  Whose Money Is It? Leadership Guide The Whose Money Is It? Leadership Guide has now been completed. This addition to the original book is designed specifically for small group Bible studies and leadership discussions. Like the original book, this guide takes participants deeper into discovering the wonders of what God says about finances and how believers are called to be faithful stewards of all He has provided. Exploring Stewardship: Heart, Focus, Greed, Treasure, and Idols There are many reasons why individuals sometimes struggle to manage their time, talents, and treasures responsibly. This series highlights several key areas that greatly influence stewardship: the heart, focus, greed, treasure, and idols. Where a person stands in each of these areas ultimately determines whether they are acting as a faithful steward of God’s gifts. Session Structure and Approach This five-part study is designed to be divided into five sessions, with each session consisting of two pa...

I recently had the honor of contributing to an anthology alongside several women of faith in a project coordinated by Dr. Paulette Harper Ministries called Blooming in the Process. About Blooming in the Process Blooming in the Process is a devotional for women who are learning to trust God not only with the outcome, but also with who they are becoming along the way. It is written for women who are still growing, still healing, still waiting, and at times wondering whether anything beautiful is happening at all. Through Scripture-centered reflections, heartfelt prayers, and faith-filled declarations, the book offers gentle encouragement for every stage of the journey. · Growth does not happen overnight, and it is not meant to. · God develops roots before flowers. · He forms character before fruit. · He is intentional in every season of pruning, waiting, and unseen work. The Heart of the Message This devotional invites women to release the pressure to "arrive" and inste...

What is it that inspires you? Is it a person? Is it a musician, or an athlete, or someone spiritual in your life who you look up to? Maybe it is not necessarily a person, but something like an event or experience that someone has had. Everyone draws inspiration from someone or something. The world watches for anything they can to find inspiration in, but yet they won’t look to the Lord. They allow others to hold that spot in their lives, but not the Creator. When we as Christians draw inspiration from the Lord, each other, Christian resources, and the Bible, we will find strength, and we can share it with the world. There are many places we can go to find inspiration. Christian books and resources are a great place to find hope and you can also find accountability when you meet with other believers. The Bible holds many stories and experiences that we can find inspiration from. For example, look at the story of Noah. He was so willing to follow the Lord and His will, that He worked f...

We can show our faith when we honor God with our finances. We can also do the complete opposite: we can show lack of faith when we are greedy with money or live in such a way that does not show our trust in Him. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” The way we treat money shows whether or not we trust in the Lord.   Money can cause divisions in families, can create bitterness and hatred, and can drive people to make decisions they will regret. However, it can also be a blessing when given as a gift or offering and can have lasting effects when used to make good decisions. For example, when a person budgets and uses extra money each month to save toward either getting rid of debt, investing in the future by making a big purchase like a house, or giving toward a ministry or someone in need, the rewards can bring joy, peace, and satis...

Trials can have great effects on our lives. They can either devastate us and leave us lonely, helpless, bitter, and unforgiving, or they can inspire us and shape who we become. We are in charge of how we handle our trials; we choose how we let them affect us. However, there is always a reason in everything we experience. If we allow Him, God will give purpose to our pain and healing to our hurt. So how can we endure through hard times and trust God in everything?   Know that God is always working for our good, even when it doesn’t seem like it. Romans 8:28 tells us that “ we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” This doesn’t mean that we will never experience anything bad; it just means that in every situation, God will work to bring about something good. As a child of God, we are guaranteed His presence and His love in our lives forever. He cares about every little detail, every ma...
