169 - It's Time to Achieve Your Money Goals! - #4 of 4: Set your Values

In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up the final part of our four-part series (well almost...there's a bonus episode to come!) on achieving your money goals in 2025 by focusing on the power you tap into as you SET YOUR VALUES.

Values align your financial decisions, keep you grounded in who you’re called to be, as part of God's greater story. We’ll explore three steps to define, energize, and live out your values, helping you stay on course for wise and faithful stewardship.

Let’s finish this series strong and with purpose!

In this episode, John discusses: 

• The role of values in achieving financial goals

• Guidelines for defining personal core values

• The importance of aligning values with faith-based principles

• Practical ways to integrate values into daily financial decisions 

Key Takeaways:

• Identify your core values by prayerfully reflecting on scriptural truths, such as Galatians 5:22-23, and focus on qualities like generosity, patience, or faithfulness that align with who you are and who God is calling you to become.

• Add descriptive words to your values (e.g., “peaceful patience” or “intentional generosity”) and write detailed explanations to clarify what those values mean in practice, ensuring they inspire and motivate your financial journey.

• Keep your values visible by writing them down, displaying them prominently in places like the door of your refrigerator or family vision board, and regularly discussing them during meals or meetings to reinforce their importance.

• Let your values serve as a guide for every financial decision—whether saving, giving, spending and more—so that you and your choices remain faithful to God’s plan, reflect your priorities, and create a lasting legacy of unity and purpose. 

“When your lessons are fresh, your vision is clear, your mission is aligned, and your values are being lived out, you become the person God is creating you to be, using your financial resources wisely to help you achieve your money goals.”
