Financial Coaching for Kingdom Men

  Introduction: The Fleeting Pursuit of Wealth This morning, as I spent time in God's Word, a passage from Proverbs 23 :4-5 resonated deeply: "Do not toil to acquire wealth: be discerning enough to desist. When your eyes light on it. It is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven."

  Why Living Below Your Means Unlocks True Financial Freedom Yesterday morning the alarm went off. I usually wake up at the alarm and get the day going, but not yesterday. I just wanted to stay in bed a little longer. Because I stayed in bed, I didn’t get my normal routine going and so my morning got thrown off.

Proverbs 24:27 also hit home: “Prepare your work outside, get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.” We seem to be reminded and instructed to prioritize work and income before planning our household expenses.
