If you’ve ever opened your bank app and felt that familiar pit in your stomach—uncertain, overwhelmed, and unsure where your money has gone—you’re not alone. In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, Ralph explores the surprising peace that comes from something many of us try to avoid: creating a budget. But not just any budget, it's an intentional spending plan rooted in stewardship, purpose, and faith. As Ralph explains, this isn’t about restriction, it’s about direction—and it’s one of the simplest ways I can reduce my stress.

Ralph walks you through how to build a simple, seven-line intentional spending plan using zero-based budgeting principles. By putting every dollar to work on purpose, you’ll trade the confusion of reactive spending for the clarity of planned purpose. You’ll also hear why budgeting is an act of trust, how it can support your spiritual walk, and why it doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful. If you're ready to shift from financial chaos to confidence, this is your starting line.
