Overview:
In Episode 21, Greg Carroll unpacks Proverbs 21 and asks a heart-level question: Why are you pursuing financial growth? This episode challenges listeners to examine their motives, slow down their hustle, open their ears to the needs of others, and submit their plans to God's purpose. At the core of biblical stewardship is not performance—but posture.
What You’ll Learn:
Why God cares more about motives than money
How hasty decisions undermine long-term abundance
What generosity reveals about your relationship with money and grace
Why real success comes not from control but surrender
Take Action:
Reflect: Are you pursuing wealth from a place of peace—or fear and pride?
Ask: Is generosity something you model—or something you avoid?
Recalibrate: Surrender your outcomes to God and focus on obedience, not optics
Pray:
“Lord, weigh my heart. Purify my motives. Teach me to walk in quiet obedience—and trust You for the victory.”
