Christians Are Getting THIS Wrong About Giving (and why it's hurting us more than we realize)
Jesus said, "Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." But does that really mean Christians should never talk about giving? In this episode, Bob and Linda tackle one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible—and why misreading it has quietly hurt generosity, discipleship, and spiritual growth in the church. Sparked by a viral clip referencing Matthew 6, they walk through what Jesus was actually addressing (motive, not visibility), why public generosity shows up all over Scripture, and how sharing testimonies—when done with the right heart—can inspire radical obedience in others. This isn't about bra...

Faith isn't what you think it is (Bible Study)
Most of us were taught that faith means "trying really hard to believe" — especially with our finances. But in the Bible-study-style episode, Bob & Linda unpack Hebrews 11, Romans 10:17, and Jesus' "abide" teaching to reveal a surprising truth: 👉 Biblical faith isn't mustered. It's received. And once you see that, anxiety shrinks, striving stops, and finances shift. Join Bob & Linda as they walk through their own misconceptions about faith, why effort-based Christianity wears us out, and how to let God grow real, evidence-bearing faith in your financial life. This one is equal parts devotional, Bible study, and s...

Should Christians Give When Their Spouse Disagrees? (what to do when your spouse says 'no')
Today, Bob & Linda open up about one of the hardest seasons of their marriage — a months-long battle over a life-altering decision that left them in tears, confusion, and deep disunity. What they learned in that painful stretch has become the backbone of how they help couples navigate money disagreements today… especially when one spouse feels called by God to give and the other isn't on board. If you've ever wrestled with:"What do I do when I feel God nudging me to give — but my spouse isn't there?"…this episode will minister to you deeply. Toget...

The Hidden Costs of Entrepreneurship No One Talks About
Everyone online makes entrepreneurship look like the ultimate path to freedom—but the truth is far more complicated.

Why you can't actually "get rich quick" (with Mark Batterson)
Pastor and bestselling author Mark Batterson joins Bob to unpack one of the most misunderstood principles of growth: the way breakthroughs actually happen—gradually, then suddenly.

What EVERY Christian Parent Wishes They Could Do One More Time
In this tender, emotional episode, Bob and Linda open up about a simple idea that completely reframed how they parent: the "$50,000 Moment." It started with a story Bob read — one so moving he couldn't finish it without crying — about a dad who imagined paying $50,000 to relive a single bedtime with his 10-year-old. That thought experiment changed him, and now it's changing the Lotich household too. If you're a parent (or even if you aren't), this episode will recalibrate how you see the people in your life and remind you of the beauty tucked into ordinary days...

The #1 Mistake Christians Make When it Comes to Giving
What if the greatest danger in our giving isn't how much we give—but why we give? In this episode, Bob and Linda unpack one of the most shocking stories in Acts 5: the tale of Ananias and Sapphira. Why did God respond so severely—and what does it reveal about our own struggles with wealth, legacy, and generosity? Together, we wrestle with the tension between leaving an inheritance (Proverbs 13:22) and practicing radical generosity (Acts 4, Matthew 6:33). You'll hear how this tension has played out in our own finances, and we'll share a 4-part framework to h...

The #1 thing destroying wealthy/successful Christians (w/ John Bevere)
Pride is sneaky. It hides behind our success. It masks itself as "spiritual maturity." It even whispers, "Look at how humble you are."
