THRIVE THOUGHT
The Best Worst Year
Financial Peace University changed our family tree forever! I love sharing the story of how my wife got a free copy of Financial Peace University (FPU), and we invited two other couples to join us at our house once a week. This was Summer 2008, which was when the Olympic Games were in Beijing. Everything would drastically change in 12 months — the housing bubble was bursting, the economy went into recession, my employer gave me a massive pay cut, and God called us to begin saving for our first adoption. By 2014, we had increased our yearly giving each year, we had saved every dollar we needed to adopt, and we traveled to China to bring our youngest daughter home with no debt!
How about you? Are you ready for 2025? Are you ready to financially face whatever this year brings? What if I offered you a chance to attend FPU for free? Starting February 20, we’re starting our next FPU class; if you attend all five weeks, we will refund everything you paid (including KidCare cost).
What if 2025 is financially the best worst year you ever have?
Join us at Financial Peace University and let’s make sure you’re ready!!
Brian and Sheri Beall have been at Pathway for 12 years. They have four kids (college freshman, 11th grade, 8th grade, & 6th grade), and they love to share how God has lead them into financial freedom and peace!
