How to Talk to Your Kids About Money (From a Biblical Perspective)

Image
Most parents want their children to grow up financially responsible. But for Christian families, the goal runs deeper than good money habits — it's about raising children who understand that money is a tool for stewardship, generosity, and worship. Teaching kids about money from a Christian perspective is one of the most impactful forms of discipleship you can do at home. The good news? You don't need a finance degree to do this well. You just need intentionality, a few practical tools, and the Word of God. Why Financial Discipleship Starts at Home Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." This verse is often quoted in the context of faith formation — but it applies equally to financial formation. The habits, attitudes, and beliefs about money that children develop in their early years follow them into adulthood. Research consistently shows that children begin forming money habits as ea...

How We Paid Off $40,000 in Debt Through Prayer and Planning

Image
  Three years ago, I would have laughed if you'd told me we'd be writing a post about paying off debt. We were the couple who knew just enough about money to be dangerous — we had retirement accounts, we tithed (sort of), and we felt like responsible adults. We were also carrying $40,700 in debt and had exactly $200 in savings. This is the story of how we paid it all off — every single dollar — in 28 months. And why I'm convinced that faith was not just a spiritual comfort during the process, but a practical, active force in our financial freedom. Our Debt Breakdown Before we start, here's what we were dealing with: Credit Card 1 (furniture store): $3,200 at 28.99% APR Credit Card 2 (travel card): $5,800 at 21.99% APR Personal loan (medical): $7,200 at 14.5% APR Vehicle loan (truck): $11,400 at 6.9% APR Student loan (wife's undergrad): $13,100 at 5.5% APR Total: $40,700.  Monthly minimum payments: $1,042. We were paying over $1,000 a month just to stay in place. The...

Frugal Living Tips from a Faith Perspective

Image
  The word "frugal" has an image problem. It conjures images of extreme couponers, people who reuse paper towels, or grumpy misers who never spend money on anything enjoyable. That's not what biblical frugality looks like. Frugal living, from a Christian perspective, is about intentionality — spending less on what matters less so you can give more, save more, and have more capacity for what actually matters. It's stewardship in practice. The Biblical Case for Frugality "Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil." — Proverbs 15:16 Throughout Scripture, simplicity and contentment are presented as virtues, not poverty. Jesus himself lived simply. The disciples lived simply. The early church shared resources so that no one had too much or too little (Acts 4:34). This doesn't mean God calls all Christians to poverty. But it does mean that the relentless pursuit of more — more house, more car, more status — is fundamentally at od...
