We challenge fear and escapism by reframing money as God’s resource for God’s mission. We teach a four-bucket plan—give, save, spend, and “oh” debt—to train kids as stewards who align dollars with the Great Commission.

• rising costs and debt pressures shaping habits
• fear, hoarding and escapism as common reactions
• three cultural money lies children absorb
• contentment in Christ and true ownership
• stewardship defined by ownership, accountability, mission
• practical four-bucket framework for families
• age-specific ideas for giving and savings goals
• visible spending habits and values-based questions
• debt as tomorrow’s money spent today
• one small step to start this week
