Episode 12 – Discipline Over Desire

Key Verses:

  • Proverbs 12:11 – “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.”

  • Proverbs 12:15 – “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”

  • Proverbs 12:24 – “The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.”

    Overview:

    In Episode 12, Greg Carroll delivers a challenge straight from Proverbs 12: build a financial life rooted in discipline—not desire. The message is simple but sharp: stop chasing shortcuts, start cultivating what’s in front of you, and embrace wise counsel. This episode is a powerful call to ditch the fantasy of overnight success and lean into the long game of financial peace.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why chasing “worthless pursuits” leads to frustration instead of fruit

    • How teachability accelerates financial growth

    • The connection between diligence, margin, and peace

    • What it means to “work your land” in your current season

    • Why humble consistency outpaces flashy strategy every time

      Take Action:

      • Identify your “land”—your current responsibilities, income, and opportunities

      • Ask yourself: Am I teachable, or trying to do it all my own way?

      • Pinpoint one area this week where diligence needs to replace desire

        Pray:

        “Lord, help me stay faithful in the work You’ve given me. Help me choose diligence, wisdom, and humility over shortcuts and pride.”
