Description

For any given dollar, we face the reality that we cannot save and give it simultaneously, yet we are called to do both. This creates a profound paradox in our financial lives: we are called to be responsible stewards who are radically generous. Financial principles alone cannot resolve this tension. This breakout session will demonstrate how metaphor, story, and art can serve as transformative tools to bring clarity and deeper understanding to the complexities of this financial paradox.

Learning Objectives

Grasp the tension between responsible stewardship—managing resources with prudence—and radical generosity—freely giving of those resources—through a faith-based lens. Learn how to clearly articulate this financial paradox to clients, using relatable analogies and storytelling to make the concepts accessible and meaningful. Explore key biblical teachings on stewardship and generosity, and understand how to integrate them into financial advising in a way that resonates with clients' values and beliefs. Discover how inspiring biographies and real-life examples can serve as powerful tools to motivate and challenge clients toward a balanced approach to stewardship and generosity.
