Course Overview
Discover how to find true contentment and confidence in your finances through a biblical lens. In this course, participants will explore what Scripture teaches about money and its purpose, assess the connection between money and contentment, and build confidence in managing personal finances in a way that honors God. They will also strengthen their ability to communicate clearly about financial matters and demonstrate behaviors that reflect biblical stewardship.
Designed for group learning and individual reflection, this course offers both spiritual and practical benefits. It unites school staff around shared biblical principles of stewardship, generosity, and contentment—reinforcing how wise financial decisions can support the school’s mission. As educators grow in financial wisdom and confidence, they reduce personal stress, deepen community, and model healthy stewardship for students and families. When teachers and leaders operate from a place of financial peace and Christ-centered contentment, they not only experience personal freedom but also inspire the next generation to live with wisdom, trust, and faith.

Instructors
This course is provided by the Ron Blue Institute for Financial Wisdom. The Ron Blue Institute seeks to be a thought leader with great influence committed to changing the way Christians think, act, and communicate about financial stewardship, empowering the church, and changing the world. Founder Ron Blue created the video content for this course. Since 1979, Ron Blue has held a God-given passion to help Christians plan and manage their finances in order to maximize Kingdom giving. Michael Blue, Director of Discipleship, wrote and developed the Bible study to accompany the video content. Michael has a passion to see Christians become free in their finances so that they can follow God’s leading in their lives and can be free to emulate God’s character as givers. Their model is teaching principles and processes (how to fish), instead of prescriptions (giving them a fish). Believers can live in faith knowing that the wisdom in the Bible is always right, always relevant, and never going to change.
Note: If you plan to take this course on your own rather than as part of a group, an individual version is available through a subscription to ACSI Online PD.
