Does your relationship to money
reflect your deepest values?

As one of the most powerful symbols in our culture, money has inspired many conflicting and evocative terms: filthy rich, the almighty dollar, the haves and have-nots, poverty consciousness, prosperity, abundance, and streets paved with gold. How do these attitudes shape the way that we earn, spend, and worry about money? Is there a correlation between our spiritual self and the money we have, both at home and in the workplace? If so, what is it?

Join Joel Solomon of Renewal2 and Renewal Partners as he reflects on how we can use our relationship to money to create a living map of our deepest values. From the world of investment and funding, he will share some of his memorable experiences when the use of money became an expression of belief, faith, and social action.
