Together we’ll discuss how our culture influences our thoughts on wealth (both for and against), and how feeling the tension of idolatry is actually a reminder to keep Jesus the main focus.Finally, we’ll explore the stigma surrounding networking marketing, and reveal how when done well, network marketing is actually an excellent business model, especially for women and moms who want to prioritize family and help provide for their households. Highlights:Why does it matter who owns the wealth in our world?Refuting prosperity gospel as well as poverty gospelWhat does Batman do for a living, anyway?Cultural judgments on making moneyWhat does Jesus think about wealthy people?How to keep money from becoming an idolInsight into the people who funded Jesus’s ministryHow our work spreads “wealth” that’s not just financialSlaying the stigma surrounding networking marketingGetting over our misconceptions about money and workingResources mentioned in this episode:Thou Shall Prosper by Rabbi Daniel LapinRich young man and Jesus - Matthew 19:16-22Village of Hope in Zambia Shaklee CorporationConnect with Alyssa on her Facebook pageIs your dream doable?
