SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)

(5/5) The prosperity gospel, the poverty gospel, and the truth most Christians miss: God's Forgotten Commands for your money


Listen Later

In this final episode of our “Prosperity Gospel, Poverty Gospel, and The Gospel” series, we’re diving into the forgotten commands of scripture that every Christian should know when it comes to money.

We’re not just talking about how to make more or give more — we’re talking about how to think biblically about money, handle it with eternity in mind, and why most believers are stuck in financial cycles that don’t reflect the heart of God.

We break down 1 Timothy 6:17–19 and show how Paul gives us a framework for wealth that isn’t about prosperity or poverty — it’s about purpose.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why God wants you to enjoy what He’s given — but not worship it
  • The #1 thing Paul told the rich (and it’s not what you think)
  • How to track your “Net Given” (instead of your net worth)
  • The difference between seed and bread in 2 Corinthians 9
  • Why your money is meant to flow through you, not just to you
  • How to write a personal “Wealth Purpose Statement” with your family
  • Why generosity now is connected to eternal treasures later

🔍 This is for the Christian who’s tired of hearing two bad takes on money — and is ready to discover what the Bible actually says.
