This episode hit me hard. We cracked open 2 Kings 4 —the story of the widow, her debt, and the jars of oil—and I realized it's not just about a miracle… it's about God's system for provision . Most of us pray for breakthrough but miss the order: 👉 Ask 👉 Obey 👉 Sell (work the miracle) 👉 Pay debt 👉 Then live on the overflow The widow didn't just receive money from heaven. She started what might be the first side hustle in the Bible . And her story shows us exactly why so many of us feel like God's provision "isn't working." Here's what we unpack in this conversation: The hidden business model inside the miracle of the oil jars Why saying "I have nothing" blinds you to God's multiplication The danger of skipping God's order for provision How our own story of business + debt mirrors the widow's The mindset shift that turns small resources into abundance If you've ever wondered why God seems to bless others but not you, this episode may flip everything you believe about money and miracles upside down.
