You should give Intro to Church Finances a 7-day risk-free shot if you're motivated by any of the following:
01
You want peace of mind.
There's nothing like laying in bed at night and retracing all the steps from your work day when you just really want to go to sleep... worrying if you forgot to do something that had a deadline, or wondering if you even did something correctly. You so desperately want a good night's sleep and not have to worry about work. I have "been there, done that" WAY more nights than I like to admit. I have found out how to stop that vicious cycle and you can too: by eliminating the guess-work on your financial duties and knowing in your "knower" that the job has been done and done well.
02
You're not afraid of spending the money when you realize the value of your investment.
By now, you know that you get what you pay for. When money is tight, you want to "buckle down" and only spend on necessities so you can try and save for later. However, you also realize that sometimes you NEED to spend the money necessary to learn what you didn't even know you needed to learn in order to protect those you love... and that includes the church. When you take the step of faith and invest in your skills, as well as the financial health of your church, it's a win-win for all!
03
You realize that things are always changing and you need to keep up to protect your church.
There is ALWAYS something new to learn... regardless of age or years of experience. Did you realize the US Tax Code is updated more often than your cell phone operating system? Gaining up-to-date training is the best thing you can do for yourself, and your church.
