Money talk. There are entire cable networks, magazines, newspapers, and websites dedicated to the discussion and dissection of money issues. Helping people with their finances is a hot topic everywhere you look— except churches!

Dick Towner says it’s time for that to change. For more than 30 years, Dick’s passion has been helping others understand and apply biblical principles of sound stewardship.

“This topic of financial stewardship is one of the most intimidating, misunderstood and avoided areas in the life of believers and in our churches, but one of the most important,” Dick says. “Issues of stewardship are critical to the church and have huge spiritual implications for Christ-followers.”

Dick refers to this as “The Stewardship Dilemma” and it will be his focus when CCN hosts “Good Sense Stewardship” on Tuesday, August 26. This live, interactive training seminar is designed to help churches and individuals better understand practical ways to become better stewards of God’s resources.

This seminar will help you:
• Explore the factors behind the stewardship dilemma
• Learn how to overcome the stewardship dilemma
• Identify and apply the foundation for a stewardship culture
• Identify the steps in implementing a financial stewardship ministry in your church

Get ready for money talk. . .from a biblical perspective.
