More from Scott

There are many finance books already available, so why another one? What makes mine different? Is there any reason you should trust what I have to say? Most importantly, I’m not asking you to trust me but God. Your Finances God’s Way is not a collection of my opinions about money, but God’s words revealed in Scripture. I do my best to unpack the Bible’s critical money-related verses. God is the One “who gives you power to get wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:18), and He “makes poor and makes rich” (1 Samuel 2:7). That means God knows what you should and shouldn’t do with your finances, and He has provided you with the needed instructions in His Word. I present these instructions in a clear, engaging, and biblical manner. I’ve taught extensively on money to the church I serve. The most common type of counseling I give is for marriages, with many sessions revolving around finances. The time I’ve spent with people in counseling—couples and individuals—has made me familiar with the most common problems in marriage, many of which relate to finances. I have seen people struggle, and the time I’ve spent studying the Bible has equipped me to help them find solutions. I’ve been blessed to watch the truths of God’s Word resolve their problems, restore their relationships, and strengthen their financial situations. Your Finances God’s Way is the culmination of hundreds of hours of Bible study and counseling. I wrote this book because I am passionate about this area of Scripture and life. As a pastor and counselor, I have witnessed the blessings of obeying God and the negative consequences of disobedience. I have experienced these blessings and consequences firsthand as a husband and father. As of 2024, our oldest child of ten, Rhea Grace, is 17. Perhaps God will bless us with more. We have always been a single-income family. I was a schoolteacher when Katie and I married; then, I became a full-time youth pastor. In 2010, I moved from that role to become the senior pastor at Woodland Christian Church in Woodland, Washington. We have never lived off anything more than modest salaries, but God still enabled us to pay off all our debt, including our mortgage. In some months, we put a few hundred dollars toward debt; in others, we allocated a few thousand. When Katie inherited $10,000, we didn’t think twice before putting it toward the mortgage, and every tax return went toward the mortgage—the year I worked part-time as a youth pastor and full-time as an elementary schoolteacher provided the most money we ever made. More than half of each paycheck went toward the mortgage. I share my story for three reasons. First, I want to give you confidence in the biblical principles presented in this book. Second, I don’t want you to wonder, Has Scott “walked the talk,” or is he a hypocrite? When discussing debt, I want you to know we have none. When I talk about paying off a mortgage, I want you to know that’s what we’ve done. Third, I don’t want you to think, That’s easy for you to say, Scott; you’ve probably made more than I make. Whether you make much money or a little, you’re in the prime of your career or just starting, or you already have a family or are looking to start one, these principles work because they’re rooted in God’s Word.

Interview with the Author

Why do you think this topic is needed?

This topic is needed because there is so much misinformation about finances. Many people’s financial decisions are governed more by their flesh than by God’s Word.

What is your favorite hymn and why?

My favorite hymn is “How Firm a Foundation.” Every verse contains powerful words about the Lord’s grace to help us through difficulties and trials. And it sure doesn’t hurt that it sounds so beautiful!

What is your favorite verse and why?

Early in my Christian life, someone directed me to 1 Samuel 2:30, which has become my favorite verse. God says, “Those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” I strive to keep this verse in mind when making decisions.

Do you have a favorite Puritan? If so, who and why would you choose them?

Jonathan Edwards is my favorite Puritan. Although I greatly respect many Puritans, I chose him because I have quoted him more than any others. Also, he had 11 children and we are expecting our 11^th child!

Outside of the Bible, what is the one book or author that has had the biggest influence on you?

John MacArthur is my favorite author. He has had the greatest influence on me. I rely on his commentary more than any others and have been blessed by his books.
