Finances
Stewarding What You’ve Been Entrusted
Money is rarely just about numbers. It reflects priorities, beliefs, fears, and hopes for the future. Whether intentionally or not, how we manage finances reveals what we value and what we trust to provide security.
This pillar invites you to examine your relationship with money—not simply to accumulate more, but to steward it wisely and purposefully.
Do your financial decisions align with your long-term values or short-term comfort?
Are you intentional with your money, or reactive and stressed?
Does money serve as a tool or has it quietly become a source of identity or security?
Why Finances Matter
Finances influence freedom, stress, relationships, and opportunities. When managed intentionally, money becomes a tool that supports purpose. When unmanaged or idolized, it can quietly dictate decisions and direction.
From a Christian perspective, finances are not owned outright, but entrusted. This lens reframes money from something to control into something to steward—wisely, responsibly, and generously.
A Foundational Perspective
Even outside of faith, intentional financial habits create clarity and stability. Budgeting, planning, and delayed gratification force honest tradeoffs—and reveal what truly matters.
This pillar isn’t about wealth for its own sake. It’s about aligning resources with purpose so money serves your life, rather than running it.
