Clearly with Jimmy & Kelly Needham

Why Saving Money Might Be Holding You Back Spiritually


Listen Later

🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.)

We’re diving into a topic that’s as personal as it is powerful—money. Why is it so hard to talk about? Why does the Bible have so much to say about it? And how do we faithfully navigate money in a culture that defines success by independence and accumulation?

We’ve wrestled with these questions ourselves—from seasons of barely scraping by (shoutout to our musician years 🙃) to moments of unexpected generosity that showed us God’s faithfulness in profound ways. We’re not financial experts, but we’ve lived this stuff. And we’re passionate about talking through what scripture really says—about stewardship, retirement, savings, generosity, and what it means to live in light of eternity.

You’ll hear personal stories (yes, including the Panera Bread miracle), biblical truth, and maybe a few spicy takes. Our hope is that this conversation encourages you to trust God more deeply with your resources, whether you’re in a season of lack or abundance.

💡 We talk about:

  • Why money isn’t evil—but our hearts can twist it

  • How Jesus flips the cultural narrative around wealth

  • What we’ve learned (and unlearned) about retirement

  • How to give when you don’t have extra

  • Why being part of a generous church family matters

📚 Books we mention:

  • George MĂźller’s Autobiography (Free PDF)

  • Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn — Buy on Amazon

  • The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn — Buy on Amazon

🔗 Mentioned in this episode:

  • TeachEquip — A biblical resource hub for teaching and equipping the church

👛 Don’t wait until you have “extra” to start living generously. The safest place for whatever you have—big or small—is with the Lord.
