Bountiful: The Heart of Money Management

Bountiful: The Heart of Money Management examines how Christians can maintain the proper perspective on material wealth and its purpose in our lives. Being rich in this world is very different than being rich toward God. Gary and Christy will look to the Scriptures to discuss how Christians can use their money and possessions to the glory of God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).

#6 of Bountiful: The Heart of Money Management

Dreams vs Goals

Most of us want something - a raise at work, more savings, less debt, upgrading, or downsizing - but do we do anything to achieve those things? Are we looking at specific ways to accomplish what we want, or do we resign these ideals as impossible hopes and dreams? In this episode, we talk about the differences between dreams and goals to show how having goals can change our lives better than dreams can. Listen, and let us know what you think!Episode Resources:https://www.secretsofsuccess.com/blog/the-strangest-secret-earl-nightingale
