In this episode, we take an honest look at debt—why it feels heavy, how it shapes our decisions, and what God desires for us in the middle of it. Debt reaches far beyond numbers on a page; it affects our peace, relationships, and sense of freedom.
This week Matt will be helping us understand debt as a choice with real consequences but not a hopeless condition. Together, Miranda and Matt will explore common patterns like avoidance, anxiety, and isolation, and point to the truth that God calls us toward freedom, wisdom, and healthy stewardship. Whether you're dealing with debt or trying to avoid it, this conversation offers grace, practical insight, and hope.
