47 - We Are Just The Money Managers | Beverly Grant

The Kingdom Investor

“We are just the money managers.” As good stewards of God’s resources, our lives are governed by this dictum. We listen to God’s voice and obey HIs bidding as He tells us where to direct the material resources that He’s entrusted to us. We make certain lifestyle choices to ensure that our needs are met while also being mindful that we are summoned by God to partake in His generosity.

In this episode, we interview Beverly Grant who shares her journey to financial freedom and living a life of purpose. Beverly made certain lifestyle choices to ensure that her kids got their education while being faithful to her goal to give 10% and save 10%.
