You know that verse in Proverbs that says “the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous”?

Yeah… we need to talk about that.

For years, I heard people quoting it like a divine scratch-off ticket. Sit back, wait long enough, and eventually, poof - someone else’s riches end up in your account. But what if that’s not what the Bible is saying at all?

💡 In this quick but powerful episode, we break down:

• What Proverbs 13:22 actually means (and why most people are getting it totally wrong)
• Why this isn't about spiritual favoritism, but financial behavior
• How meekness plays a hidden role in wealth-building 
• The overlooked principle that made people thrive during the Great Depression
• Why debt is the opposite of biblical wisdom — and how to position yourself for peace, not panic

This isn't about sitting around waiting for God to drop blessings from the sky. It’s about living like Joseph in Egypt — wise, prepared, generous, and positioned for impact when the world starts shaking.

We’re not waiting for a miracle. We’re becoming one.
