✨ Welcome to Deserts & Gardens Podcast! ✨In today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of staying planted in faith during shaky times—especially as a one-income family in today’s economy. It’s no secret that the rising cost of living, uncertain job markets, and the pressure to “have it all together” can weigh heavily on couples choosing to live on one income, especially when preparing for or growing a family 👶🏽. But we believe God is faithful, even in the midst of financial instability.We talk about what it really means to trust the Lord as your ultimate Provider and how to fight the fear that often comes with financial pressure. We also share what it looks like to support one another emotionally and spiritually in marriage while staying rooted in God’s promises.📖 Key Topics:Why choosing faith over fear matters in financially uncertain seasonsThe spiritual growth that can come from doing more with lessHow to lean on God’s provision instead of your own plansEncouragement for couples navigating life on one incomeTrusting God's pace when the world says "hustle"📖 Key Verses:Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”Psalm 37:25 – “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.”💬 Let’s continue the conversation!Are you living on one income or navigating financial shifts in your family?
