Good $ense Learning Opportunity

 

Managing your personal finances is a top source of stress in your daily life. As Christians, we are called to apply godly stewardship principles to the money management choices we make. But where to start? How much should your monthly mortgage payment be? How much should be set aside as an offering to my church? Should you keep your current credit cards or apply for new ones with better rates?

 

While the Bible does not offer specific answers to many questions about personal finance, it does provide principles for effective money management that can transform the way you think about money, and in turn, transform your life! "Good Sense" is a new learning opportunity that teaches these principles.

 

The "Good Sense" workbook accompanies the six video sessions and provides additional exercises to help participants apply what they have learned. It can be obtained through Concordia Publishing House by calling 1-800-325-3040 or sending an e-mail to order@cph.org, referencing Synod stock #S22000.. On the LCMS Web site, there are additional free resources available to help you get started at http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=9946.

Before you begin the Good $ense videos, you'll find it helpful to organize your personal financial information.  Material to assist in that organization is available at the following link:  http://www.goodsenseministry.com/resources/curriculum_budget_course.asp
