Is it your money… or God’s? In this episode of Faithfully Invested, Allen and Stacy Jo Thorne tackle the battle between ownership vs stewardship and why the belief “it’s my money” quietly fuels scarcity mindset, stress, control, and hesitation around biblical generosity.

Before we talk about tithing, budgeting, or investing, we have to settle the foundational question: Where does wealth come from? Because when we get this wrong, generosity always feels like a loss. But when we get it right, it becomes alignment with God’s will and God’s way.

✅ In this episode, we unpack:

• Why “it’s my money” is not just a mindset issue, it’s a theology issue
• How entitlement leads to anxiety (and how gratitude breaks it)
• Why scarcity is a trust issue, not a resource issue
• The illusion of control and why the Bible calls wealth “uncertain”
• What changes when you stop being an owner and start being a faithful steward

🛠️ 3 practical moves to start living like a steward:

1. Confess the lie: “Lord, I’ve been acting like the owner.”
2. Change your language: “These are resources God entrusted to me.”
3. Practice open-handed giving this week without calculating the cost.

📖 Scriptures referenced:
 Psalm 24:1 • Deuteronomy 8:17–18 • 1 Timothy 6:17 • Proverbs 3:5–10
