Most of us go through midlife crisis at one time or another. It’s natural, but it can have serious financial consequences if we step outside Biblical stewardship principles. Podcast host James Lenhoff leads us through several keys to stewardship in these pivotal years, such as: Understanding the pressures, bringing closure to the past, approaching the future with faith, and making wise trade-offs.
Inheritance brings complexity with it – emotions, family relationships, financial implications. It can be overwhelming, especially at a time that’s already emotional. Learn the importance of understanding and processing the emotions and taking the time to make wise stewardship decisions.
Adult children are living with their parents more and more frequently, for a number of reasons. This can place a strain on the parents’ finances – not to mention on the relationships! Podcast host James Lenhoff highlights some key areas of communication to help with both.
Is going to college right after high school the best option for my child? Is THAT college the best choice? And how will it be paid for? These and other key questions are often answered with unspoken assumptions – resulting in a mountain of debt. Learn the keys to open, early, and ongoing communication in making these important decisions.
Major milestones like college, moving out, and getting married pose significant financial challenges for our kids – and for us. Navigating these junctures successfully requires open, honest communication. These watershed moments can be times of great stress or times of great empowerment toward independence.
Teaching our kids about money is a key part of discipling them. And an important component of that is enabling them to make decisions with money. Just like a toddler learns to walk by falling, we learn about money by making mistakes. If we can empower our kids to make mistakes while the stakes are small, we can protect them against larger ones later.
Our kids are learning about money. Either they’re learning the ways of the world from their friends, from marketers, and from the culture – or they’re learning God’s ways from us. Discover the importance of discipling our children in this key area.
