Marriages under strain
Couples who never talk about money argue about it. Secret spending and hidden debt erode trust before anyone calls you.
What SEEDS doesWeekly group conversation gets couples talking, with one shared vision and one shared plan.
SEEDS for Churches
Money stress is filling your counseling week. Give your church a plan rooted in Scripture.
A Bible money study for your small group, in English or Spanish. Eight weeks on the story of Joseph, a natural step in your discipleship pathway, led by a volunteer so it adds nothing to your workload.
30+years serving pastors
8weekly sessions
EN + ESfully bilingual
1 Timothy 6:10 ESV
“The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” It fills your counseling week.
Debt and shame
Members carry cards, medical bills and loans in silence. Shame keeps them from asking for help.
What SEEDS doesThe Breaking the Chains session removes the shame and gives every member a path out.
Giving that dries up
Generous people want to give, but nothing is left at the end of the month.
What SEEDS doesSeeds of Generosity teaches members to give first and plan the rest around it.
You already carry enough. SEEDS gives your people a place to work on money together, led by a facilitator you choose.
Who stands behind SEEDS
30 years beside pastors. Experts who have lived it.
We are Chad and Diana Deeter, authors of SEEDS. Diana is a former CFO, and together we have served pastors for more than 30 years. From Puerto Rico, we live what we teach: purpose drives every financial decision, and we lead by example.
Where SEEDS fits
A step in your discipleship pathway.
SEEDS is more than a money class. It teaches what God says about stewardship and generosity, and it gives your church a simple way to disciple people and serve your community.

Serving your community
Money stress is a need in every neighborhood. Open a group to your community and meet that need with biblical stewardship.
The study
Eight weeks from money stress to purpose.
Each week the group reads, talks and writes together, following the story of Joseph. A volunteer facilitator leads from the guide, so you stay free to shepherd.

Questions pastors ask
Before you decide.
Does my facilitator need special training?
No. The Facilitator’s Guide walks a volunteer through every session, and the Monthly Facilitator Call gives your leader a place to ask questions.
Is the app required?
No. The $649 kit works with the workbook and guide alone. The $749 kit adds three months of the app for every participant.
Our group is not twelve people. What then?
Request a proposal. Tell us the group size, the language and how many groups you plan to run, and we will send a proposal for your church.
Is this study tied to one denomination?
No. SEEDS teaches from Scripture and serves the local church of any background.
