Conformity can be a good thing, especially when it involves positive peer pressure or keeping things organized. However, not all conformity is good. In fact, the Bible challenges us not to be conformed to this world (Romans 12:2). In this episode, we talk about conformity in our personal finances. This could happen when we spend how everyone else is, borrow how most people do, buy what most people get, or use our money the way most people do. As Christians, do we challenge ourselves to be intentional in our stewardship of God’s material blessings, or do we blindly follow the decisions of someone else?
