What happens when we strip away the façade of perfection and embrace authentic faith? Heather Day, Author and Director of Marketing for the Barnabas Foundation, joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about finding purpose, peace, and financial freedom through surrender.
Growing up as a pastor's kid who always knew Jesus' love, Heather shares how her early financial struggles with her husband led to a transformative moment of surrender: "God, we've made a royal mess of things, help us." Rather than receiving an instant solution, they discovered the daily discipline of contentment and trusting God for "daily bread" rather than feasts.
Heather challenges the prosperity gospel head-on, asserting that our worth has nothing to do with our bank accounts. "If wealth equated to joy, all of Wall Street and Hollywood would be super happy right now," she observes. Instead, she's witnessed profound joy in communities with minimal material possessions but rich faith.
The conversation explores how authentic ministry happens when we break down walls between people of different backgrounds, approaching relationships with genuine care rather than a savior complex. Heather's work in underserved communities taught her that true connection happens when we recognize our shared humanity rather than focusing on differences.
Her book "Money and Spirit" stands apart from typical financial advice by addressing the heart issues behind our financial decisions. Until we confront misplaced trust and priorities, tactical knowledge alone won't free us from destructive patterns.
Throughout our discussion, Heather returns to a powerful truth: God doesn't call us to positions but to obedience. Finding your purpose isn't about discovering a perfect career path but asking daily, "What do you want me to do today, God?" This perspective liberates us from anxiety about our future and grounds us in present faithfulness.
