FOR CHURCH LEADERS: Generosity Learning Experience

March 19, 2013 in Conferences with 0 Comments

I’m so excited about the opportunity to speak at the Generosity Learning Experience (presented by INJOY Stewardship Solutions) that will be visiting six more cities over the next two months. If you are a church leader (or know one to invite), I believe you could be helped in a tremendous way by attending one of these special events.

In this one-day event, you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the top leaders in the area of increasing generosity and raising major dollars to fund the mission and vision of your church.

We’re going to be talking about increasing your regular giving as well as how to conduct a wildly successful capital stewardship campaign. The day will be full of practical wisdom and real-world examples to demonstrate application.

Each event runs from 8:30AM – 3:30PM, and the locations and dates are:

April 16, 2013 (TUES) Charlotte, NC
April 17, 2013 (WED) Indianapolis, IN
April 18, 2013 (THUR) Dallas, TX
May 7, 2013 (TUES) Baltimore, MD
May 8, 2013 (WED) St. Louis, MO
May 9, 2013 (THUR) Houston, TX

Here’s what you’ll take away:

The latest unreleased ISS resource that will help your church take its generosity to another level! Once released, this product will retail at $99, but every church that attends will receive it FREE of charge!
FREE lunch! (Who doesn’t love Chick-fil-a?)
Practical steps you can immediately implement to increase giving in your church by 30%
A step by step guide to developing BIG TIME generosity leaders in your church.

An Open Letter to Business Leaders and Pastors

October 9, 2012 in Event, Hope with 0 Comments

Dear Business Leader/Pastor,

As a leader, you encounter people who are in financial trouble. Statistics show that over 70% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. OVER SEVENTY PERCENT!

What does this mean for you, and why should this matter?

For business leaders, it has been shown that people who are struggling financially have lower productivity, are prone to attendance issues, and are unsatisfied with their pay – believing their pay is the reason for their financial hardship.

For pastors, people who struggle financially also struggle spiritually. People are unable to give as they would like because of their financial situation.

I have a question for you: What are you doing to financially equip your people?

Business Leaders: Do you just push their issues under the carpet and chuckle about the “OT” hogs? Perhaps you abdicate responsibility by saying, “We are a business, not an educational institution.” or “We can’t tell our people what to do with their money.”

Pastors: Do you teach about giving the full tithe, pushing non-givers into complete shame and guilt, without offering a way to make it happen? Do you share that “God says to ‘test me in this’”? or “Just give and God will make up the difference?”

WE MUST EQUIP PEOPLE! If we do not, who will? Marketers and salespersons providing a commercial to “buy our stuff and you will be happy” every six minutes!

I am on a CRUSADE to help people with their finances! I cannot simply stand by and watch others struggle with their finances the way I did! I cannot simply stand by and see others struggle KNOWING there is A BETTER WAY! I travel the planet to proclaim this, and I want to help you! Here are ways our team can help you:

Financial Learning Experience A 2 hour event, designed to fit your staff, congregation, and employee needs. It is a practical experience focused on the “how-to” of money management. It has been our honor to teach this to nearly 250,000 people over the past five years! Click HERE to start the conversation about a partnership.

Group Studies: I Was Broke. Now I’m Not. (for adults) and What Everyone Should Know About Money Before They Enter The Real World. (for high school/college students thru 20-somethings) Equip people to win with their money – regardless of their age! You can view the first video lesson and study questions for FREE by clicking HERE.

FREE TOOLS: We have nearly 100 free tools via “Free Tools” and also offer a free App for Apple and Android products!

Keynote Speaking: It is quite an honor to be able to speak over 120 times per year! Click HERE to fill out a speaking request for your special event.

Teaching Young People About Money

October 20, 2011 in What Everyone Should Know About Money, Youth with 2 Comments

I taught over 500 young people about money at West Ridge Church in Dallas, GA recently, and it was INCREDIBLE! I was teaching from my book, What Everyone Should Know About Money Before They Enter The Real World.

Here is what stood out to me:

They were very energetic – but also paid attention very well
The compound interest example captured ALL of their attention – even the 6th and 7th graders!
Young people dream more than adults
Their dreams are much less impacted by the potential financial cost
They are just more passionate about life – period!
Most of them are more aware of money and money issues than the young people I was teaching five years ago. I think the global recession has caused this generation to truly pay attention to money.
They clearly know that it is EZ™ to win with money!

FIRED UP!

Become a Trained Financial Coach!

March 24, 2011 in Event, FCE with 0 Comments

One of the biggest reasons the crusade is able to help people accomplish far more than they ever thought possible is because we have trained Financial Coaches all over the country. When we partner with a church or organization for a live event, we teach valuable principles and tools that equip people and provide them with hope and inspiration. But at the end of the day, we have to travel back home.

It is the Financial Coaches we train that provide the ongoing 1-on-1 help and assistance people need for their individual financial situations. Helping people put together a plan and showing them HOW they can win with their money is the most important thing, and Financial Coaches make it possible.

You might be interested in becoming a financial coach as well, but haven’t had the opportunity to go through our live training. The reason is usually we either haven’t been to your area or your church hasn’t launched a financial ministry yet. It might be that your church has been waiting for someone like you to step up and start the financial ministry!

Do you want to be a vital part of this crusade to help others win with their money? Are you winning with the management of your own personal finances, and are passionate about helping others accomplish the same? We are PUMPED to introduce you to possibly the most life-giving and joy-filled opportunity you may ever find:

Become trained to be a financial coach!

For only the second time EVER, we are making it possible for the right people to become a part of the crusade no matter where they live! The Financial Coaching Experience will be taught LIVE ONLINE on SATURDAY, April 9th, from 9AM to 3PM Eastern Time!

DETAILS
