Timeless Principles
A Forever Improved Experience With Money
Hi, I’m Matt Bell.
I didn’t start learning how to truly manage money until I had mismanaged a lot of money.
In my mid 20s, I unintentionally reenacted the Bible’s parable of the prodigal son. The inheritance, traveling to distant countries, squandering the money, coming to my senses, returning home—the whole bit.
God graciously used that experience to lead me into a relationship with Jesus and to my life’s work.
Teaching the practical applications of biblical financial principles is one of my greatest joys.
