Our latest Man to Man Podcast, God’s Wisdom in Wealth, dives deeper into the biblical principles of managing wealth. In this episode, we explore how aligning our financial practices with God’s wisdom can transform our lives and those around us. Let’s continue our journey through finances from a faith-driven perspective,

Crafting a God-Centered Family Budget

We began by addressing the complexities of creating a family budget that honors God in a consumerism-driven world. The startling statistic is that about 22% of Americans saved less than $5,000 for retirement. We discussed the importance of a Christian budget that aligns spending with biblical values, emphasizing contentment and stewardship over materialism. Proverbs 22:7 reminds us, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender,” underscoring the need for wise financial management.

Overcoming Debt with Divine Trust

The journey through financial stewardship would only be complete with confronting debt and savings. The average American household has a significant amount of debt. We delved into biblical wisdom on avoiding debt’s bondage and the importance of purposefully saving and trusting God’s provision. Ephesians 4:32’s call to kindness and forgiveness parallels our need to manage finances with compassion and wisdom, not fear or envy.

God’s Wisdom in Wealth & Investments

Our final discussion focused on how our investments can reflect our commitment to God’s kingdom. Only 57% of U.S. adults are considered financially literate. Yet, we are to make investments that honor God and positively impact the world. Through supporting our local churches and missions, we invest in eternal treasures. Matthew 6:20 encourages us to store treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys.
