Curious how we draw people closer to Christ through money conversations? It's as easy as

one, two, three

Step 1: Connecting to God

Most financial ministries start by crunching numbers, not us. There are over 2,000 scriptures about money, but very few have to do with math. Our first invitation includes setting down your calculators and picking up your Bible.

Step 2: Addressing our emotional attachments to money

Psychologist have proven that we make 90% of our financial decisions based on emotions (not logic or reason). So we help people create healthy money mindsets and remove any emotional barriers that hinder our ability to follow Christ.

Step 3: Practical application

Once we are growing in our relationship with God and we have a healthy money mindset, it's time to move on to our favorite step: action. Here we layout the practical steps to living like Jesus in everyday life and allowing our use of money to draw us closer to him.
