  • 122: Biblical stewardship and generosity in midlife: The lesson of the poor widow

    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.

      5. 115: Need money fast? How to avoid get-rich-quick schemes when you're desperate

        We all wish there was an easier way to get ahead financially. But Proverbs 13:11 reminds us that lasting wealth usually isn't built overnight—it's built little by little.

          5. 114: Credit Cards - Smart money tool or financial trap?

            Credit cards aren't evil—but they aren't your financial savior either.

            In this episode, we'll talk about the benefits and dangers of credit cards, why debt often feels like a solution when it's really a delay, and practical rules for using credit cards wisely without letting them control your finances.

            5. 113: Are your financial decisions made from wisdom or fear? Here's how to tell.

              Wisdom doesn't step into the street with an oncoming bus.


              Fear never crosses because it's afraid of getting hit by a bus.

              In this episode, we're looking at how fear often wears a wisdom costume that keeps us stuck financially.

              I'll give you today's scripture and a few questions to ask yourself in order to figure out if you are walking in wisdom or fear.
