28- When Money Becomes An Idol


Listen Later

As entrepreneurs, it’s so easy to say our hope is in God while we're actually clinging to the next project or client. 

In this episode, I share how our early years of being completely broke planted a deep scarcity mindset in me. For years I told myself, “When we’re finally stable, then I’ll be generous,” and that moment never seemed to come. God has been using this last uncertain year to completely rework how I see money, provision, and what it means to live open-handed right now, not “someday.”

Episode Highlights

  • How early financial struggle planted a “never enough” mindset. 
  • Why “I’ll be generous when…” kept me stuck. 
  • What the widows in 1 Kings 17 and Mark 12 teach about giving from lack. 
  • Trusting God as Provider vs. trusting your business model or lead-gen system.
  • How God has used one of my most financially uncertain seasons to change my heart
  • Choosing to become an open vessel God can pour through
