Who should attend a financial stewardship workshop?

Who should attend either or both of the Freed Up Financial Living Workshops or the Money.Purpose.Joy workshop to be conducted in February by Matt Bell?

I think most people fit into one of four categories: those in the midst of a financial meltdown, those just getting by but living paycheck to paycheck, those who are financially independent but not at peace with money, and those living a God-honoring financial lifestyle.

If you are in a financial crisis, you may have been laid-off or maybe you have been caught by excessive debt about the time the bottom fell out of the real estate or stock markets and now you can't sell without a loss. Whatever it was that caused it, you can't pay your bills and your creditors are closing in. You need immediate, one-on-one, counselling. Call Jerri Moats, 904.249.4091 and make an appointment to meet a counsellor. Part of their counsel will include a recommendation that you attend this course so that once the crisis is resolved you will have the tools necessary to never have to face that horror again.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, this course will help you both avoid the crisis and to move toward financial independence. You will need a spending plan that accomplishes those goals.

If you are financially independent you may be retired or you may be working, but in either case you have enough money to pay bills with some left over for savings and retirement. However, your priorities with money, such as giving, saving and debt, are not such that you are experiencing the peace that comes with a God honoring lifestyle. This course will help you open your eyes to changes you may never have considered.

If you are living the God honoring financial lifestyle, taking this course will confirm your financial decisions and your wisdom and imput will help the others in the course. However, maybe you will find new ways to honor God with your money.
