The Freedom, The Pressure, The Stakes
You just gained freedom you've never had before—and with it, unprecedented financial responsibility. Credit card offers, student loans, spring break trips, late-night food delivery orders—the money decisions come fast, and many students don't realize how quickly small choices compound into major consequences.
But your challenges go beyond budgets. You're also flexing your wings for the first time as an adult, choosing your major, and figuring out how to balance academics, work, social life, and spiritual growth. These are the years that set trajectories: for
career paths, for financial habits, and for professional development.
Your parents equipped you well to get you to where you are. Now that you're here, coaching can help you navigate life, making smart money choices, pursuing a major that fits God's calling and marketplace realities, and building the character, discipline, and competence you'll need to flourish.

What to Expect
We'll start by exploring where you are and where you want to go—not just academically and professionally, but financially and spiritually as well. From there, we'll dig further into both the spiritual and the practical: understanding your identity in Christ independently (not just inherited faith), discerning calling versus career pragmatism, developing financial self-discipline, and mastering real-world money skills like managing student loans, building credit responsibly, creating sustainable budgets, and avoiding the debt traps that derail too many students.
Typically, coaching runs across two full semesters with weekly hour-long sessions. By the end, you won't just have financial knowledge—you'll have clarity on your major and God's calling, confidence in managing money independently, and the competence to make wise decisions throughout college and beyond.
I won't spend our time together lecturing at you. You get enough of that in your classes. Instead, I'll ask challenging questions, listen deeply, and create space for honest conversation. I'll teach Biblical and practical principles, then hold you accountable to real work between sessions—building budgets from actual spending, calculating loan scenarios, reflecting on major selection, and career direction.
