Give generously. Save wisely. Live appropriately. That’s the 3-step financial pattern we see in the Bible. And most of the time, we talk about those first two steps—give generously and save wisely. In this episode, Art answers listener questions, including one about living appropriately and spending money.

Listener questions:

1. You say give generously, save wisely, and live appropriately. What does it mean to live appropriately, and what are some good ways to spend my money?

2. What do you think about USDA loans?

3. What is one thing you would do differently as a parent, and one thing you wouldn’t change?

Notes:

1. Others
2. Health
3. Experiences
4. Knowledge
5. Time

Our sponsor SecureGive has a special event coming up that we want you to know about called the Give Conference. As you know, not enough people are giving to your church. And, many that are giving simply aren’t giving enough. Church leaders, we know you desire to turn this around, but it can be challenging. You need practical step-by-step help and encouragement in the process.

Learn from other church leaders who understand exactly what you're up against. Walk away with the tools you need to grow and sustain digital giving. Make a plan that takes discipleship and giving participation to the next level!

Imagine a local church filled with faithful, generous people. Give Conference is a unique event designed to help you make this a reality. Register and get your tickets by clicking here: https://www.securegive.com/give-conference/
