Have you ever reached your 50s and realized that the way you've handled money for the past 20 or 30 years doesn't necessarily fit the life you want now?

In this episode of Biblical Money Tips, we’re turning to the book of Ecclesiastes to look at six money habits you may need to let go of in midlife.

This season of life can be an opportunity to rethink what you're working for, what you're spending your money on, and what truly matters.

What do you do when you feel like God is asking you to give, but money is already tight?

In this episode, I’m talking about the poor widow in Mark 12 and what her small offering can teach us about giving, trusting God, and letting go of money.

I’ll also share a time when I felt God prompting me to give when I really didn’t feel like I could afford it—and what that experience taught me about faith and generosity.

Giving isn’t about impressing God or following a formula to get something back. It’s about our heart, our willingness to trust Him, and learning not to let money control us.

I also share a simple practice I use every year to keep track of the ways God has shown up for me, because remembering His faithfulness makes it easier to trust Him with what’s in our hands today.
