The "Why" Behind this Blog

The "Why" behind this blog is so very simple...  we want to see everyone live in financial freedom and to understand that financial freedom is easy to reach.  After salvation, money is the most taught on topic in the Bible.  Jesus taught on it frequently throughout the New Testament and there is great reason as to why He did.  He knew that money would be the one thing that would cause great bondage in our lives and that it would become a "silent" idol to us.  The enemy doesn't want us to live in financial freedom because he knows what could happen when financial resources become freed up to be used for God's kingdom.

God did a fast and great work in us a few years ago that planted our feet firmly on the road to financial freedom.  We are not perfect in how we steward our money; we mess up frequently.  But we clearly understand what is at stake if our money is not used wisely and in a God-honoring fashion.  Generosity becomes unleashed when people live in financial freedom and generosity enables people to hear more about Jesus and the transforming work He can do in their lives.

The next few posts will provide you with a picture of our financial story.  We started down roads that were completely self-consumed and all about what we wanted.  But God spoke to us clearly and we now live in a freedom that we had no idea that could exist.  We hope you enjoy our story and that it stirs something up in your life.  We also hope that you subscribe to our blog as we plan to post at least every other week.  Our objective is to provide you with scripture, thoughts and resources that could put your feet on the path to financial freedom as well.  Please comment and ask questions on our post.  God has called us to lead people into financial freedom.  We won't back down until more people get there.
