The first time we heard about Bitcoin, we thought it was a scam. The second time, we brushed it off as a fad. But the third time, we realized maybe God was nudging us to pay attention to something we'd been avoiding out of fear. In today's conversation, we're pulling back the curtain on what Bitcoin really is, why digital currencies are worth understanding, and how to approach them without fear or hype.

We'll talk about why major institutions and even whole countries are getting involved, and why Bitcoin is often called "digital gold." Jonathan shares his journey from being a total skeptic to realizing there was more to the story, while Melissa unpacks what it looks like to move from confusion to curiosity. Together, we'll explore how faith and finances meet when we're willing to ask better questions.

If you've ever felt unsure, skeptical, or even a little guilty about being curious about crypto, this conversation will help you find clarity and confidence. You'll walk away with a stronger understanding of how Bitcoin works, why it matters, and how to approach the future of money with wisdom and peace.
