What This Booklet Is

Breaking Mammon’s Chains is a Scripture-anchored, street-smart field guide to name financial bondage (debt), heart-level bondage (greed), and culture-level bondage (corruption)—and to walk out with a clear, Christ-centered plan for freedom, integrity, and generosity.

Who It’s For

Individuals & families stuck in debt cycles or money stress
Leaders & churches building transparent, benevolent, anti-corruption cultures
New believers & seekers wanting a biblical money rule-of-life

What You’ll Learn (At a Glance)

Clear definitions: Debt (servitude to lenders), greed (idolatry of more), corruption (abusing power for gain).
Why it happens: biology (stress, fatigue), mind lies (“never enough”), story lines (family & culture), and spirit of Mammon competing with Christ.
The unseen battle: temptation → accusation → bondage—and how renunciation + repentance + replacement break the loop.
System realities: credit traps, predatory products, normalized grift—and how believers practice justice and transparency.
Church & money: what helps (benevolence, literacy, accountability) vs. what harms (shame-driven giving, prosperity manipulation).

The Plan (Multi-Pronged & Doable)

30/90-Day Roadmap Out of Bondage
- Days 1–7 (Honesty & Safety): Full debt list, confess & tell one trusted ally.
- Days 8–30 (Repent & Restructure): Zero-based budget, cut leaks, starter emergency fund, stop dishonest practices.
- Days 31–90 (Reconstruct): Snowball/avalanche payoff, negotiate/seek counsel if needed, begin consistent generosity to retrain the heart.
Daily Rule of Life (Stewardship)
- AM: Lord’s Prayer (“daily bread”), plan 3 priorities.
- Midday: 60-second budget check; name/replace a greed trigger.
- PM: Gratitude for non-financial blessings; weekly no-buy Sabbath.
Five Circles of Support: Jesus/Scripture/Prayer • financial coach/mentor • pastoral covering • accountability partner/group • family/church community
Skills for Triggers & Warfare: 24-hour rule on purchases > $50; cash envelopes; Scripture swaps; verbal renunciation of Mammon; cheerful giving.

Family & Church: Help Without Harm

Do: celebrate small wins, teach budgeting, maintain transparent finances, tell provision testimonies. Don’t: shame past mistakes, enable overspending, or manipulate giving.

Guardrails for the Long Run

Relapse signals: hidden buys, “little” compromises, comparison spirals. Rescue: confess quickly → revisit budget → call your partner → reset in Word & prayer.

Freedom That Endures

Debt-light, truth-filled living unleashes: generosity to the poor and gospel work, integrity that earns trust, and contentment that silences “more, more, more.”

What’s Inside (Tools & Appendices)

Quick Start (If Safe to Do So)
