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<\/a>. The topic, \u201c5 ways we relate to God and money,\u201d 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that women have been entrusted with a specific calling from God to influence their communities for His glory through the resources He\u2019s placed in their hands. This women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
