Dear Pastor,
What would it look like if you had a fully resourced church?
How many of your people — current members and first-time guests — would you like to grow spiritually through biblical stewardship?
The fact is that Stewardship is Discipleship. And in this brand new resource, I’ll show you a proven way to develop disciples as you cultivate giving in your church.
You will discover a step-by-step process to move people from non-giver to first-time giver, to regular giver to obedient giver/tither and ultimately extravagant giver.
I want to help you realize your church’s true giving potential and create a culture of consistent giving. So I went back into the studio and completely updated my best-selling Stewardship Seminar. All new learnings and strategies.
In this brand new resource, I bring to bear everything I’ve learned academically, everything I’ve learned as a pastor, and everything I’ve learned as a coach, to help you strengthen your Stewardship system. Because if your people aren’t giving, they’re not growing!
Introducing my most powerful, comprehensive Stewardship resource to date!

Bonus #1: Debt-Free Pastor ($29.95 value)
To create a culture of generosity, you must model God-honoring stewardship — and to model them as a pastor, you must be free from debt! Nelson Searcy and his wife, Kelley, set out to start a new church in Manhattan (one of the most expensive places to live in the world). But they soon discovered they were thousands of dollars in debt. As they studied scripture, they realized God had a plan for them to live debt-free, and that for Him to bless their church they needed to honor God with their finances.
Bonus #2: Money Matters in Church ($29.95 value)
Nelson Searcy and Steve Stroope (author of the book of the same name, Money Matters in Church) discuss some of the key financial issues that have to be addressed in leading your church in a God-honoring way.
