• You were not prepared in seminary for the economic realities or challenges of leading a church in the 21st century; in fact, there wasn't a single class devoted to the topic.
• You feel the pressure to lead your church from mere survival to financial stability but don't know what to do beyond that which you've already done (i.e., cut the budget, layoff staff, encourage generosity, etc.)
• You barely have time in the day to do all that is already required or expected let alone try to solve a problem you were not equipped to solve or to overcome the financial obstacles you are now facing.
