In this episode, Bob and Linda unpack spiritual habits found in Scripture that quietly shape financial outcomes—habits that have nothing to do with spreadsheets or hustle culture, but everything to do with becoming the kind of person money can be trusted with. These aren't the usual "Christian money tips." They're deeper. And once you see them, you can't unsee them. 🔑 What You'll Learn in This Episode Bob and Linda walk through 7 overlooked spiritual disciplines that directly affect how we earn, spend, save, and steward money:

• Why fasting trains your "no muscle"—and why self-control matters more than budgeting
• How integrity in the small things (the ones no one sees) protects your finances long-term
• The quiet power of choosing the right friends—and how the wrong voices shape your future
• Why wasting time eventually leads to wasting money (Ephesians 5:16)
• How rest, not grinding, invites God's provision (and why Chick-fil-A is a case study)
• Why gratitude shifts you from scarcity to abundance (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
• The biblical formula for prosperity and success most people skip (Joshua 1:8)

Along the way, they share personal stories—from fasting and spending fasts, to integrity decisions that cost them in the moment but paid off long-term—and explain why God's math often looks different than ours. 📖 Scriptures Referenced (NLT)
