Your Question:

How do I keep my family safe from financial ruin?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've seen many families struggle with financial ruin. It's a burden that can weigh heavily on relationships and even lead to a crisis of faith. That's why I believe it's essential to teach our children and our loved ones the basics of financial stewardship. We should make sure they understand how to make a budget, stick to it, and avoid debilitating debt. We should also teach them about the importance of paying bills on time and being wise with credit and debit card offers.

As a father, I've seen firsthand how financial struggles can affect our family's dynamics. When we're not careful with our finances, it can lead to stress, anxiety, and even resentment. That's why I believe it's crucial to involve our children in the financial decision-making process, even from a young age. By teaching them the value of hard work and responsible spending, we can help them develop a sense of gratitude and responsibility. And when they're old enough, we can encourage them to make conscious choices about how to manage their finances, rather than simply relying on us to bail them out.

As a Christian, I believe that our finances are a reflection of our trust in God. When we're not careful with our money, it can be a sign that we're not trusting in His provision. That's why I pray regularly for wisdom and guidance in handling our finances. I pray that my wife and I will be good stewards of what God has given us, and that we'll be generous with others. I also pray that our children will learn to trust in God's provision and not rely solely on their own resources. By doing so, we can avoid financial ruin and build a legacy of faith and generosity that will last for generations.
