SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)

In this final episode of our “Prosperity Gospel, Poverty Gospel, and The Gospel” series, we’re diving into the forgotten commands of scripture that every Christian should know when it comes to money. We’re not just talking about how to make more or give more — we’re talking about how to think biblically about money, handle it with eternity in mind, and why most believers are stuck in financial cycles that don’t reflect the heart of God. We break down 1 Timothy 6:17–19 and show how Paul gives us a framework for wealth that isn’t about prosperity or poverty — it’s...

What if I told you that nothing you own is actually yours—and that this truth could radically change how you think about money, stress less, and give more? In this episode, we dig into one of the most transformational shifts in our Christian financial journey: moving from ownership to stewardship. This isn’t just a spiritual concept—it’s the antidote to both the prosperity gospel and the poverty gospel. We break down: Why guilt fades when you realize you're a steward The 3 principles Jesus taught that flip your finances upside-down How estate sales (yes, really) shook us into...

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” The shocking contrast between how the Old and New Testament describe...

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. You’ve heard “sell everything,” “camel through the eye of a needle,” and “blessed are the poor,” but what if we’ve been misunderstanding who He was talking to and why?  In this episode, we unpack: Why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything—and why He didn’t tell Zacchaeus the same thing. The real reason wealth can be dangerous (it’s not what you think). Why Joseph of...

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. The other says being poor makes you holy. But neither seemed to fully line up with Scripture. What if both extremes missed the point? 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 everything for us  The biblical third way no one talks about enough How prayer can...

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? Before money was minted, before greed and shame twisted its meaning, God placed gold in Eden... and He called it good. That same word—“good”—used for trees, land, animals, and all creation. 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 incorruptible (literally) and what that symbolizes. How Abraham’s wealth wasn’t...
