How Do I Teach My Kids About Money? A Christian Parent's Guide

Money is an important topic that many parents feel unprepared to discuss and often fail to intentionally prepare their children for. Should kids receive an allowance? Should they tithe? How do we teach generosity, hard work, contentment, and wise stewardship in a world that constantly encourages more, more, more?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shane Enete of Biola University to discuss why financial literacy is an essential part of discipleship. Together, we explore biblical principles for teaching children about money, practical ways to introduce saving, spending, and giving, and how parents can intentionally shape their children's hearts long before they begin earning their own income.Whether your children are preschoolers or teenagers, this conversation will equip you to raise kids who not only understand money, but who also understand that everything we have ultimately belongs to God.In this episode, we discuss:• Why teaching kids about money is a discipleship issue• Biblical examples of stewardship and financial wisdom• Navigating allowances and earning money• Teaching children to give and tithe joyfully• Practical ways to raise financially responsible kids• Helping children develop contentment in a culture of consumerismBecause we are not simply raising children who know how to make money. We are raising future stewards of all that God has entrusted to them.How to connect with Dr Shane:Listen to the Money Storybook Bible Follow Dr Shane on Instagram ⁠⁠How to connect with Raising Rock:Learn more about ⁠Raising Rock⁠.Follow Raising Rock on ⁠Instagram⁠ and ⁠Pinterest⁠.⁠⁠ ⁠On our website, you’ll find our products and merch, parenting tools and resources, and a deeper look into who we are and the heart behind Raising Rock.On the Resources page, you’ll also discover free downloads created just for families—practical tools to help you raise a ROCK, a Playlist For The Heart, and more.As a thank-you for being a podcast listener, enjoy 20% off your first order with code PODCAST20 (one-time use per customer).Subscribe and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
