Today, I’m diving into an important topic—why money alone won’t fix your financial struggles. I came across a story about a 17-year-old girl who won the lottery, only to end up regretting it. It made me think about how often we believe more money is the answer when, in reality, it can create even bigger problems if we don’t have the wisdom to manage it well. I’ll be sharing how biblical principles of stewardship play a huge role in financial success and why God often entrusts us with more only when we’ve proven faithful with what we already have. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of earning and spending without real progress, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a passage that has been misunderstood by so many Christians—Luke 18 and the story of the rich young ruler. You’ve probably heard that it’s harder for a rich person to enter heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But does that mean Christians shouldn’t have wealth? I’ll break down what Jesus was really saying in this passage, why it’s not about money itself but about where our security lies, and how both wealth and financial struggles can become idols in our lives. Plus, I’ll share a powerful passage from Proverbs 30 that’s been reshaping how I think about financial contentment. If you’ve ever wrestled with money—whether you have a lot or not enough—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really means to seek God first and trust Him with our finances. 📌 Listen in as I cover: ✔️ The true meaning of “the eye of the needle” ✔️ Why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything ✔️ How both wealth and financial stress can distract us from God ✔️ The powerful prayer from Proverbs 30:8 that has changed my perspective ✔️ What it means to trust God fully with your money NEXT STEPS: Book a Kickstart Call and let's chat over coffee about your next steps! https://tidycal.com/fab/kickstartcall
