We might have heard the phrase "live below your means". But how do we do that? Why do we do that? There are Four main elements to living below your means. 
1. Actively Budget
2. Eliminate Debt
3. Prepare for the unexpected
4. Save for the future
But, why do we do this? It eliminates money stress and puts us in a place to experience the Lord's blessing and enables us to respond to what he is calling us to.

Why should we pray? How does praying have anything to do with finances? I explain why I pray before each podcast episode. I also remind us that we are called to be in constant pursuit of holiness and the Lord's will for our lives. I give some examples of how we can invite the Lord into life's moments, particularly those that are not spiritual, like our work and our finances.
