Christmas tends to be a holiday filled with excessive gift giving. We’ve taken something very symbolic and manipulated it.

One thing I continually see the longer I'm a Christian is how the Church avoids talking about money like it's the plague. For one reason or another this has been the norm despite how much money is talked about in scripture.

However, countless Christians are struggling in their relationship with money.
