Chuck Bentley, the CEO of Crown Financial Ministries — a Christian nonprofit that has reached over 100 countries with truths about God, money and stewardship — is the first to admit that as a younger man, he didn’t fully understand biblical principles surrounding finances. 

Crown Financial Ministries was founded in 1976 by the late Larry Burkett with a mission “to spread the principles and practices of God’s economy throughout the world and to transform people and society through the principles and practices of God’s economy.”

Before taking on his lead role running the finance ministry about two decades ago, Bentley said he had to learn the basic foundations of what the Bible says about finances from the ministry. 

In an interview with The Christian Post, Bentley shared how 1999, he was personally impacted by the ministry after his wife encouraged him to join a Crown Bible study hosted at his church.
