Joining us by phone today is Crown CEO, Chuck Bentley. He will discuss New Year’s Resolutions, Debt Free Living and Tax Advice.
Following in the footsteps of Crown’s cofounders, Howard Dayton and the late Larry Burkett, Chuck has assumed the mantle of a strategic organization, founded in 1976, that now reaches around the world with staff on every continent, a media presence throughout North and South America, and books and materials serving the spiritual and financial needs of all people, regardless of their economic condition. Crown’s outreach impacts individuals, families, churches, and businesses through the joyful, liberating biblical truth of making and managing money so that God’s purposes for one’s life can be fulfilled.
Chuck is the executive producer of the God Provides™ Film Learning Experience, Crown’s first series of short films designed to convey God’s principles of provision and sustainability through dramatic Bible stories seldom captured in visual media. He is also the co-creator of the Crown Money Map™ and a contributor to Saddleback Church’s small group series, Managing Our Finances God’s Way. These powerful resources are being used to transform lives around the world. In July 2011, Chuck’s first book Root of Riches was released.
Chuck was born July 2, 1957 in Wichita Falls, Texas. He enjoys reading, the outdoors and his family. He and his wife, Ann, have been married since 1978. Both are graduates of Baylor University, where Chuck earned a B.A. in Business Administration, served as Student Body President, and received both Outstanding Sophomore Man and Outstanding Senior Man awards. He is frequently a guest speaker addressing both churches and business leaders on biblical financial topics. Chuck and Ann live near Atlanta, Georgia and have four sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.
Never give false information or numbers you cannot support with documentation. Thou Shalt Not Lie is good tax advice. And God’s principles for good conduct can keep you out of jail! Story of the IRS receiving an anonymous cash contribution for $1000 with a note, “Here’s a thousand dollars I owe you, If I still can’t sleep at night…I’ll send you the rest.” Honesty allows us to file without fear. If taxes and public speaking are the two biggest fears we have, you can eliminate the fear of the IRS by being honest.
