In this episode, we step into the tension of financial storms and reflect on how fear quietly shapes our decisions in times of uncertainty.
We revisit a real storm and story on the Sea of Galilee to draw timeless truths about trust, stewardship, and peace. As we consider unhealthy and healthy fear, we’re reminded that calm doesn’t depend on the storm ending—it depends on knowing who's already in the boat with us.
This conversation lays the groundwork for what’s still to come as we continue navigating faith and finances under pressure.
In this episode, John discusses:
How fear influences our financial decisions during uncertain timesWhat a biblical storm and story can teach us about our current realityDistinguishing between types of fear in the face of financial pressureInviting spiritual perspective into money choicesWhen we allow unhealthy fear to take over, it hijacks our ability to make wise decisions and pushes us toward reactive, emotionally driven financial choices that often don’t serve us well.Healthy fear, in contrast, can sharpen our vision and help us stay grounded, encouraging intentionality, faithful stewardship, and renewed focus on what truly matters.Even when our circumstances feel overwhelming and the waves are crashing, we can experience calm by remembering that Jesus hasn’t left—we just need to let Him in.His kind of peace doesn't require perfect conditions; it requires awareness of His presence and the courage to trust His guidance even when our financial future looks uncertain.“I know the storm can feel difficult. I know it can feel tumultuous, but you don't need the storm to stop for Jesus to bring peace to you. You just need to know where He is—and He's in your boat.”
