Meet Tess
We’re not chasing more.
We’re protecting what matters.
Bible Money Mama helps people combat cultural drift through simple Anchors that bring more intention, presence, and follow-through into everyday life.
Hi, I’m Tess.
I’m a wife, mama of two, Certified Financial Coach, and the founder of Bible Money Mama.
I believe your life can already be good and still hold room for more depth, purpose, presence, and possibility.
My faith has taught me that God is present in every part of our lives. Not only the big decisions, but the ordinary choices that shape our thoughts, our homes, and who we are becoming.
It started with money. Then it became about more.
For more than a decade, I helped business owners grow their online presence. During those years, God began deepening my understanding of stewardship.
While pregnant with our first child and living in California, every dollar mattered. I started budgeting and discovered that knowing where our money went did not make life feel smaller. It gave us greater freedom, confidence, and choice.
That experience led me to become a Certified Financial Coach.
But eventually, I realized we steward far more than money.
We steward our attention.
Our thoughts.
Our bodies.
Our presence.
Our daily choices.
And if we are not intentional, culture will gladly decide how we use all of them.
That’s why I created the Five Anchors.
The Five Anchors are simple commitments designed to interrupt cultural drift and bring you back to what matters:
- Bible Before Phone: Anchor your attention.
- Journal: Anchor your awareness.
- Zero Dollar Day: Anchor your contentment.
- Off the Grid Hour: Anchor your presence.
- Five-Minute Stretch: Anchor your stewardship.
Each $10 Anchor Bet gives your decision a little more weight. Choose an Anchor, complete the commitment, fill out the “I did it!” form, and receive your full $10 back.
It is a simple way to turn “I want to” into “I did.”
The bigger mission
I want to help people wake up from surface living and build lives marked by faith, depth, contentment, presence, and purpose.
As a mama, this feels especially important. My children are watching what I reach for, what I prioritize, and whether I follow through on what matters.
I want to build a Set-Apart Household that seeks God before culture, protects its attention, stewards what it has been given, and chooses what lasts.
Because one intentional choice can shift the direction of a day. Repeated choices shape a life. And changed lives influence households for generations.
Your life may already be good.
Be grateful for it. Protect it. And stay awake to what else could be possible.
Don’t settle. Pick an Anchor. Keep the promise.
