Financial Stewardship with Pastor Jason McKinnies

The phrase Financial Stewardship gets thrown around quite a bit in our society, but what does it mean exactly? The truth is it can mean something a little different to everyone. To an organization, financial stewardship might mean protecting the long-term assets of that organization in a moral and ethical way. To an individual, it may mean making purchasing decisions that align with your values such as living within your means, staying out of debt, and perhaps even donating to charity. Since Farmers State Bank is a Christian bank, we wanted to take a closer look at what the bible says about being a good financial steward, so we asked the best resource we could possibly think of; our own pastor! On this episode we sat down with Pastor Jason McKinnies of Purpose House Church to talk about what it looks like to be a good financial steward! From holding space for his church members to take courses on financial freedom, to building a multi-million dollar church completely debt free, we learned so much about living a life of financial stewardship and we know you will to.
