Who I am
Jeffrey Lucas Jr.
I’ve been a Christian money guy for over a decade helping hundreds of clients achieve their financial goals.
My personal financial goals were on track and I was quite proud of that fact, until God invited me into something different, something more dangerous, something unpredictable.
God began to not only deconstruct the kingdom I had built for myself; asking me to lay down my income, then my assets and ultimately my security, but he deconstructed my ‘Money Theology’.

All I Want for Christmas: Contentment
This morning I cradled a cup of delightfully-roasted Kenyan AA coffee. The Christmas tree lights were on. All five of my children were asleep. I was spending time in silence, meditating, praying, and thinking about the day.
It was a moment of bliss.
I have a healthy family, a peaceful moment, a warm home, and a fantastic cup of coffee. Who could want anything more than this?
The answer: me.
When to Do it Yourself
I’ve increased the DIY projects I’m willing to dive into recently.
I’ve completed more of my own vehicle maintenance, more home, and rental repairs, and attempted other things that I previously would have hired out. I’m not naturally a mechanically inclined person. Armed with Youtube and a confident spirit I’ve jumped into project after project with (mostly) positive results and a bit of saved money.
Deciding when to DIY is not simply a question of saved money. There are two popular schools of thought when it comes to DIY. They are both incomplete.
