Instructions

  2. Write down your answers, thoughts, and other revelatory ideas in your journal that God reveals during a time of prayerful reflection.
Tip

For reflective journaling activities such as this one, find a quiet place in which you will not be disturbed by other people, noises, or other distractions. Silence electronic devices and quiet your mind by reading Bible passages or praying before attempting the activity.

  • What was the most helpful thing you learned from Lesson 3 — Compass Money Map? How will you apply this?
  • Who really owns your money and possessions? How should this perspective impact your thinking?
  • Read Proverbs 22:7 (“. . . the borrower is slave to the lender”). How does the Bible view debt? What is your view of debt and how do you feel about your debt situation?
  • If you are in debt, what steps will you take as a couple to become debt free?
  • Take several minutes to examine the Compass Money Map. Check off the items you have already completed. What did you learn by checking them off?

Snowball Debt Elimination Calculator

The Snowball Debt Elimination Calculator applies a simple principle to paying off your debt. When a balance paid off, add its monthly payment to your next debt’s payment. This continues until you have snowballed through all of your balances and your debt is paid in full. The calculator can also apply an additional monthly amount to accelerate the debt pay-off.
