I’ve been trying to learn more about financial stuff lately. Bethany’s been teaching a course at church called “Financial Peace University” and it’s been really great. The major thrust of the course is really about getting & staying out of debt which I think is so relevant for today and especially for the Church. In one of the lessons, Dave Ramsey (the host) talked about impacting your family tree in regards to finances. It really hit home with me. I want to provide for my family; kids & grandkids for many generations to come. And I want to make an impact on my spiritual family tree by giving tons of money to people, ministries, my church, etc…
I’ve been listening lately to a roundtable discussion held at Morningstar Ministries (one of my favorite places on earth!). It’s called the KBA (Kingdom Business Association) and it’s a prophetic look at the current financial situation; how we got here, where we’re headed & so forth. I recommend you check it out here. I think there’s a practical side of handling our finances that will impact the spiritual side of it.
