challenged totithe off his gross income.

- It planted the seed in me,

and God took that as anopportunity to speak into me a bit,

so once we changed our heartto tithing off of gross,

God just started to bless us even more.

- [Announcer] Kent saw steadyincreases in his salary

and was promoted at his job.

As their income grew, theSolnars increased their giving.

Five years later, Kent saysGod gave him a new challenge:

to put a cap on their incomeand give the rest away.

- From that point on, we've done that,

to where, you know, wetithe our amount every year,

but if we have blessingsthat are flowing in

that it's above and beyonda certain income level,

we'll just look to give it away

to whatever God has for us at that time.

- [Announcer] The Solnars say

they don't worry about the future.

Since they started giving,

Kent's salary has multiplied five times.

- Even with where it's capped,it's more than we need.

It's just been humbling

how much we've been blessed financially.

- [Announcer] In 2016,they became CBN Partners.

- [Kent] It gives you a very warm feeling

knowing that your financesare going to something

that has great kingdom impact.

- When we give our money to CBN,

we know that it's goingto all these places

that we might not ever get to,

whether it's building a well

or helping with someof the disaster relief.

- When they get into the prayer time,

and just what the Holy Spiritis putting on their hearts,

and just what's speaking through them,

and it's just so powerful.

Those things really resonate with me.

- [Announcer] The Solnarswant others to know

the peace they have found in giving.

- The Lord gave me a picture

of what tithing looks like physically.

He says, "When you hang on tightly to it,

"it's like grasping onto water,

"and if you do that, thewater's just gonna all trickle,

"eventually, right outthrough your fingertips,

"and the process isstressful and you're tense."

He says, "But if you would justrelax and open up your hand,

"it naturally becomes a posture

"of both giving and receiving,

"and you'll see thatthere's always water left."

We just release it to Himand allow Him to pour into us

and lead us to pour out onto others.

- [Announcer] Kent andLynnelle are certain:

If you are obedient,God keeps His promises.

- If you look at God foryour first investment,

it's the best return oninvestment you'll ever have.

- Just try tithing, and you'd be amazed.

God says, "Test me in this, andI will open the floodgates."

He'll do what He says;He's a God of His word.
