The Collyde Summit is a gathering of passionate believers in the NY, NJ, and PA area, who love Jesus and are convicted to become world changers.

So for pretty much the 30+ years my beloved and I have been married, we have been “working” on our finances. Initially, it was just a matter of trying to be responsible with our money and not get in over our heads with debt. Truth be told, our success was short term.

Exodus 33:14 says "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Have you ever felt like stress was choking the life right out of you? As if you might implode if you have to face one more stressful situation?I know how that feels, because I’ve been there.
