Financial Peace @ Catalyst

Last month, Josh Allen and Matt Simon from our staff team joined me at a leadership conference in Atlanta where we heard from Christian leaders who are getting it done for the Kingdom.  One of the speakers that rocked our world was Dave Ramsey (maybe you’ve seen him as a guest on CNN, the Today Show, etc).

Anyhow, in less than 42 minutes, he gave a compelling (and hilarious) talk on the need for God’s people to be completely debt-free.  Imagine all that the people of God could do for the Kingdom of God if only we were free of all debt!

Long story short, Financial Peace University is coming to Catalyst this January as our official class on personal finances.  Beginning Tuesday, January 20th, we’ll spend 13 classes together at the125 learning from Dave Ramsey via DVD and utilizing Scripture-based tools for digging out of the hole too many of us find ourselves in.  The neat thing about the Financial Peace classes is that it’s not only a discipleship tool, but also an outreach opportunity – - feel free to invite family, friends, and co-workers.

We’re aiming to fill up the red conference room at the125, 7pm on Tuesday nights in 2009 and would LOVE to have you join us!  The cost per family unit (if you are single, you are your own family unit) is $93 (covers the plethora of financial materials you will have in-hand; totally worth it).  A preview video of FPU is available at Dave Ramsey’s website.
