Discovering Responsible Wealth

Discovering Responsible Wealth will help you discover the principles of Responsible Wealth – principles that can change your life, to be good stewards of all the God has blessed us with, and to live life to its fullest potential.Frank’s message is simple: Finances have an impact on every aspect of your life. However, to have the life that God desires for us, your life must be in balance and money must be placed in the proper context. Discovering Responsible Wealth focuses on life’s “Wealth Building Blocks” – your faith, family, health, purpose and finances. Each week, our goal is to provide your with insight and information to help you make better informed financial decisions. The reality is that most of our actions are not in alignment with the outcomes in life that we desire. This is often true in many aspects of our life sometimes unknown to us. With the rapid pace of change in the world, you can’t afford to waste time, and you can’t afford to leave others responsible for your life or financial well-being. You have to take the time to understand the game, know the rules, and move ahead strategically if you expect to win. The game is constantly changing. You have to change too, from a casually involved participant, to the captain of your team. In the end, we want to help you discover, build, and share a life of true wealth and meaning; a life strategically created through the principles of Responsible Wealth.
