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.

Teach your kids a biblical approach to money
Learn how with “Trusted: Preparing Your Kids for a Lifetime of God-Honoring Money Management”

Why teach your kids about money? Because there’s so much at stake here. You see, if you don’t teach your kids about money, it isn’t that they won’t learn. They will learn, but our consumer culture will be their teacher.
There’s also so much potential here. If your kids grow up learning a biblical approach to money, it’ll deepen their relationship with Jesus, greatly benefit their future marriage, and free them to answer God’s call on their life.
“Few investments in your children can return greater lifetime and eternal rewards than teaching them to manage money God’s way. My friend Matt Bell has provided us with a helpful guide to accomplish just that.” – Chuck Bentley, CEO Crown Financial Ministries
