In this episode, we’re going deep on a topic the Church either glamorizes or demonizes—but rarely handles biblically: money . We’re unpacking Exodus, Jesus, and even Tesla stock (yep)—to wrestle through a question that’s been tripping up believers for decades: “Is wealth inherently evil… or is it just a tool?” Here’s what we found: Why the Israelites’ gold became both a golden calf and a golden lampstand What Jesus really meant when He said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also...

In Part 2 of our “The prosperity gospel, the poverty gospel, and the truth most Christians miss” series, we dive into some of Jesus’ most controversial teachings on wealth.

This might be the most important conversation we’ve had about money, faith, and the Bible. For years, we've wrestled with it. One side says God wants you rich.

In this episode, we kick off a 5-part series where we break down: What the Prosperity Gospel gets right—and dangerously wrong How the Poverty Gospel subtly creeps in as "humility" The parable that changed e...

In this episode, we crack open something most believers have never even noticed: In Genesis 2:12, God says the gold of the land was “good.” Wait, what?

Money wasn’t cursed. It was created by God and called "good". We dive into: The 8 times gold is mentioned in Genesis—and why that number matters. Why gold is ...
