More Than Enough

How do we take ownership of our story and rejoice in what we have when shame becomes attached to our identity and tells us to hide? On episode #380 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, psychotherapist Amanda van Noppen addresses the limiting behavior that comes out of shame and how your brain’s response to shame impacts your financial story. Tune in and listen as Amanda coaches Dave and Reb through tools to identify and prevent shame from controlling and influencing their behavior. 

“Shame says hide me away, keep me quiet, make me small,” reflects Amanda. “Shame becomes an identity and then we feel like we have to hide our mistakes.”

Dave and Reb catch up with listeners as they spend time in Isaiah 40 and create a space to receive encouragement from God. Episode #375 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb” reminds listeners that the flow and current of money, as with water currents, requires readjusting and readapting to the specific circumstances that people are dealing with. Finding the right tool to contain and manage provision is an important step in becoming financially responsible.

While money and numbers may be black and white, the story behind the money is often a lot more complicated than it looks at first glance. In episode #374 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, Dave and Reb look at the story money tells us and the disillusionment that comes when you really look at what your money is saying. Does the story we tell ourselves align with the reality of our financial situation?

“We get to an intersection in life and all of a sudden the path diverges in life. You go through the disillusion, grieving stage and then wonder, what narrative have I been believing? What is the story that God wants to write in my life and my financial journey? If you cling to the old idea, you can never move forward.” – Reb

What do nurture and obedience have in common, and what do they have to do with money? On episode # 371 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, Rev. Ray Borg shares a story of persevering obedience when a journey of financial giving turned into more than he expected. Following God’s directive became a marker point that led Him to grow in financial awareness and the need to nurture God’s word as a seed in His life.

“I realized through the process that I did hear from the Lord, and I needed to be obedient even if the outcome wasn’t clear,” Ray says. “Creating space to nurture God’s word in my heart and emotions is very important so that His word settles in. It is then I can take it to heart and be obedient.”
