God showed me how to handle my finances through the blessing of Crown Ministries in 2004. Until then, I had lived paycheck to paycheck, had declared bankruptcy and had an eviction notice on my door. I had no idea how to plan or live without financial chaos.
What I didn't know was that I was a steward of all that God has given me. Crown opened my eyes and my heart that everything is His, and I am it's caretaker. Because of His teaching, I give God's portion first. I now have a savings account and a Roth IRA that I fund faithfully as well. I am not rich by the world's standards, but I am unbelievably wealthy!

My husband are on week 10 with our Crown small group. We've been involved with other "themed" small groups before, and, suprisingly this is the one I will miss the most. (Suprising because who would think I would MISS a "financial" class?)
This class has helped us so much:
1. To see God's heart and plan for managing all of our resources. (There are over 2,300 related verses, wow!)
2. To give us tools and a direction to find our way through this difficult process of tracking and managing our money, a subject that we have avoided like the plague. The tools make it easy to get on track and to actually be excited and have hope about staying on track.
3. To help us cast a vision for our lives and to see that how we handle our money is a reflection of where our heart is and how God sees us (ouch). We have a new vision and see that managing money is NOT like jail, but to the contrary, it is like a huge gift of freedom.
I only wish we would have taken this class in our twenties!!!! Thank you to Crown and to our Crown leaders and to our terrific Crown small group!

My husband and I attended the Crown small group meeting class last year. My husband dragged me into it without me really understanding what I was in for. This was at a time that our financial condition was at its worst and our marriage was falling apart.
There was much resistance between us for a few weeks but with prayer and understanding that God is in control, we succumbed to the trials. We are now in a better position both in our relationship and financially. We are slowly incorporating the Crown principles into our lives and we are doing great. Thanks to you all!

I just completed the 10 week study at my church a couple of weeks ago. I have always been a giver, not only to my church, but also to individuals and other charities as the Lord has led me. Although I know that the Lord owns everything, I somehow thought that as long as I was faithful to give a little over my "10%", that I could spend the rest as I wanted.
By getting deeper into the homework and Bible study each week, I have come to realize more fully that the Lord owns the other 90% as well and that it is really not mine. I have been more aware of every purchase and have declined to buy some things that I otherwise would have before doing this study. I understand more clearly how the Lord wants me to manage all of the resources He has given us.
My goal for the moment is to trim down spending as much as possible and get out of credit card debt. We do have a little savings but need to get a few more months of living expenses saved up. Then, we would just have our mortgage and funding for our son's education and our retirement to work toward.
I am thankful for what I have learned over the past few weeks. It is a challenge for me to get the budget ironed out to where we can live with it, but at least I am more tuned in to the total picture and have set some financial goals. Thank you for the excellent study material. This study has changed my perspective on how I live out my faith in Christ in the daily realm of life and finances. Our lives as Christians should not be sectioned out into separate categories, but rather our lives should be seamless in our service to Christ. I long for the day when we no longer owe any outstanding debt. That will be so liberating!
