75: Discipling Believers in Lanes 1 & 2

Leading the stewardship conversation in church can be difficult. It can come across as self-serving ("the church just wants me to give more"). Or we can miss the mark by focusing on one financial condition ("I'm not in debt, so this doesn't apply to me").
Biblical principles apply across all financial conditions. Principles of God's ownership, and values like generosity, gratitude, and contentment are relevant regardless of income and wealth. Big ideas - like being a faithful steward, a diligent earner, a prudent spender, a generous giver, a wise saver, and a cautious debtor - connect with our entire congregations. But these big ideas look very different in various financial situations. Our stewardship conversations must address the entire congregation, not just a segment in a certain financial state.
Some believers are in financial crisis. Struggling to pay bills each month, they accumulate more and more debt over time. They need hope and a plan to get to a place of stability. They likely need to make some big decisions and changes for a period of time to stabilize their cash flow.
Others are in a place of making ends meet month to month. They think they're doing OK because they're paying all the bills, but they're not making real progress. They're not growing their net worth with the resources God has provided. They're treating their money as their own, not as trustees of Another's assets. They need to get clear on stewardship principles and how to apply them in their situation.
Podcast host James Lenhoff provides guidance on speaking to believers in these two different financial conditions. Emphasizing a grace-filled, practical approach based on Biblical wisdom, James shows us how to disciple these believers in the area of finances. Next episode will tackle the conversation with a third segment of the congregation - those who have more than enough.
