Joseph Sevier is an Associate Pastor at Living Hope Christian Center in Emeryville, CA. He lives in Emeryville with his wife, Andrea. He blogs at www.josephsevier.org.
Here’s a few key takeaways from the conversation:
- Taking responsibility for your financial situation is part of growing up. God will bless you, but you have to do something, because desires to bless what you do.
- The tension between money and ministry must be overcome by avoiding the extremes of a “one or the other” perspective.
- While money is the primary cause of divorce, it is also a great opportunity for building intimacy in a marriage.
- Dave Ramsey’s “debt snowball” concept.
I hope you enjoy this episode. I certainly enjoyed recording it. And I pray that this conversation might encourage you to seek God for a vision for the financial future of your family.
And if you need a financial pick-me-up, you might want to pick up a copy of Dave Ramsey’s book, The Total Money Makeover. It could be the encouragement you need to move forward!
Many blessings and much love!
