#188: Kingdom Economics & Managing Money God's Way, From a Female Financial Teacher

We all want more money, but are you managing your finances properly now, the way the Bible directs us? What are your family's economic goals for this New Year? This Alabama native, mom of 4, and 4th generation entrepreneur has some expert advice on budgets, saving, giving, what God says about money, and "kingdom economics." (3:40) Charline Oworu will be teaching free sessions on blueprints and "Financial Foundations for Building Your Year" this Saturday afternoon, January 20, at the Columbus GA public library on Macon Road. What does God and money have to do with each other? Charline describes what Kingdom Economics is, which involves financial discipline and giving to help advance His Kingdom. And there are also other tithes besides money, she says. (9:33) She also breaks down the basics of budgeting like a recipe and (14:35) talks about making small realistic goals for 2024. Maybe changes with your Starbucks purchases? Charline explains how an emergency fund and small adjustments can lead to financial peace, which can help with your physical and spiritual health too. Tell your money what to do! (20:40) God is our provider - when our motives are aligned with his - but she asks, what will you do "when the riches are released?" As a mother and as a teacher of financial classes for young people, she has quick lessons about investing in things you believe in, delayed gratification, and helping others. This entrepreneur (33:25) wants to see others prosper but she has a few specific things anyone can do to learn, improve, and get other people to know about the product or service you provide. (37:38) Charline closes our chat with more specifics on what The Bible says about money, investing, filling needs, being successful. (49:00) I close the episode in prayer.
