Equip-U

TO EQUIP  FOLLOWERS FOR HIS SERVICE

Our ABF EQUIP UNIVERSITY is made up of Interactive workshops that are scheduled periodically to supplement your weekly visits to ABF during the year or sometimes even during AWANA on Tuesday nights. They EQUIP YOU by aligning with the EQUIP aspect of our ABF Mission Statement. Some of these EQUIP-U sessions are recorded for those who cannot attend. Below, in reverse chronological order, is the list of most of the Concluded Topics. Some are linked to Audio/Video.

These sessions are for anyone who is married or plans to be married. We explore a wide variety of helpful marriage-building tools. The workshops are normally held the third Sunday of every month. Recent marriage workshops included romance in marriage and "Hurry Sickness". In February 2019, the topic was “The Priority of Your Marriage”. A healthy, fruitful marriage is not only deeply satisfying, but an embassy for God’s kingdom, an outpost of sanity in a disordered world.  This doesn’t occur by accident. Building and maintaining a great marriage requires that it be a priority of mind, heart and shoe leather. Paul and Teri Reisser explored why and how to prioritize your marriage in a world teeming with competitors for your attention. In March 2019, the topic dealt with Communication in Marriage. In April 2019, the topic related to Ephesians 5, the love languages and the powerful interaction of love and respect between husband and wife. In May 2019, the topic asked: Do you have a sense of your spouse's whereabouts on his or her spiritual journey? How do you handle the differences in this area? Do you pray together? In June and July 2019, the topic asked: What exactly is intimacy? What creates it and what erodes it in a marriage? Intimacy in all of its dimensions can forge an incredibly powerful bond for a married couple. In August 2019, the topic explored the many ways that our immediate and extended families can both benefit and disrupt our marriages, along with some practical steps to deal with common issues when they arise. In September 2019, the topic was exploring the importance and practicalities of meaningful apologies and forgiveness in marriage. In October 2019, the topic was on money and how to take the drama out of family finances.

Training Your Kids How to Manage Money
For parents of kids between 10 and 20 years old. Bill's talk focused on four key principles of financial wisdom. Most kids learn little to nothing about money from their parents. Worse, they end up repeating their parents bad financial habits.
- A Visa survey found that 49% of youth think they are more likely to become millionaires by starring in a reality TV series than by learning how to budget and save wisely.
- A Consumer Reports survey found 28% of students did not know credit cards are a form of borrowing and 40% did not know that banks charge interest on loans.
- Between 1990 and 1999 there was a 51% increase in annual bankruptcy filings among adults 25 years of age and younger.
- 80% of parents believe that schools provide classes on money management and budgeting (they don't).
