“Money Matters” in Overflow Youth Ministry!
Our Overflow High School group recently had the privilege of having Garret Venetta come and speak about the topic of money. The Bible speaks twice as often about money than it does about Heaven, Hell, fear, and prayer combined! As a financial advisor and a member of the Violet Finance Team, Garret was the ideal person to come and share insights with our group. In an interview format, Garret began by unpacking a Biblical understanding of spending, saving, and giving. He helped our group to understand the power of compounding interest working for you (investments) and against you (debit)! There was a very helpful conversation about the dangers of credit card misuse and the strain that this can cause on individuals and families. Our students face tough financial decisions with the increasing popularity of sports betting, and the ever-increasing cost of college. Garret was able to handle these and other issues with Biblical wisdom and clarity. Our students were very engaged in this topic and walked away with an expanded view of financial stewardship as an act of worship. Thank you Garret for your willingness to help mentor our students in this vital area of discipleship!
