FREE Financial Coaching & Teaching on Managing Money

Money is a powerful tool, that when used rightly can enable and empower a person and family. But money is also powerfully destructive to people and families when mismanaged or abused. What is interesting is that either happiness and fulfillment or pain and stress come from how we manage our money. In Psalm 90:10-17 we are called to number the days of our life, which will most likely be 70, 80, or 90 years, so that we can maximize our opportunity to work on Jesus’ mission of seeing the Church impact lives in our city and world.

Saving and Investing Part I: The Mindset and Approach

Saving and Investing Part I: The Mindset and Approach

One of my favorite stories in the Bible about stewardship is Noah and the ark. God’s provision is evident in His warning to Noah (Genesis 6:13, 17; 7:4), His instructions to build the ark (Genesis 6:14-16, 19-21), and in Him sending all living creatures to the ark (Genesis 7:8-9). Often overlooked is Noah’s obedience (Genesis 6:22; 7:5, 15; 8:18-19).
