Women’s workshop: 5 ways we relate to God and money
The NCF Michigan team was recently honored to host a group of ladies in Grand Rapids for a workshop led by Christian Financial Counselor Courtney Markley. The topic, “5 ways we relate to God and money,” encouraged guests to consider their primary view of God and how that shapes their attitude toward saving, spending, and giving. Courtney reminded us that seeing God as our loving Father helps us view ourselves and our resources rightly.
We understand that women have been entrusted with a specific calling from God to influence their communities for His glory through the resources He’s placed in their hands. This women’s gathering was designed to help guests grow in confidence and clarity around generosity for Kingdom purposes. Attendees enjoyed brunch, small group discussion, and a hands-on workshop led by author, speaker, and counselor Courtney.
Thank you to all the women who came ready to share and dive into this important discussion! To learn more about this topic or request resources, reach out to michigan@ncfgiving.com.
