Your Own Money Toolkit
When we being putting together our special CONSP!RE: Economy of God: Your Money or Your Life, we realized something. A lot of our friends and coconspirators already had great tools for exploring our relationship with money. Many of them had been working through some of the spiritual issues around money for years. Some of them had neat testimonies of how they lived with a common purse. Others talked about how they budgeted, or tried to pay justly in their organizations.
We have compiled some of these tools here.
This toolkit is appropriate for individuals and groups to work through. There are also some first-person articles as well as the longer versions of articles we couldn’t print in their full length in the magazine.
You’ll find:
- A longer version of our opening article by Claudio Oliver. This one is really worth reading in full form!
- Worksheet for small groups or individuals who want to work through with money issues or do a budget. Mark Scandrette’s article in the issue (p. 20) discusses using these tools in small groups.
- 50 Ways to Fade your Footprint, contributed by Anton Flores and friends
- Two worksheets from coconspirer Relational Tithe to help you probe what money means to you. 1)The Money Motivation Quiz and 2) Making a Money Plan: Questions
- Common Purse 101: a true account of how one community works its common purse.
