Why I think God hates our money system (and what to do about it)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Is our money system actually working against faithful stewardship? In this episode, Bob and Linda tackle a conversation almost no one in the church is having—but one every Christian steward needs to understand. Bob opens with a shocking reality: $100 in 1971 now buys about $12 worth of stuff. Same number. Far less value. So what happened? From there, the conversation zooms out to explore inflation, fiat currency, and why Scripture repeatedly condemns unequal weights and measures. Is our modern money system quietly violating biblical principles—and if so, what...

Your Budget Is Not a Jail Cell—It’s a Spiritual Warfare Plan
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
When money is tight, a budget can feel like punishment. Like proof you messed up… or worse, proof your faith is weak. But what if that’s backwards? In this episode, Bob and Linda flip the script and show why a budget isn’t evidence of failure—it’s evidence of faith in action. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and real-life stories, they unpack why budgeting is actually a weapon God gives us in seasons of financial pressure. If you’ve ever thought, “If God would just fix this, why do I need a spreadsheet?”—this conversation is for you. ...

Does a Church Salary Always Corrupt Pastors? (This Guy Says Yes)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
A viral clip claims something shocking: any pastor who gets paid by a church will eventually be corrupted by money. It’s a bold accusation — and honestly, harder to dismiss than you might think. In this episode, Bob and Linda watch the clip, slow it down, and wrestle with the real tension underneath the claim. Is the modern church system broken? Does money inevitably compromise spiritual leadership? Or is this another example of painting faithful people with too broad a brush? This conversation isn’t defensive or dismissive. It’s thoughtful, biblical,...

We Tithed Our Way Into Homelessness (And God Used It)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
What if obedience doesn’t lead to the breakthrough you expected? Andy and Serena Ryan did “the right things.” They took a biblical money course. They committed to tithing. They tried to steward their finances faithfully. And then everything fell apart. They lost income. Fell behind on rent. Needed food pantries and church assistance. And eventually—after months of praying for a miracle—they packed up their family and moved into an RV in someone else’s backyard. This episode isn’t a prosperity story. It’s a surrender story. In one of the most...

Why Your Stuff Might Be Blocking Your Blessings (with Joshua Becker)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Most Christians agree that materialism is bad… but few of us have ever connected the clutter in our garages to the condition of our hearts. In this episode, Bob sits down with Joshua Becker (author of Uncluttered Faith and founder of BecomingMinimalist.com) to explore a provocative idea: what if consumerism isn’t just a money issue—but a spiritual one? Joshua makes the case that the things we own—and the things we want—may be quietly choking out our fruitfulness, distracting us from God’s best, and stealing time, energy, and joy we didn’t realize we were...

Even after spiritual abuse, THIS is why I still tithe
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Spiritual abuse around money almost made us stop giving altogether. We’ve seen manipulation from the pulpit. We’ve witnessed leaders mishandle funds.
