Information Gained from Crown Financial Tools
My original financial philosophy was heavily rooted in Dave Ramsey’s principles of
money management. It effected my money management by putting an emphasis on getting rid of
debt and saving for the future. It did so by also teaching that healthy money management allows
for healthy giving and blessing others. In looking through and reading the crown strategies they
seem to closely align with Ramsey Solutions strategies. In reading Dave’s story, he even used
some of the original Crown teachings in his own life. I think Crown compliments who I am and
the things I already believed.
Application of Financial Principles
I learned that I am in a healthy place, but that there is always room to grow and learn in
these areas. I am thankful to have discovered another helpful Christian resource. I believe
combining the ideas with what I already know will help me and those I minister too. This week
was one of the best weeks of learning for me in the duration of the course.
Ministry Reflection
My church is new to a lot of these ideas, but I feel they can only be beneficial for the
church and anyone who uses them. Whether we use Ramsey or Crown I feel it will help people
and the Biblical basis behind both points people to Christ the whole time. I am thankful that the
church is open to the ideas of these things being taught, I know there will be growing pains, but
it will be an incredible season of learning and growing as a church.

Summary
Overall I think my time management in the average week is in a good place. I usually feel
well rested and feel my family is well taken care of and my work gets done in the week to week.
There are always weeks when things get a little out of line, but overall, I am pleased.
It was still very eye opening to see the week laid out in this way.

Anticipated Effects of the Changes
The greatest anticipated effect of my change is moving some more time into my morning
routine. While I felt pleased with the overall idea of my original schedule, I do feel that I can
