Ignoring Your Finances Is Costing You More Than Money

Money Personality: The Avoider

Some people fight to control their finances. Others hide from them.

The Avoider is the one who loves vision but avoids the numbers. They delay hard decisions. They stay vague about cash flow. They outsource too much and justify the distance with spiritual language.

“I’m just trusting God.” “Money isn’t really my thing.” “My spouse/business manager handles all that.”

But ignoring finances doesn’t equal faith. In most cases, it’s rooted in fear, shame, or past pain.

The Spiritual Root

Avoiders often carry unhealed experiences with money—either from lack, instability, failure, or embarrassment. Somewhere along the way, money became complicated or confrontational, so they disengaged. But when you disconnect from the stewardship of wealth, you disconnect from the influence you’re meant to have.

Avoidance limits your ability to:

• Hear clearly from God about financial decisions

• Multiply wealth with wisdom

• Lead your household or business in financial maturity

Kingdom stewardship requires clarity and courage. Avoidance is not spiritual; it’s expensive.

From Avoidance to Authority

Financial authority isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about being engaged. It’s about partnering with God in wisdom and owning your role in stewarding His resources.

This shift may look like:

• Scheduling a financial review this week

• Having the hard conversation you’ve delayed

• Asking the Holy Spirit to uncover the root of your avoidance

Reflect:

🟢 What financial decision or conversation have you been putting off?

🟢 Where are you excusing vagueness as trust?

🟢 What truth do you need to face so you can lead in clarity?

You’re not called to avoid money. You’re called to govern it.
