I have noticed pastors making mistakes with church finances. When I came into ministry it was after a long business career, so I’m sometimes considered unique in my involvement or interest in our church finances. Working with different churches over the years, I’ve seen lots of approaches by pastors in this area of finances.

I came into ministry after a long business career, so I’m sometimes considered unique in my involvement or interest in our church finances. I work closely with our Business Administrator and finance committee on the budget and administration of our church finances. Related posts: Funded and Free: Helping Church Finances.

In my last church, some of our best leaders on our finance committee, for example, had never served in leadership in the church. They were, however, tremendous leaders in their careers. These are sometimes “big asks”, but in my experience they won’t often get involved until they are asked.

Just as adults may have a plan for their career or finances, parents need a plan for operating their home. I think it starts before the moments you are sitting around the den. You seldom hit a target you aren’t aiming to hit — certainly less likely to hit one you haven’t defined.

You can throw away the script in: Your career. Your finances. Throw away the scripts… They likely won’t work anyway. Most of the time. Your relationship life. Your health. Your personal walk with God. Yea, I wrote that…but it’s true. I know we like scripts. It’s easier. Less messy. More tidy.

Is it to begin a new chapter in your career life? Is it to simply trust Him with your finances, your family or your future? Is it to end a relationship you know is not God-honoring? Is it to step out in faith into some ministry opportunity? Is it to forgive the person who hurt you the most?
