The Prosperous Life

| with Rev. Chris Michaels | Mondays at 11 a.m. CT

Program Overview

Many people face the challenge of understanding how to live a more abundant life. They are confused about their finances and misunderstand the guidance given by other “money-centered” television and radio programs.
The Prosperous Life takes the spiritual approach to abundant living. We begin by defining the true nature of prosperity. Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, not just having more money and things. A prosperous life has to include joy and happiness, a healthy body and a personal relationship with Spirit. Living prosperously isn’t just a monetary goal. It is a spiritual goal.
