I believe the answer is:

resources

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'money' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'reservation about bad church' is the wordplay.
'reservation' becomes 'res' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'bad church' becomes 'source' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'res' going around 'source' is 'RESOURCES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resources that I've seen before include "provides money for" , "Useful materials, assets" , "capital!" , "Personal attributes" , "Teaching materials" .)
