Family Life offers to everyone “FREE” basic counseling and education. The basic counseling is to discover where you are in your financial journey and address any immediate needs that are found. Within that process we will teach you some very basic money management techniques and how to reduce some of the costs of every day living. These basic instructions are something everybody can use, however much of our instruction and education is done for churches, civic and professional organizations, and private businesses. Read on for more details.
Workshops
Family Life Resources offers a powerful program of workshops dealing from
the simplest of financial matters to the most complex. Our workshops
demonstrate how the financial and credit systems work and how they impact
you. It is our hands-on approach and visual demonstrations that help people
quickly see for themselves how they are being affected and which way they
are headed. Our workshops get right into the dollar and cents of everyday
living. Many churches, private businesses, civic and government
organizations, public and private schools, and various groups continue to
invite us to share with them (see Testimonials). The average workshop lasts
less than 2 hours dealing with a single subject such as; understanding my
credit report, how to get out of debt faster, budgets (how to start one that
works), how using cash can save you big dollars, how to have real financial
freedom, the truth about stewardship, etc. or you can schedule an all day in
depth workshop lasting 6 to 8 hours utilizing a number of the topics. The
all day workshops are ideal for churches that are struggling financially or
simply just need their congregation to be better stewards!

Seminars
Our Seminar program is very similar to the workshop program. The primary
difference is, it is only designed to last 45-75 minutes and focuses on
major points. Your group will hear some very current information that
impacts their lives. Each seminar is highly educational and very often
enlightens listeners to seek out personal counseling. What is unique about
our seminars is the practical information that most people come away with.
It can be very eye opening! At this time we do seminars on a donation or
love offering basis. We have done them for groups as small as 5 and as large
as 700. Please contact us today for more information. (800)553-8621 or
e-mail us.
Speakers
Family Life Resources is blessed to have a group of highly trained,
qualified, experienced and gifted speakers. Each speaker has experience in
speaking to a variety of organizations. Our speakers have spoken at:
cooperative government and small business educational programs, professional
associations, large and small churches, recovery groups, qualified
continuing education classes, civic organizations, small ladies groups, and
etc. Our speakers are available to speak at nearly every kind of meeting or
event. Our policy is to discuss the type of group that you have and your
needs. We then can determine who would be the best speaker for your group.

Sermons
There is nothing more powerful for a congregation than to hear a Sunday
morning message that gives them hope and encouragement. Most Christians feel
the freedom they have in the forgiveness of their sins, but many still feel
the bondage of “debt” and struggles of “materialism”. Money issues have
quickly become one of the top reasons divorce is at 50% in our churches
today. Family Life’s ministerial staff deliver inspirational messages that
will enlighten and mobilize your congregation to get their finances in order
and to be better stewards. Each sermon is packed with factual information
that will challenge and motivate every Christian in your church. We share
Biblical truths about money, debt, credit and prosperity and put it into
terms of how it affects their daily living. We do not sugar-coat the
message. God called Family Life to tell His people the truth about how the
world’s way can quickly get you into bondage. Our mission is to help set
them free!
