Stewardship

Success Story: We Reduced our Debts over $70,000 in less than a year!

Debt Reduction and Weath Production are two of the most evasive financial goals people face today.  Why do you think? I've heard this multiple times in multiple ways, but it goes something like this, "Whatever you focus on expands."  Today I want to take a moment to share a great success story from one of my coaching clients.  We've been working together for just under a year now and they are doing phenomenal!  Near bankruptcy and broken in spirit is how they came to me when we met at Read more [...]

What is Financial Apologetics?

In a stroke of genius the other day, Co-Founder, David Libby, finally figured out what we do...lol.   For the last few years we've been teaching Christians the importance of Stewardship in their daily walk with God in this life.  Financial stewardship is important as we've discussed previously. What we've struggled with is how to explain what it is we do when people ask.  David has been studying Cultural Apologetics as of late and realized that finances fall under the culture of the day.

The Truth about Financial Sin?

It's 4:36 in the morning.  I've been up for quite some time now.  I have a condition that causes me to lose sleep while I'm on the road away from my family.  I miss them too much.  As a result, days are long and nights are longer.  It's amazing how not getting the right amount of sleep can have such a profound affect on a person. That's gotten me thinking about money and sin.  How do I define financial sin?  It's an interesting question none the less, so I will attempt to tackle this Read more [...]

Do my kids really get the money thing?

On Sunday, I was over at a church members house finishing up some yard work I've been helping them with. My oldest was with me helping serve this family.  I asked if she was still interested in babysitting.  She was a bit dismissive in her answer, so I asked if she still wanted to make some money doing it. Then she lit up a bit.  She asked me how much she could make, so we talked about it a bit.  We finished the conversation and kept bagging up yard debris. Last night, she shared the two Read more [...]

Our First Webinar!

3 Keys to Biblical Abundance in Difficult Financial Times! In the middle of the night, in September of 2006, Albuquerque banker, Joshua Christensen suddenly woke from a deep sleep and pounded out a mission statement to change the world through Fiscal Stewardship.  Since 1996, he has helped thousands of believers in financial council, but in 2006, he did not know what his new mission meant.  A very short time later, in January of 2008, he lead his first small group discussion based on the Read more [...]

Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous: Biblical Figures edition

Who was a Great Steward of God's household? Who squandered all he was given? Who lost everything & yet gained 100x what he lost? All this and more! It's Thursday.  I've been reviewing several of the very animated characters throughout the Bible, and it's interesting to me that there's not a 'rich & famous' profile section of all the Biblical Greats! Of course, there wouldn't be since God is less concerned about our financial wealth and more concerned with our Spiritual Health & Read more [...]

The Yeast of the Pharisees

“When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. "Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They discussed this among themselves and said, "It is because we didn't bring any bread." Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls Read more [...]

Ananias & Sapphira: Attitude of Money

“1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your Read more [...]
