This is a big part of the problem, imo. Many people look directly to the church for guidance on things that could be easily solved looking elsewhere for advice. People that rely solely on the quarterly fireside or 5th Sunday lesson on finances would likely make much better use of their time by meeting with a credit counselor or financial advisor.
