How do I give my kids a leg up, but not two legs up on the couch?

In this episode, Jeff and Kate discuss:

  • Being all-in for the Kingdom, even when in secular spaces.
  • Creating positive investing and generosity experiences from a young age.
  • Avoiding Sudden Wealth Syndrome.
  • Believing in your children and giving them agency.
  • Fostering healthy money communication.

Key Takeaways:

  • God can work in all places - not just holy places.
  • Our brains are literally not built to take in large amounts of money at one time or handle the overwhelm of options that comes along with it.
  • You need to understand that God owns it all. Your investments are a work that you do to steward the Lord’s resources.
  • There is blessing and struggle in empowerment. Deliver that to your children.
  • Healthy family stewardship is built out of healthy communication.

"I really encourage families to think about giving their kids sums of money and not just controlled, restricted family foundation board seats or trust payments every year. For me, I've wrestled with it; I've been through hard things with it, but I have grown so much in having the stewardship agency that I do." — Kate Gardner
