In this episode, we crack open something most believers have never even noticed: In Genesis 2:12, God says the gold of the land was “good.”

Wait, what?

Before money was minted, before greed and shame twisted its meaning, God placed gold in Eden... and He called it good. That same word—“good”—used for trees, land, animals, and all creation. Money wasn’t cursed. It was created by God and called "good".

We dive into:

• The 8 times gold is mentioned in Genesis—and why that number matters.
• Why gold is incorruptible (literally) and what that symbolizes.
• How Abraham’s wealth wasn’t just allowed—it was celebrated.
• The surprising truth about opulence and what God really designed money for.
• Why your discomfort with money might not be holy… it might be unhealed.
