Evangelism Resources

In recent years, many of us ignored the wisdom of the past when it came to managing and spending our money. Credit card debt soared, savings rates plummeted, and our home equity became something to be tapped into and spent rather than a source of security in retirement.

The result of all of this was not greater happiness and satisfaction, but greater stress and anxiety.
