Have you heard the phrase "Money is the root of all evil?" It's a common error and often leads to misunderstandings when it comes to finances. Everyone needs money in the world; we have to buy food, pay bills, and it generally makes life easier to live when we have it! Money on its own is neither good or evil, but with the wrong intentions, the wrong mindset, or even the wrong treasure, it is the love of money, rather than focusing on what really matters, that gets us into "hot water."
In today's episode, Traci discusses this misused Bible verse about money, 1 Timothy 6:10, and how this simple misunderstanding about money has created a culture of wrong assumptions about its purpose and those who have it.
