In this opening episode of a brand-new series, Ralph tackles a topic that weighs heavy on so many hearts: financial anxiety and the silent battles we fight behind closed doors. Whether you're lying awake at night worrying about bills, overwhelmed by unexpected expenses, or feeling pressure to maintain appearances, you’re not alone—and you’re not without hope. Ralph unpacks the truth behind that lonely question many have asked in the dark: “Am I the only one losing sleep over this?” As he reminds us, God never intended for us to carry our burdens alone, especially the stress of money.
