Soteria Community School: Faith and Money: making the connection

Money is an emotionally charged issue, often generating anxiety and guilt mixed with gratitude. What is your relationship to money? Do you love it? Hate it? Do you abuse it? Ignore it? What does the Bible say about money? What does Jesus teach about money? What does our culture say? Do you live with a sense of abundance or a sense of scarcity? We will help each other wrestle with these questions and more as we explore the biblical, personal, and cultural dimensions of our relationship to money.

2018 NEXT Church National Gathering

Faith and Money Network will be leading a workshop during the 2018 NEXT Church National Gathering: Title: Leading Fully and Freely: Deepening Spiritual Authority Around Issues of Money. Description: In many churches, issues of money and budget are wilderness places: leaders must navigate competing priorities, anxiety about scarcity, and the perennial stewardship campaign. One way to lead with deeper spiritual authority is to work with the ways in which we ourselves are not free with respect to money. In this workshop, we will reflect on our own money stories and the practice of leading by example. What is our theology of money? How do we model a faithful relationship to money?

Justice Giving: An Opportunity for Reflection

Faith and Money Network Workshop, May 17, 6:30-8:00 pm Justice Giving: An Opportunity for Reflection Potters House, Washington DC Register here Can our giving help create justice?

Workshop Leader: Mark Ewert combines leadership coaching with philanthropy advising. He is an International Coaching Federation, […]

Trip of Perspective Haiti

We will learn about Haiti’s culture, its history and policies in relation to the US, and experience solidarity and accompaniment in action.

Daily reflection will anchor our experience. We seek to listen, learn and be present to the lives, circumstances, and relationships we experience in Haiti. Alongside our encounter with material poverty is an encounter […]
