In this episode of Collars & Calluses, Bill and Rich begin a Proverbs-based discussion on wealth for young men, rejecting both the prosperity gospel (wealth equals godliness) and a “poverty gospel” (poverty equals godliness) in favor of a biblical call to productivity, fruitfulness, and dominion. They argue wealth is good yet dangerous and powerful, and should be pursued lawfully, enjoyed with gratitude, and used generously for building families, churches, institutions, and civilization. They broaden “wealth” beyond money to include children, peace, wisdom, and eternal riches, and explain that wealth comes from wise labor applied to God’s creation. They stress honoring the Lord with possessions through tithing as an abiding baseline rooted before Moses, discuss practical questions about tithing, and emphasize giving as worship rather than “paying God off.”
