THE FAMILY CAPTAIN
WEEK 6 OF 7

Finance

Captain of the storehouse. Tithe first, then everything else.

📖 Malachi 3:10 ↗

Armada Theme — Week 6 Finance centered
THIS WEEK

Money tells the truth about a man's priorities before his mouth does. This week, you put the kingdom math at the top — and force every dollar underneath it to fit. Tithe-first isn't a rule; it's a sermon you preach to yourself every payday.

The three tasks.

Each takes 20–30 minutes. Open the PDF for the print version; the full text lives here too.

WEEK 6 · TASK 1

Tithe-First Budget

Giving (10%+) is line one. Everything else is line two onward.

Budgets that put giving last find a way to never get there. Tithe-first puts the kingdom math at the top and forces the rest to fit underneath.

Action checklist
DON'T OUTSOURCE THIS
If 10% feels impossible, that's the signal — not the verdict. Talk to your wife and a brother before you talk yourself out of it.
SCRIPTURE SIT Malachi 3:10 — "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse… and thereby put me to the test, says the LORD."

WEEK 6 · TASK 2

Subscription Audit

Every recurring charge. Keep / kill / downgrade.

The slowest leak in your finances is the subscription you forgot about three years ago. Today is the day you find them.

Action checklist
SCRIPTURE SIT Proverbs 21:20 — "Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it." The subscription is the slow devour.

WEEK 6 · TASK 3

Legacy Plan Starter

Will, beneficiaries, instructions to family. AI drafts. Lawyer signs.

If you died this week your family would inherit chaos before they inherited a dollar. Today is the first 80% — what AI can draft. The last 20% is what a lawyer makes real.

Action checklist
THE UNFUNDED TRUST
A trust that exists on paper but holds no assets is a comforting lie. Get the document — then fund it.
SCRIPTURE SIT Proverbs 13:22 — "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." Inheritance is documents and follow-through, not just dollars.

This week's Captain's Drills.

90 seconds each. Optional depth track — the drill is the rep, not the workout. Sunday is Sabbath; drill off.

  2. Day 2Read Malachi 3:10. Ask Claude to push back. Defend tithing in writing.
  3. Day 3List recurring charges. AI helps decide. Kill one today. Screenshot the confirmation.
  4. Day 4Pull up your major accounts. AI generates a checklist of beneficiary fields. Confirm one today.
  5. Day 5Voice-memo: "Where is money leaking?" Whisper. AI summarizes. Plug one leak.
  6. Day 6Pick one specific person or cause. Have AI draft the giving plan. Send it before Friday.
  7. Day 7Sabbath. Drill off.
