Welcome back to our ongoing series to Achieve your Money Goals in 2024!

We’re delving into a quietly crucial aspect in this fourth and final step in our series as I guide you through 3 Guidelines to SET YOUR VALUES.

Inspired by Galatians 5:22-23, we’ll consider the ‘fruits of the spirit’ as a foundation. But it doesn’t stop there; I’ll share other values like frugality, honesty, generosity, and more. These values aren’t just words on paper; they’re the behaviors that reflect who God made you to be on your faithful financial journey.

Remember that your journey towards financial goals is a process. We work to align each step with God and His plans for you to stay present, love God, love others, and make disciples. By doing so, you’re creating a robust financial foundation to Achieve your Money Goals in 2024 and even more that will be revealed!

PS – and some BIG & EXCITING NEWS to share at the end!! 🙂

In this episode, John discusses:

  • The role of values in stewardship success
  • The biblical foundation of setting values
  • A simple and powerful framework for setting financial values
  • 3 guidelines for effective financial values

Key Takeaways:

  • To Achieve your Money Goals in 2024, setting values is the crucial fourth step, guiding you to be among the minority who successfully fulfill their goals.
  • Values, represented by your unique qualities, shape the person you are and the one you want to become on your financial journey, forming a foundation for fruitful decision-making.
  • The process of setting values involves choosing, energizing, and keeping your values visible, providing a clear roadmap for making progress on your financial goals.
  • By aligning values with God and His truths, you strengthen your financial culture, contribute to goal achievement, and underscore the importance of a faith-driven, present-focused approach to your financial journey.

“Having a list of values is not much use if you don’t put them to use and keeping them visible is one of the best ways to have them remembered and to put them in a position that they are used and lived and talked about.”
