Spring is getting closer as winter begins to fade and it’s time to freshen with a little spring cleaning!

But we’re not just tidying up your home and yard; it’s the perfect time to spruce up your money, too! 

In this episode, we’re diving into three simple steps for your financial spring cleaning. Drawing wisdom from timeless scriptures and practical insights, we’ll align our financial decisions with our faith, setting the stage for intentional stewardship and spiritual growth at this special time of year.



In this episode, John discusses: 

  • Embracing the transition to Spring
  • A reflective journey from winter wear to spring renewal
  • Three simple steps to achieve financial spring cleaning for a clearer financial path

Key Takeaways:

  • As we approach spring, it’s time to reflect on our surroundings, like the beloved screen porch at our house, reminding us that spring brings fresh renewal and care.
  • Begin your financial spring cleaning by wiping away the accumulated dust of unnoticed expenses, those small yet significant payments that, like hidden particles on our porch, can accumulate and cloud your financial clarity over time.
  • Just as we sweep up the dirt tracked onto our porch daily, look at your daily spending habits and options for improvement.
  • Like attending to your herds, review your financial activities, asking crucial questions about what’s working, what’s not, and taking intentional action to maintain financial health and alignment with your values.

“As you embark on this, remember it’s an ongoing process. You don’t have to wait until spring to do it. This could be something you do every ninety days.”
