Description:

God really wants you to be a financially confident Christian, and that’s what we’re diving into today. Why Does God Want Me to Be Financially Confident? We’re busting the myth that money and faith are at odds, ‘cause let’s face it, feeling guilty about wanting to be financially successful is just plain silly. We’ll chat about how God desires your confidence—not for your own selfish gains, but so you can serve, give generously, and make a real impact in the world. It’s all about using money as a tool, not a goal, and how that confidence can transform your relationship with Him. So, stick around as we unpack why financial confidence is key to living out your faith and advancing His kingdom!

Getting into the nitty-gritty of faith and finances, this episode dives deep into the idea that being a Christian doesn’t mean you have to be broke or guilty about money. Ralph kicks things off by addressing the elephant in the church: money! He lays it out straight that God isn't into making us feel guilty or fearful about our finances. Instead, He wants us to be financially confident so we can live freely, serve abundantly, and give generously. The discussion revolves around the struggle many face between wanting financial success and feeling like it’s somehow unspiritual. Ralph drops some stats from a Barna Group survey showing that 65% of Christians carry guilt about their financial aspirations. That’s a heavy load to bear, and Ralph is here to lift it! He reminds us that money is just a tool for worship, not the end goal. It’s all about using what we have to glorify God and advance His kingdom. He wraps up with a challenge: define your kingdom purpose and connect it to your financial goals. Because when we align our finances with our faith, we can truly become the confident Christians God calls us to be.

Takeaways:

  • God wants you to be financially confident, not for selfish gain, but to serve others.
  • Money isn't the goal; it's just a tool to help you live out your purpose.
  • Feeling guilty about wanting financial success keeps you from glorifying God with your resources.
  • Financial confidence allows you to give generously and truly impact others for God's kingdom.
  • Define your kingdom purpose so your financial goals align with what God wants for you.
  • True stewardship is worship, not just managing money, but using it to serve God.
