Money touches everything we care about—family, work, faith, even the way we love and plan our days. We invited business coach and mentor William Kiriba to help us unpack why our money story often begins long before our first payslip, and how those early scripts shape today’s choices. From homes where every shilling was stretched to households where needs were always met, we trace how scarcity and comfort can both distort our view of wealth—and how to replace those reflexes with wisdom.

We dig into a clear biblical frame for finances. First, ownership: “the silver is mine and the gold is mine,” which grounds our identity as stewards rather than owners. Second, ability: God gives the power to create wealth, turning work into worship and skill into service. Third, invitation: giving, tithing and generosity are not pressure but participation—God’s way of drawing us into ministry, neighbour love and the growth of the gospel. Along the way, we test a practical insight from the marketplace: serve first, let money follow. When service leads, greed cools, fear quiets and value compounds.

William helps name three common money archetypes—the saver who seeks safety, the spender who seeks joy and the maker who seeks meaning in the chase. Each carries a gift and a shadow. We show how stewardship integrates their strengths: prudent saving without fear, purposeful spending without waste and diligent wealth creation without burnout. With real-life examples and grounded scripture, we offer steps to align budgets and beliefs: examine your origin story, choose habits that reflect trust, and practice open-handed generosity.
