Money is emotional - Part 3
My Christian faith shapes my relationship with money through one belief: I will give an account of what I do with what has been entrusted to me.
That affects how I work, how I serve and how I think about success.
In business, accounts help us examine what is happening. What came in? What went out? What do we own? What do we owe?
I find it interesting that the same word, “account”, carries such weight in my faith.
It makes me ask questions that a bank balance cannot answer.
Have I served people well? Have I handled responsibility carefully? What have I done with the time and ability I have been given?
I enjoy good restaurants, travelling and watches. Anyone who knows me knows that.
But those things sit within a bigger understanding of why I work.
When money is emotional, purpose helps me stay grounded. There is something beyond the excitement of earning or the discomfort of spending.
For me, building wealth carries responsibility.
What would it look like to review your money alongside the good you want it to do?
