Let's talk about money 7 devotions for connecting with Jesus about "the green stuff"
Women will talk about almost everything...
We'll talk about what we wore three days ago and which
new diet program our neighbor is trying. We'll talk about our
favorite celebrity crush and how we're planning to style our
hair next season. We'll even talk about weird medical issues
we're experiencing and our secret insecurities. So why is it that we have a hard time talking candidly about money?
(Ahem—your latest bargain win doesn’t count….)
More specifically, why is it hard to talk to Jesus openly about
money? Yes, we pray for him to provide for us but do we...
...ask him how to order our budget?
...keep our eyes open all day for chances to give?
...listen for his next money-making plan for us?
...live in his peace when we're money-stressed?
Let's practice talking more about the green stuff...
We want to challenge ourselves and you to a week-long
money experiment. Each day we'll spark a unique money-
related conversation with Jesus and see what happens.
We can't predict the outcome, but we're guessing that...
...our stress over money will be replaced by peace.
...we'll notice new ways Jesus is providing for us, and find
extra gratitude in our hearts
...and we might even find a few surprising ideas about
how to earn and save more.

Here's an invitation to the life you didn't think was possible, with the Jesus you never knew.

But the truth is…you want more than that. You’re
bored. Exhausted. Tired of the grind.
You’re done with hearing about Jesus in sermons.
Reading about Jesus in devotions. You want to
encounter Jesus—and know him for who he really is.
You want to experience Jesus’ love, not just admire
him. To become a follower, not just a fan.
You know Jesus, you think he’s a nice guy, and you never forget his birthday.
