The Bible has so much to say about money.
Most Christians want to manage money well but they've never learned how. Open Hands Finance is a small group course that teaches young adults basic money management and how to thrive on any income.
How it works
Listen to the podcast. A 10-20 minute podcast goes with each session and can be listened to inside or outside of your group time.
Complete the workbook. Each podcast has an accompanying chapter in the workbook with discussion questions, case studies, and a practical exercise.
Gain confidence in your financial decisions. At the end of your study, you'll have implemented smart actions for your financial future, created a framework for making financial decisions, and gained a newfound perspective on handling the resources you've been given.
