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.”
