The Financial Stewardship Challenge Part 1

Listen to the Podcast

Here is the replay from last night's zoom on the Financial Stewardship Challenge.

In September we are focusing on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

Here is what we discussed last night...

• Part of stewarding with God is using our money according to His will... which is to do good, build others up, and build relationships. 
• Money is relational... We can't buy, sell, give, or receive alone.
• Jesus tells us to use money to make friends. 
• In all financial transactions (including giving), how we make people feel matters. 
• 4 Keys to finances are... Being decisive and taking action, staying in a rhythm with God and understanding money has a timing component, trusting God and becoming trustworthy, and paying attention to the flow of money. 
• Partnership is the table turner for finances. It takes the pressure off and makes everything easier. 
• If we get anything out of this challenge it should be to steward finances with our partners. Partner with God, spouse, business and ministry partners and make all decisions together. 
• Set up a basic financial structure with an operating account, savings account/emergency fund, and a storehouse. 
• Get tracking and accounting in place so that we can manage together and make good decisions. 
• Implement a financial rhythm of daily tracking income/expenses, weekly review of cash flow with partners, monthly accounting and decisions with all partners agreement, yearly cycle big picture decisions and vision.

I am praying for you.
