What you’ll learn
Jesus spoke often about money and possessions because they have a powerful way of shaping our hearts. This course explores what Scripture says about wealth, work, debt, generosity and contentment, and what it means to see ourselves as stewards of what God has entrusted to us rather than simply as owners.
It is practical as well as biblical, covering budgeting, saving, dealing with debt, planning to give and making wise financial decisions. Running through the course is John Wesley’s enduring challenge: earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can — not as an end in itself, but as part of a life shaped by grace, wisdom and generosity.
