Listen "Why Money Matters to God"
Episode Synopsis
What if your money told a story about who you worship? We dive into a question many believers feel but rarely voice: why would an infinite God care so much about money? The answer starts with identity. We were created first as worshipers and then as stewards, and that order reshapes every choice we make—earning, giving, saving, and spending. When worship leads, stewardship becomes an act of love rather than a race for output.In this conversation, we trace this through scripture: Cain and Abel show that God weighs the heart behind the gift, not just the gift itself. Mary and Martha remind us that presence with Jesus outranks productivity for Jesus. And Paul’s letters to the Corinthians reveal generosity as a test of sincere love, pointing us back to the grace of Christ, who became poor so we could become rich in Him. Along the way, we wrestle with a real-world tension faced by high-capacity leaders: should I push for more ventures that crowd my calendar, or slow down to abide? The answer isn’t anti-ambition; it’s about alignment—offering God worship first so our work flows cleanly from it.You’ll leave with practical questions that recalibrate the heart: Do my financial choices deepen my dependence on God? Does my giving lead others to thank Him? Where is my money training my affections? We share rhythms for prayerful decision-making, frameworks for planned and spontaneous generosity, and a simple test for stewardship that echoes Paul’s vision: use money in ways that meet real needs and spark praise.
