Financial Discipleship - Investing in Eternity
Discipleship is crucial to Christianity. We are called to be disciples of Jesus and follow him in all that we do, including the way we manage finances. In his recently released book, Financial Discipleship - Investing In Eternity, author Peter Briscoe invites us on a journey of financial discipleship and shows us why finances are so vital to our intimacy and devotion to Christ.

What you will hear in this episode
A disciple is a person who has an ongoing, life-changing, relationship with Jesus Christ, and gladly shares what he or she has learned with others.
A disciple by definition is also geared to making other disciples.
Jesus said, “you cannot serve both God and mammon. So this money “power” is competing for our devotion, and if we don’t learn to steward this power, this money, then it will take over our devotion.
The first outcome of a financial disciple is to know Christ more intimately.
I think that financial problems which were exhibited by this young man were an outside indicators of an internal spiritual problem that he had. He was selfish, greedy, he refused to wait, not loving his father, but loving money and the high life.
Someone said to me when I was a young Christian, Peter, show me your bank statement and I will show you what you’re living for.
Financial discipleship is a journey, and the destination is Christ-likeness.
