In this episode, we explore a biblical framework for stewarding God's money through four key uses: living, giving, paying taxes and managing debt, and saving for the future.
The conversation challenges the cultural pull toward lifestyle inflation and self-worship, calling listeners back to contentment, generosity, and trust in God as the true provider. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, this teaching offers practical wisdom for aligning spending, giving, and investing with a life of faithful stewardship.
