Episode 179 - How To Use Extra Money With Faith And Wisdom
Manage episode 516332160 series 3654030
A simple truth can reset how we handle money: the more we clutch, the less secure we feel. We open with big news—Mark Halpern joins us Friday—then dive into a timely, practical conversation about trust, extra income, and the delicate balance between saving, spending, and sharing. If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll give “when the big money comes,” you’ll hear why generosity gets harder as accounts grow and how to train that muscle now, when the amounts are small and the impact is real.
We walk through a clear framework for using surplus: take care of your needs and your family first, then widen the circle to friends, community, city, and world. Along the way, we explore how trust in God reframes the fear of the future, easing the endless chase for “more.” Nature becomes our teacher: fallen leaves feed the soil that feeds the tree; water rises, rains, and renews; herds graze and the grass returns. Money works the same way when it flows with intention. Hoarding breaks the system. Balanced giving keeps it alive.
You’ll learn why anxiety thrives on “what if,” how to set simple guardrails for giving and saving, and how to enjoy the fruits of your labour today without sabotaging tomorrow. We also share a sobering story about desperation and fraud that underscores a universal longing for security—and a call to meet real needs with wisdom and compassion. By the end, you’ll have a practical path: put essentials first, automate modest generosity, invest in your capacity, and keep your heart close to people, not just numbers.
If this conversation helps you rethink money with purpose and peace, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. Your support keeps the flow alive.
Until next time, have a spectacular day!
