Let’s be honest—whenever money comes up in church, something shifts in the room. You can almost feel the tension. For so many people, conversations about giving, tithing, or stewardship trigger more than just questions; they trigger emotions, past hurts, even skepticism.

Some people have been burned by churches or leaders who used guilt and manipulation to raise money. Others feel ashamed of their financial struggles and quietly wonder if they belong in these conversations at all. And many simply don’t get why money is even a “church thing” to begin with.

You may have heard the statistic that Jesus spoke more about money and possessions than any other topic during His earthly ministry. While some debate the accuracy of this claim, it’s undeniable that Jesus had much to say on the subject.

Like so many areas of life, the COVID-19 pandemic turned the investing world upside down. But not in the ways you might imagine. 

It is difficult to watch the events happening in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine and consider the level of brutality that people can impose on one another. That kind of behavior seems inhuman.

There's a real danger in Christianity today to believe that all it takes to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven is to say a prayer. Don't get me wrong! The prayer of confession is absolutely necessary. But, the scripture says explicitly, "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) 

Here at the Christian Stewardship Network, we believe that God is the provider of all things, and it is He who gives us the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and the direction and wisdom we are to manage that wealth. Because the world's ways of handling money are contrary to God's ways, causing people to fall into financial and spiritual bondage, our mission is to train church leaders in God's financial principles and equip them to teach them to their congregations.

People often need more than a message to give more. Discover how biblical, practical financial discipleship builds confidence, freedom, trust, and generosity.
