Kevin and Alison MacLean have experienced a transformative journey with Crown Budget Coaching, guided by their coach, Brian Young. The couple credits their sessions not only for introducing practical budgeting tools but also for fostering deeper personal insights and spiritual growth.

According to Kevin, one of the most profound lessons was realizing, “everything I think I have is really God’s and that I must ask him how he wants me to steward what he’s entrusted us with.” This shift in perspective helped him recognize that every resource, including finances, is a gift that should be managed with care and intentionality.

Alison, on the other hand, discovered a parallel lesson in the realm of time management. She explained that “the overspending that I was so angry with Kevin over was actually evident in my life in a different resource, the resource of time.” This insight allowed the couple to see that financial challenges often mirror broader issues in life, prompting them to address both with equal commitment.

The coaching program equipped the MacLeans with tangible tools to manage their finances, particularly for saving for irregular expenses, emergencies, and long-term purchases. “We finally have a tool to help us save both for irregular expenses, emergencies, and long-term purchases,” they noted, emphasizing that biblical stewardship principles are both practical and sustainable.

In addition to financial tools, their Budget Coach provided the space for the couple to engage in honest, sometimes difficult conversations. The regular accountability meetings with Brian have been essential in keeping them on a consistent path of growth, contributing to their overall sense of peace. As they shared, “we feel so much more at peace being able to see the big picture more clearly.”

Through thoughtful budgeting and spiritual reflection, Kevin and Alison MacLean have made significant strides toward a healthier, more balanced life, setting them on a path toward lasting peace and stewardship.
