Faith & Finance with Rob West
What if the greatest gift you leave your children isn’t your money, but your wisdom? As stewards, we often focus on managing God’s resources well during our lifetime—but what happens after we’re gone? How do we equip the next generation to carry on a legacy of faithful stewardship? Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about that. Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi’s parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.

God created us to work, and part of stewardship is discovering how He’s uniquely wired us.
Each child’s journey is unique, and our role as parents is to walk alongside them, offer opportunities, and pray that God will reveal their strengths.

Every parent knows how painful it is to watch their children make poor choices—especially when it comes to money. But it’s so vital that we allow our kids to experience the natural consequences of their decisions.
Wisdom grows when kids practice responsibility with real resources. That’s why it’s a good goal to aim for our children to manage a full spending plan before leaving home, whether that’s for college or to move out on their own.
Starting with a simple envelope system—give, save, and spend—you can gradually add more categories as the kids grow. By the time they become young adults, they will have managed nearly all of their expenses except housing and insurance. This hands-on approach will ensure that by the time they launch into independence, they will not be starting from scratch.
If you feel behind in teaching your kids about stewardship, give yourself grace. None of us does this perfectly.
Start with small steps—a dinner conversation about your own money journey, or letting your child help plan a family purchase. What matters is being intentional and inviting the Lord to guide the process.
Preparing the next steward is not a one-time event—it’s a journey. Begin with prayer, asking God for wisdom, and do not hesitate to seek help from trusted friends, mentors, or financial professionals.
And remember: more is caught than taught. Our children are learning as much from how we live as from what we say. By modeling faithful stewardship in our own lives, we give them the greatest inheritance of all: a life that reflects God’s wisdom and trust in His provision.
