The stewardship conversation in Lane 3 is different from Lanes 1 and 2. It’s not about making ends meet or building net worth. It’s about creating legacy, creating kingdom impact with the resources God has provided. And it’s not just for wealthy people!
It’s been said that we can spend a dollar any way we want, but we can only spend it once. What happens when there aren’t enough dollars? Podcast host James Lenhoff leads us through a process of identifying and making trade-offs in our spending plan to help us make the most of each dollar.
Most of us live with little or no financial margin. Some are in crisis, others one or two paychecks away from disaster. Key goals in these situations are stability and clarity. Learn how to move toward these goals and make progress toward financial freedom.
We all have a goal of financial freedom, though that looks a bit different for everyone. But in order to chart a course to reach that goal, we first have to know where we are. The 3 Lanes Assessment can provide an informed starting point for our journey.
Generally, people are in one of 3 Lanes financially. In the third lane, we’re “well off” – making progress and building net worth. In this lane, we have an opportunity for legacy. Legacy isn’t just a financial inheritance we leave behind – it’s all about the impact we make as stewards of God’s resources, both during our lives and beyond.
Most people are in one of 3 Lanes financially. In the second lane, we’re making ends meet, keeping up with bills. But are we progressing toward financial freedom? In this lane, we need clarity to understand our financial situation and identify next steps of Biblical stewardship.
People are in different places financially. We can think of these as 3 Lanes, or three different broad financial scenarios. In Lane 1, we’re in financial crisis and we’re looking for stability. The path to stability is both a spiritual and a financial one – after all, Scripture consistently points out the spiritual implications of money. Learn a holistic approach to achieving financial stability.
Stewardship is for everyone, regardless of financial condition. But often, we narrow the view to just those struggling with debt, or just those with abundance. Learn how to promote a healthy, wholistic stewardship conversation in your congregation.
