BACK TO GOD HOUR E-mail

Every Sunday at 7pm on KBEK (95.5FM) Radio

January 10th "Seven things I want my kids to know about money" Money has almost become a taboo subject today. Yet somehow we still need to teach our children about money. What do our kids need to know about handling cash? And how will we teach those principles to them?

January 17th "Christ and Credit" Credit cards and loans are a normal part of our everyday lives, but they don’t just affect our finances. They affect our mental and spiritual well being too. How can we make wise, biblically informed decisions about our finances?
