Lance Wood is a retired certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Area Director for the National Christian Foundation (NCF). Lance shares his journey from a successful career as a numbers-driven tax partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers to finding fulfillment in helping generous Christians maximize their giving through tax-efficient strategies.

Lance’s expertise and personal experiences provide valuable insights into unlocking the potential of charitable giving and making a lasting impact.
Throughout the interview, Lance highlights the power of donor-advised funds as a platform for charitable giving.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 | Building on the Foundation of Jesus
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
Matthew 14:13-21 | The Fish and the Loaves
