In a world where success often equates to flashy status symbols, we're here to share a radical truth: Your worth to Jesus is not measured by accomplishments. Through His boundless love and grace you are  treasured as His child.

Life is not about chasing fame, it's about dedicating your time, talents, and treasure to serving God and others. This episode reminds us that God can use anyone, regardless of their profession or background, to advance His kingdom.

Our conversation with John Rinehart takes us deeper into a topic often neglected—money. Contrary to popular avoidance, Jesus himself spoke about money and possessions as important topics of His teachings. We explore why this conversation is relevant to everyone and how it can lead to personal growth and spiritual development.

Let's break the silence and continue to have open, honest conversations about giving, wealth, and how they relate to our faith. John reminds us it's not about seeking praise or recognition, but guarding our hearts and growing closer to God. Let's embrace the opportunities to grow spiritually through stewardship and giving. Together, we can make a difference in our lives and in the world.

And as a special thank you for being part of our podcast community, we're giving away a free copy of John's book, “The Gospel Patrons”. Simply leave a review of our podcast and email us at [email protected]⁠⁠ to receive yours.
