  • Money and the Bible: A Therapist's Perspective on Wealth with Nino Fincher | Biblical Money Ep. 11

    In a recent episode of Biblical Money, therapist Nino Fincher discussed how people’s relationship with wealth often reflects deeper psychological and spiritual issues.

Her approach focuses on helping clients—whether struggling with scarcity or excess—align their financial lives with stable foundations of values, worldview, knowledge, and practical tools.The discussion also touched on parenting, with an emphasis on teaching children to view money through a spiritual lens and think critically about media messages. Rabbi Rami Goldberg highlighted Jewish traditions that promote mindful appreciation of material blessings, like respectful bread disposal. He referenced author AJ Jacobs's exploration of gratitude through tracing supply chains.Fincher recommended books by authors like CS Lewis and Christian neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf for those seeking faith-based financial guidance.
