In this episode, we’re talking about a hot topic – inflation. Gary & Christy break down some of the details around what inflation is and how it impacts many of us. Then, they go through some ways we could mitigate the effects of inflation, including decreasing spending, increasing income, and wise investments.

Inflation has been around since the time of Solomon (1 Kings 10:21). The God who blessed his kingdom then blesses the kingdom of heaven today. Our Creator is also our Sustainer. No matter our financial situation, whether we’re struggling with higher prices or still able to make ends meet, God always sees His people through.
