We have been enjoying the Dad Summit in the live webinar sessions this week.

Norm Wakefield and Todd Wilson have given us very helpful messages on identity, turning our hearts toward our children, our “father power”, and how to love our wives and live with them in an understanding way.

The recordings have turned out great and should be available for access on Wednesday to those who have registered for the Dad Summit.

Tonight we will have another special guest.

Craig Hill is the Founder of Family Foundations Intl. His passion is helping God’s people discover and walk in God’s very best for our lives.

One of the primary areas is finances and money.

Craig teaches on this topic in a very unique way, especially on Jesus’ admonition about serving God vs. mammon and seeking first God’s Kingdom.

This is a VERY positive message and life-changing.

Craig’s little book, Living On The Third River, absolutely revolutionized my thinking about money in a way no other book on money and finances has.

I have shared this book with others and it has transformed their thinking and perspective about money, mammon, blessing, and abundance, and raised their trust in God to a new level.

Craig will be with us tonight at 9pm and 10pm Eastern.

If you get this email in time, it’s not too late to join us at the live Dad Summit webinar sessions tonight with Craig.

You can register at this link and also get access to the recordings of all the other sessions too–

The short video clip below discusses a common topic that I suspect affects many if not most dads. Craig Hill shares a perspective that you may never have thought of before. This perspective may forever change the way you view this topic. I strongly suggest the resource mentioned below the video.

For more on this topic of debt, mammon, and money, I highly recommend the resource “Living On The Third River” by Craig Hill. It changed my paradigm about money in a way no other book has (outside the Bible) using a modern-day parable and rock solid truly life-changing teaching about money, provision, financial security, mammon, faith, generosity, abundance, and blessing others, from a spiritual perspective with practical application to our financial decisions and how we live our lives.

As you probably know, the US stock market had its largest single day drop in history yesterday. Many politicians at the federal level are trying their best to dump $700 billion of bad debt onto the US taxpayers. And all across the news headlines lately are stories of declining economies and financial uncertainty.

However, for us family dads, it does not have to be a season of financial despair and discouragement.

Earlier this year, my wife and I were sitting in a large church gathering when the pastor took a quick “diversion” from his sermon to make a very heart-felt and urgent plea. He said “Do whatever you have to do to get completely out of debt as soon as possible.” And then he returned to his sermon topic. My wife and I both looked at each other and felt very clearly his instruction was directed specifically to us.

Fellow dad, I want to strongly encourage you with these same words.

Debt is when we buy things we don’t currently have the money on hand to purchase. It is the result of either a failure on our part to delay a purchase until provision exists. Or it is simply used in complete ignorance of the spiritual power behind debt.

When we use debt to buy something, we are willingly placing ourselves in bondage to both the financial lender as well as in the spiritual realm. I believe it is a form of idolatry. We are replacing God by presumptuously satisfying our desires or needs through borrowing money to pay for something, instead of awaiting His provision in His timing.

Author Craig Hill says that “there is a spirit behind personal debt, which will hinder the flow of finances in one’s life.” The weight of paying back money you don’t have, along with the pile of interest that builds up, creates a form a slavery –  and YOU and your family become the slaves. This is NOT what we want for ourselves nor for our family.

So again, let me pass on to you the words that so strongly resonated within me when I heard them…

“Do whatever you have to do to get completely out of debt as soon as possible.”

A helpful resource on the topic of the spiritual power behind money is Living On The Third River by Craig Hill. Two very practical resources on debt, provision, and spiritual laws relating to money are Your Financial Revolution 5-CD Audio Set and the book Fixing The Money Thing by Gary Keesee. All of these resources and more are available in the “Money” section at www.DadResources.com

Is there financial pressure in your home?

Financial tension with your spouse?

Is your primary focus on making more money?

Is there anxiety in your life over your financial condition?

Does earning money make you feel “successful”?

From one dad to another, I strongly encourage that you read
“Living On The Third River.”

It’s a quick, easy read that will radically change your thinking about money.

It begins with a story of three men who live on the side of a mountain along three rivers and how each man uses the water flowing down his river. The water represents money, and the way each man responds to the flow of water in his river reveals his true beliefs about provision.

You will quickly spot which river you are living on.

This book is about the spiritual power behind money and it’s influence on people.

Although it’s not a “kid’s book”, this is also an excellent resource to teach your children the truth about money, the spiritual power behind it, and the true source of financial provision.

I’ve read the story aloud with my children and will continue to do so regularly. I will even make this required reading for them on their journey to adulthood.

But don’t be mis-led. This book is for YOU, Dad.

It’s message can totally transform you in your understanding of money, the spiritual power behind it, the true source of provision, and how to become a financial blessing to others.
