“Christians shouldn’t talk about money.”
How often have we heard that statement thrown about? Whenever a Christian organization brings up finances, this seems to be the refrain uttered throughout the narthex and the chapel. However, I beg to differ: because we are Christians, we must talk about money. Why?
Because it’s not ours. We’re managing God’s money here on earth, teaching our kids how to manage God’s money here on earth, and being examples of Christ through our everyday living (which, at least in my city, requires money).
Recently, my husband and I began exploring another element of managing God’s money: planned giving.

Ensuring that the organizations you care about can continue to provide gospel-centered Christian care to people around the world for the foreseeable future.

It is action-oriented, outward-focused, open to all.

We all have an ideal picture of what our life will look like. When we’ll get married, how many (if any) kids we’ll have, how many dogs we'll have, where we’ll live, what kind of work we’ll do, etc.
Until the unexpected happens. In that moment, our image of what we had hoped for our life crumbles.
When an unexpected tragedy struck the Hahn family, it seemed like nothing good could come from it. But God brought the Hahn family through their darkest moments and showed them how they could create joy out of their sadness...
