Do Christians still need to tithe 10%? In this episode of The Stewardology Podcast, we unpack one of the most debated topics in Christian stewardship. Discover what the Bible really teaches about tithing, grace-filled generosity, and why the question may not be "Do I have to give 10%?" but rather "How is God's grace shaping my generosity?"

Financial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Pastor Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore why the smartest financial decision on paper is not always the wisest decision for your life, and how constantly optimizing for profit can sometimes come at the expense of peace, margin, and spiritual health. Through practical examples and Biblical wisdom, we discuss what it means to “solve for peace” and make financial decisions that align not only with your goals, but with your season of life, your values, and ultimately God’s Kingdom priorities.

Financial Advisor Tim Russell, Pastor Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore why avoiding conversations about money in the church may actually hinder true discipleship, and why Scripture speaks so frequently about stewardship, generosity, and the condition of our hearts. We also discuss how churches can approach financial discipleship in a healthy, Gospel-centered way without manipulation, helping believers grow in wisdom, contentment, generosity, and eternal perspective.

Financial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Rev. Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore how our deep-rooted value of independence can subtly shape, and sometimes distort, our faith, especially when it comes to money and self-sufficiency. While financial independence can be a wise and biblical pursuit, we discuss how it can quickly become an idol when it fuels pride, fear, or isolation. Ultimately, we point to a better model: not independence, but faithful, God-centered living within a community marked by humility, generosity, and responsible interdependence.

In this episode, Financial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Rev. Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford unpack what a credit score really is, and challenge the assumption that building one should be a primary financial goal. More importantly, we walk through how parents can train their children in true financial wisdom, from early money habits to navigating debt and independence in adulthood. The goal isn’t raising kids with great credit scores, but raising faithful stewards who understand the value of money and the risks of borrowing.

In this episode, Financial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Rev. Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford unpack what a “poverty mindset” is and how fear, scarcity, and past experiences can shape the way we think about money and opportunity. We explore how this mindset can form, when it may feel like protection, and why it often becomes a barrier to growth in modern life. Finally, we look at how renewing your thinking, taking responsibility, and pursuing wisdom can lead to lasting financial and personal freedom.

In this episode, Financial Advisor Tim Russell, CFP®, Rev. Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore why profit is often misunderstood and how it actually represents value created, risk taken, and needs met in the marketplace. Rather than being a sign of exploitation, profit plays a key role in driving innovation, supporting jobs, and expanding generosity. We also look at how a biblical worldview frames work, stewardship, and wealth creation.

Drew Gysi, and Tyler Rutherford explore the counterintuitive idea that lowering certain taxes can actually increase economic activity and, in some cases, even boost government revenue. It unpacks how taxes influence behavior, distort incentives, and impact everything from investment decisions to wages and prices.
