Money Mindset

Donovan Brooks is a Certified Financial Planner, the founder of Storyline Financial Planning, and the host of the Building Stewards podcast, where he dispenses biblical wisdom for where faith & finances meet. On this episode of CFO at Home Donovan and Vince discuss his thoughts on debt, money mindset, giving, and spending as seen through a Christian Biblical lens and more.

  • Key Takeaways:
    • Money problems are not always money problems, often they’re spiritual 
    • Know, Believe, Do
      • What you know shapes what you believe
      • What you believe dictates what you do
    • Debt is unavoidable for most for at least a season of life (even if it’s just mortgage). Have a plan to free yourself that debt as soon as possible. 
    • Christians struggle with the same money mindset issues as non-Christians ( jealousy, greed, lack of contentment and gratitude)
    • From a Christian perspective, giving should be done out of a sense of joy, not obligation 
    • Overspending often indicates an issue with contentment
    • To be a successful CFO at Home, be humble, remember that family money management is a team effort
