In today’s episode, we are going to be exploring our “water”. It’s the filter through which we understand and make sense of our world. Today, we’ll be discussing the importance of a Biblical Worldview especially as it r...

007: Priority #5 - Luxuries

In today’s episode, we are going to begin to lay out for you what we believe the Bible tells us about the fifth sequential principle of money management...LUXURIES. For over 30 years we have passionately taught that after we give to the Lord, save for our family, spend wisely to pay our bills on time, and look for the needs of others through offering. Then, with the “surplus” income we can choose to spend on some of the “luxuries” of life. Are luxuries bad in and of themselves? How should we enj...

002: The Context of Stewardship (Haggai)

As a believer, we all understand that God owns it all, that we are just the temporary managers of God’s assets. It’s very common for us to meet Christians who think that the majority of what God has to say on the topic of money is to give some of it to the church (i.e. tithing). They are often surprised to find that the Word of God has much more to say on the topic of money and finance. In fact, all throughout the Bible, God is teaching us how to trust him with our resources. Today, we’re going ...
