Financial discipleship is essential to helping people develop a Biblical view of money and possessions. Many programs, such as small group studies and video-taught classes, will provide the knowledge and wisdom necessary for people to mature as stewards of God’s resources. But, sometimes, the financial strain is more difficult and requires a one-on-one approach. This episode of Stewardship Leader is the second of three, focusing on financial coaching as a discipleship ministry. We are joined by Courtney Markley, a financial coach and advocate for building a trained network of financial coaches to serve God’s people in every church and beyond with a Biblical view of money.

It is so simple today to spend money. Not only has the process of spending become almost instantaneous through Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, and many others, but the opportunities to do so are endless. Spending isn’t a problem unless it’s done without full knowledge and based on emotions and to seek instant gratification. In today’s episode, we’re talking with James Lenhoff, the National Sales Director at Good Sense Movement and the co-founder of Wealthquest, about the power of intentionality in financial decisions. After 22 years of working with people and helping them navigate their finances, James has seen the impact intentionality has on spending decisions.
