Join us for an enlightening event that reveals how embracing biblical principles and entrusting your finances to God can lead to a life filled with purpose and joy, rather than dullness.

Experience the joy of making a lasting impact and achieving the best return on your investment—both for your family and for eternity. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your faith and enhance your financial stewardship!

Bill and Dana Wichterman, authors of Stewards Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith, will share their transformative journey of surrendering their finances to the Lord. They discovered that true fulfillment comes from using their God-given resources to expand His kingdom, serve others, and invest in endeavors of eternal significance.

In this engaging pre-recorded session, the Wichtermans will discuss how they have intentionally woven their faith into their financial decisions, found peace through transparency about finances, and creatively supported Christian businesses and ministries. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls of investing in anti-Christian causes while ethically growing your wealth and supporting meaningful initiatives.
