Dive In Deeper

A SPRINT is a Systematic Process Restoring Intentionality to our Needs and Treasure, designed for small groups to experience together. The student edition is condensed into 5 weeks.

A SPRINT is meant to guide you through the overarching biblical themes related to wealth and money, while allowing you to explore the restored freedom and purpose that comes with choosing a financial finish line.

The program is completely self-led, no prior training or experience necessary. All you need is a group to get started. If you don’t already have a small group, gather some friends and host a SPRINT yourself! We provide everything you need to get started for free, it’s easy.

While the content is most engaging in a small group format, feel free to work through it with a spouse or friend on your own as well.

A

Weekly Sessions: SPRINTs are broken into 5 weekly sessions, each 60-90 minutes long.

A

Highly Interactive: Each week’s material includes a variety of exercises, games, scenarios, and calculators to explore the concepts.

A

Small Group Atmosphere: These topics are best explored in the context of relationships, and the content is designed for groups of 4-8 people. 

A

Personal Application: As part of the process, you’ll build a fully formed and personalized plan of action that touches just about every aspect of their financial life. Don’t worry, you never have to share your own income, giving, or other personal information.

Our Pledge to You

100% Free Forever

The Finish Line team has made a commitment to never charge for any of our materials. Anything we produce is completely free for use in your church, small group, or ministry, and always will be. Sharing is encouraged!

100% Self-Funded

There is also no way to donate to the Finish Line team. The SPRINT program and the Finish Line Pledge exist to move the Church into new freedom and purpose in how we use our wealth. And we never want requests for donations to confuse our message.

Want to Get Started?

If you’re ready to dive in, but don’t have a group yet, consider hosting one yourself. Invite 4-8 others to join you as you explore the idea of a finish line. 

Most hosts have not been through a SPRINT before, and we will make sure you have all the help you need. All you need is a group and a place (or a zoom link!).

When you have your group together, register below for some further guidance before you get started. One of our team members will be in touch to answer any questions along the way.

Remember, everything is absolutely free.
