Recovery.
It’s a word we hear a lot of in the media
today. We have all been battered and bruised financially from the recent
economic crisis. The focus
now is on recovery – to get back to where we were before the crisis
hit. Back to the same retirement account balances, back to the same home
values, back to the same sense of financial security. But have we learned
anything? Is this what God wants for his people?
Come learn what God’s
perspective is toward finances at the Freed-Up Financial Living series.
You will learn how to prepare for the next financial crisis
from a godly perspective, which includes a biblically-based approach
to spending,
saving, giving
and debt. But this series is more than just a learning experience about
spending plans and budgeting. This is a time
for
you to reflect
on your relationship to God, which is often closely correlated to your
relationship with money. You will leave this course
more aware of how your financial behavior is influenced ( many
times subconsciously) by
forces within our culture that may or may not be consistent with your
values and goals. At this course you can learn how to master your money
so you can experience a freedom
in Christ you may have never known before. And you will gain a deep
sense of confidence that, with
God’s help, you really can manage and control your finances
rather than them controlling you!
Freed-Up Financial Living refreshes and expands on the time-tested,
life-changing Good $ense Budget Course that has been used in more than
5,000 churches. It is presented in a DVD seminar format conducted by seasoned
financial ministry leaders Dick Towner, John Tofilon and Shannon Plate.
Each week's "seminar" is one hour long, followed by 30 minutes of
discussion and Q&A time.
Cost
is $20 per individual or per couple, which covers the cost of the
Freed-Up participant workbook. If you are married, we highly recommend
you attend this WITH your spouse if at all possible. Sorry, childcare
is not available.
Pre-registration
is required so that you are able to get your
workbook in advance and complete some necesary pre-work. The pre-work
is
important for the course to be as valuable and productive as possible.
Completion may take several hours, so we recommend you register
and begin the pre-work as soon as possible. Throughout the course,
you will use your pre-work information to establish your personal
spending plan.
