In this season, Christians have a unique opportunity to address questions like:
- How does our Christian worldview inform our financial decisions?
- How much is “enough?” How do we foster a spirit of contentment while responsibly generating and managing resources?
- How do we model generosity for our children?
- How do we structure estate plans to create a multi-generational legacy of stewardship?
We hope the resources below will help you answer these questions and equip you with a sound, biblical strategy for financial success in this time.
Below, you will find recorded lectures from financial experts from a recent Colson Center short course entitled “A Christian View of Money”. We have also included their lecture notes and recommended resources. Feel free to view these at your leisure and share with friends and family!
