Kojo Hayford Biblical Finance 101 Student

After taking Biblical Finance 101 I had to re-evaluate the ways in which I spent resources in my possession. And as a result, have a renewed respect for money because I learned that 100% of it did not truly belong to me. I became aware, that as a follower of Christ, there was a role that my finances had to play in my daily living here on earth.  

There have been many benefits associated with taking the course, but one of the biggest is that my wife and I now share  the same perspective on finances. We look at money using the same biblical framework, and this has led to a greater desire for us to use our finances jointly in advancing God’s Kingdom on earth. Finances play a big part in most if not all marriages, so having joint understanding in respect to the place they should have, helps us to be unified. There’s also a sense of joy knowing that we are doing meaningful work with our finances which has an ultimately God-glorifying purpose.

The knowledge gained in this course is life changing, and a lot of your previous views on finances will most likely be challenged. Understanding the Bible and what it has to say about God and how He looks at finances can help any follower of Christ to truly align their financial goals, and perhaps even their life, towards pursuits that will in the end lead to true financial freedom.
