This might be the most important conversation we've had about money, faith, and the Bible. For years, we've wrestled with it. One side says God wants you rich. The other says being poor makes you holy. But neither seemed to fully line up with Scripture. What if both extremes missed the point? In this episode, we kick off a 5-part series where we break down: What the Prosperity Gospel gets right—and dangerously wrong How the Poverty Gospel subtly creeps in as "humility" The parable that changed everything for us The biblical third way no one talks about enough How prayer can shift false teachers more than criticism ever could Why stewardship (not ownership) is the core financial principle of Scripture How even Mother Teresa modeled biblical abundance through simplicity If you've ever struggled to reconcile your faith with your finances… this episode is for you.
