Savvy Stewardship
Simple financial solutions that inspire fearless generosity.
That's our goal.
Many financial talking heads "sprinkle" Jesus in the discussion but misrepresent Him and His word. Greed is often masked as the "blessing" of the Lord.
We are unapologetically Christ-centered in our approach.
My wife and I have experienced nearly every imaginable financial faux pas. When we began untangling our money mess our net worth was negative, our debt load was massive, our bank account was empty, stress levels were sky-high, our giving was paltry, and legitimate answers seemed elusive.
We’ve celebrated giftless birthdays and anniversaries. Many of our cars required prayer to get them started and additional prayers to get them to stop (only kind of kidding). Our children wore hand-me-down clothing out of necessity.
We’ve prayed the “fishes and loaves” prayers over our paychecks.
Life, for many years, was one large financial pain in the posterior.
Yet, God’s grace was sufficient during the struggle. He didn’t give up on us when we repeated the same money blunders. He was always gracious and patient.
We learned and applied Biblical financial wisdom. We pivoted when necessary and called audibles when it made sense.
God was with us every step of the way.
I want to share what we've learned over the past three decades.
