In this video, Rick Warren shares that, "God doesn’t want you to live under financial stress, but chances are, you spend a lot of time with money on your mind. You worry about how to earn it, spend it, save it, give it, and invest it. All throughout the Bible, there are spiritual laws for managing money. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren looks at God’s laws for financial freedom. You’ll learn six principles about money that will eliminate financial tension in your life, help you get and stay out of debt, and allow you to maximize what you have been given. Discover the blessings that God has in store for you when you put him first and follow his plan for your finances."

As you remember God as your source, honor God with your first fruits, faithfully save money, keep good records, plan your spending, and enjoy what you have, we pray that your financial life will enable, and not block, your ability to discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, John Siverling explains the why, what and how of Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI).  BRI is a type of investing which aligns your investment with your Christian worldview.  Remember, investing in a company means that you become a partial "owner" of the organization.  This "ownership" transfers a responsibility of Godly stewardship for how you chose to use your investing monies.

Therefore, it is important to think through how you screen what companies you should invest in as a professional steward of what God has asked you to manage on His behalf.

Understanding that "ownership" confers responsibility is critical for all who feel called with a Godly destiny to be an investor.

In this video, Alan Barnhart shares his testimony of how he came to prioritize giving.  He set his heart on being a giver rather than a consumer, and as such has been blessed with much - which he freely gives.  Alan's testimony is not so much a formula for success, as we are each called to a unique purpose, but rather spiritual principle which may inform your own thinking.

We hope that as you discover, unlock and live in the abundance of your personal Godly destiny that you will consider how much more blessed it is to give rather than receive.

CBN shares the following introduction to this teaching, "Why financial planning? A common saying states: "Let go and let God." The implication is that Christians need not be concerned with the day-to-day affairs of this life. After all, didn’t Jesus himself say that we should not be concerned about mundane things, but that God would care for us? In fact, didn’t he describe those who were preoccupied with such things as finances as being "of little faith."Yes, God does expect us to trust in him to meet our daily needs. But the Bible also refers to the Christian responsibility to administer faithfully our God-given assets. Paul said that if we do not work, we should not eat. He said, too, that the responsibility to provide for our families rests on us, not God, and that if we do not support our loved ones, we are worse than pagans.

How do we balance these seemingly contradictory ideas? Why should we work if God is going to provide miraculously everything we need? The solution is actu-ally simple. God, who has promised to supply all of our needs, has also commanded us to work. The apostle Paul worked, and directed others to follow his example. He even said that we should not associate with those who refuse to work!

God provides for our needs, in large part, through stewardship of his creation. Stewardship includes working and carefully planning for the future—for those times when we are unable to work or when needs rise above our income. Planning for the future is thoroughly scriptural. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, wrote that the prudent see danger and take refuge and that the wise store up for a time of scarcity. Furthermore, the Bible promises that we will be blessed if we follow the ways of wisdom.

Therefore it is imperative that mature Christians be firmly grounded in the scriptural truths of financial planning. "Finances By The Book"* summarizes God’s wisdom regarding stewardship of finances and other material possessions. Topics covered include the Christian stewardship attitude and plan, and Christian estate planning. From your study you will discover the laws of financial management that will enable you, with practice, to administer your assets to the glory of God and to up the building of the church. In addition, using the materials presented, you will be able to teach others the scriptural truths of faithful stewardship, so that the truth of God might bear fruit in an ever widening circle.


*The course is based off Master Your Money by Ron Blue"

Do you want to hear from the man who has helped fund billions of dollars into Kingdom purposes utilizing Biblical wisdom?  In this video, Ron Blue shares many important principals for overcoming fear, confusion and doubt.

Christians should be the greatest money managers on the planet, as our money handling decisions are informed by our heart condition.  If our heart is consumed by materialism, then we will struggle with perpetual poverty.  However, if your heart is set on being a good steward of God's resources entrusted to you, then abundance will follow you.

To be sure, great money management is critical to unlocking your Godly destiny.

This video by Kevin O'Leary has some especially tough and straight talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur or one who commands great resources.  Viewer warning - this is not a carefully crafted talk scrubbed clean for a church audience, but it is full of important concepts for those whose Godly destiny includes owning a business and/or growing wealth through investing.

Do you believe that God is looking to raise up some of His people into the world of high finance, venture capital and make billionaires out of His entrepreneurs?  Then, maybe we can learn something from someone who has been there and had a front row seat on the most popular entrepreneurial TV show of all time - Shark Tank.

Dave Ramsey reminds us that money is not the root of all evil, but rather the love of money is the root of all sorts of problems.  In America, we enjoy the most prosperous lives in the history of mankind.  How did this happen?  According to Dave, we have benefited from our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation which have set in place the values of prosperity.  As we have embraced ideals like honesty and service, from a Biblical worldview, we have prospered.  We are in fact rich.

So, what must we consider as we walk in prosperity?  When it comes to a worldview of wealth, one spirit to avoid is the spirit of pride.  It says that wealth comes from me.  “I created the wealth.”  The second spirit to avoid is the spirit of poverty.  It says that money is from the devil and is evil, and anyone who has money has done something wrong.  People feel like the game is rigged.  This sort of thinking often opens the door to jealousy and envy.

Finally, Dave discusses the Spirit of Gratitude, which says that wealth and possessions come from God.  If you are grateful, then your actions show your gratitude.  The Spirit of Gratitude changes everything you do, when you are grateful to your Lord.

This presentation will help you unlock your Godly destiny by helping you understanding that prosperity and purpose go hand in hand.

In this video, Bill Johnson shares with us about Prosperity with a Purpose.  He suggests that a blessing comes from the Lordship of Jesus which expands with your purpose.  However, increase that comes outside the Lordship of Jesus leads to misplaced credit and loss of purpose.  Additionally, purpose and moral conscious is awakened through His kindness and generosity toward us.

Do you believe that the Lord wants to destroy the root of anxiety and fear as it relates to money?  Do you believe that creativity flows from a place of peace?  Can you see how creativity leads to resources?  Destroying this root of anxiety will open the door to resources.

There is an opportunity for God's people to embrace a blessing which flows from staying fixed on His eyes.

Additionally, this video has a great blessing and prayer for release from regret, unhealthy emotional entanglements, and indebtedness.  After watching this video, you will know that God desires to set you free, and bless your life to advance the purposes of God on the earth.  There is a gift in this which will help unlock your Godly destiny.

In this video, Adam Grant offers a way to perceive how people interact. Adam suggests that there are three distinct types of people we will encounter - givers, takers and matchers.  By understanding this dynamic, how it affects our performance, and how to navigate through it, we become better able to reach a state of positive, energizing, and mutually beneficial relationships.

In this talk, you may glimpse how to become the type giver that enables you to help others reach their Godly destiny, without losing your own in the process.

In this video, Robert Morris shares a compelling teaching about giving and tithe.  Some of his main points revolved around the ideas that "it has to be blessed to be multiplied," and "it has to be given away to be multiplied."  Other nuggets within this video include the idea that we are to "bring" the tithe because you can't "give" what does not belong to you.  And, the idea that the tithe is paid first, as an opportunity to operate in faith.

Additionally, we learn that the Lord instructed Robert that he wanted him to get his finances in order so that he could handle a financial blessing.  This included having no debt, not manipulating others around resources, and giving as instructed by the Lord.  But, perhaps the greatest part of this video lesson is in Robert's testimony.  His story, conversations with God, and ultimate revelations are real keys to unlocking destinies.

Do you want to unlock your destiny as it relates to handling resources?  If so, this video is a must watch.
