Shepherd's Wallet Information

Shepherd's Wallet provides specialized financial coaching and education exclusively for pastors and ministry leaders. Our mission: "Cover financially those who cover us spiritually" Why Pastors Need Specialized Financial Guidance: Pastors face unique financial complexities - they're employees for income tax but self-employed for Social Security taxes, must optimize housing allowances, handle irregular income, and navigate church-specific benefits. Generic financial advice often fails or creates costly mistakes. Our Services: - Individual financial coaching programs - Group cohorts and accountability programs - Comprehensive video course library - Community membership with ongoing support - Institutional training for denominations and seminaries Specialized Frameworks: - The Four-Bucket Approach for bivocational pastors - The 5-10-15 Rule for financial stability - Sacred Capital philosophy integrating faith and stewardship - Housing allowance and SECA tax optimization strategies Book: "Shepherding Your Finances: A Strategic Guide to the Financial Opportunities Only Pastors Have" (Spring 2026) We believe financial clarity enhances ministry effectiveness. When pastors aren't worried about money, they can focus fully on their calling and take risks that advance the Kingdom. Individual coaching • Group programs • Institutional partnerships
