Family Stewardship
As professionals who have spent decades working with families and doing original research on ways to help them thrive across generations, we have long been concerned with two important questions:
What does the Bible teach us about passing those things that are more valuable than silver or gold to our children and grandchildren, and how, specifically, can we do that?
Where can young Christian families go for practical, proven, time-tested family stewardship programs that can help them defy the historical 90% failure odds that have devastated families for centuries?
We strongly believed that the process of stewardship and the passing of the non-financial (familial) assets of the family, as well as the fulfilling of biblical mandates regarding the teaching and training of our children and grandchildren, were needed in the church now more than at any time in history. And, we understood that the loss of the ‘familial’ wealth that is made up of the values, characteristics, traditions and stories that make each family unique is incalculable. Family failure sets ripples in motions that reach far beyond individual family members. Churches, communities, schools and society at large all suffer the consequences of family failure.
Study programs and training for financial stewardship are abundant in the church. But, when it comes to personal instruction / coaching in the area of Family Stewardship, there have been almost no resources available. That fact is what inspired us to write the Family Stewardship book and create the Family Stewardship Coaching program
