Ever feel like your budget just won’t stick—no matter how solid it looks on paper? You’re not alone! In this special refreshed replay of one of our most popular episodes, we’re taking a fresh look at why so many budgets fall apart—and how we can align our finances with our faith to create a plan that truly sticks.
Together, we explore three simple, faith-centered steps to help us refresh our mindset, clear out distractions, and take small, intentional actions that honor God and bring lasting traction to our finances.
In this episode, John discusses:
The importance of aligning budgeting practices with faith and valuesCommon challenges that make sticking to a budget difficultHow mindset shifts can improve long-term budget consistencyPractical steps for removing distractions and staying financially focusedAchieving budgeting success requires a fundamental shift in mindset, viewing budgeting as a faith-driven journey rather than just a numbers game, focusing on aligning financial decisions with core personal values, spiritual goals, and life purpose.Consistently reviewing and refreshing your budget allows it to stay relevant to your current financial needs and spiritual objectives, ensuring it remains a true reflection of both where you are now and where you aim to go, all while staying connected to your faith.Identifying and eliminating small “financial idols”—like impulsive purchases, unused subscriptions, or habitual overspending—helps you clear distractions that can derail your budget, ultimately creating more space for intentional, values-based financial choices.Building a sustainable budget means starting with small, manageable spending adjustments that gradually strengthen your budgeting consistency, empowering you to experience financial peace while also helping you avoid burnout or frustration along the way.“When you align your budget with your faith, you're placing your treasure, your heart, and your mind in God's hands, bringing more peace and purpose into your budgeting process.”
