Thriving In A Bad Economy

This class is designed to help people focus on key financial strategies to survive in a difficult economy.  Specific tools are discussed to increase "financial margin" by lowering expenses and increasing savings.  This seminar seeks to bring focus to the three equally important aspects of money...the practical, the emotional and the spritual to equip people to survive in difficult financial times and to think differently about money.  

Throughout the seminar, participants are continually drawn back to the basic biblical principles underlying the teaching and helped to develop an understanding of the important spiritual aspect of managing money.
