The New Year Is a Spiritual Reset, Not Just a Financial One
January is when most people re-evaluate their finances, their goals, and their priorities. But for Christian families, especially those entrusted with significant influence and resources, a new year is more than a planning season — it is a moment to recalibrate your heart, your mission, and your stewardship.
At KERUX, we believe true financial planning begins not with money, but with calling.
This is why our Faith Forward Framework starts with:
Uncover God’s Calling
Steward God’s Gifts
Harvest God’s Abundance
If 2026 is going to be a year of clarity, purpose, and generational strength, it starts with aligning all three.
Below is a simple, powerful way to begin that journey — with two books that will help you define your calling, deepen your family legacy, and awaken a stewardship mindset that lasts for generations.
Step 1
Uncover God’s Calling
Living Fearless by Jamie Winship
Most Christians want to follow God’s will, but struggle to define:
- What is God actually calling me to do?
- Who am I supposed to serve?
- Where is my mission field?
- When does God want me to step out?
Living Fearless is one of the most practical and transformative books to answer those questions.
Why This Book Matters for Faith-Driven Planning
Jamie Winship teaches believers how to:
- Hear God’s voice clearly
- Understand identity before activity
- Discover their Kingdom assignment
- Replace fear with trust
- Discern what God is actually inviting them to build
For individuals, couples, and families, this book becomes a spiritual compass. For high-capacity leaders and wealth creators, it becomes a mission blueprint.
How This Fits the Faith Forward Framework
Uncovering God’s Calling must come before creating wealth plans or legacy strategies.
Your calling determines:
- Your priorities
- Your philanthropic vision
- Your investment approach
- Your business decisions
- How you lead your family
This is why every Kerux client begins with calling — not cash flows.
Step 2
Steward God’s Gifts
Legacy Life by David Green
Once calling is understood, the next step is to steward what God has placed in your hands.
Legacy Life, written by Hobby Lobby founder David Green, is one of the clearest Christian roadmaps on how to steward:
- Wealth
- Influence
- Business
- Family dynamics
- Values
- Kingdom direction
Why This Book Matters for Christian Families
David Green doesn’t just teach how to pass money to the next generation — he teaches how to pass:
- Purpose
- Convictions
- Generosity
- Biblical identity
- Eternal mindset
He helps Christian families answer essential questions:
- What legacy are we building?
- How do we keep our children grounded?
- How do we maintain unity in times of blessing?
- How do we transfer values — not entitlement?
- How do we steward businesses and assets for the Kingdom?
How This Fits the Faith Forward Framework
Stewarding God’s gifts requires clarity in wealth, investments, talents, time, family relationships, philanthropy, and business leadership.
Legacy Life provides practical tools that align perfectly with the Kerux framework — ensuring stewardship is biblical, intentional, and generational.

Step 3
Harvest God’s Abundance
Build a Plan Aligned With Calling & Legacy
Once your calling and legacy priorities are defined, the next step is to create a game plan that aligns with them.
This is where KERUX’s Christian Wealth Office becomes a strategic partner.
Harvesting God’s Abundance Means:
- Building a generosity plan
- Designing an estate plan shaped by values
- Aligning investments with Kingdom impact
- Protecting family unity
- Optimizing taxes to redirect more resources toward God’s work
- Creating financial systems that outlive you
The Biblical Foundation
Scripture teaches that the purpose of wealth is:
“God… richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” — 1 Timothy 6:17
and also:
“…so that you will be generous on every occasion.” — 2 Corinthians 9:11
In other words:
God provides abundance for His glory, our joy, and the good of others.
Harvesting God’s abundance is not hoarding, but faithfully aligning wealth with the mission He gave you.
