5 keys to being a good steward with PJ Vescovi
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
In this episode, I sat down with PJ Vescovi — financial advisor, pastor, and author of The Great Money Reform — and this one’s going to challenge you in the best way possible.

The #1 Mistake Christians Make When it Comes to Giving
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
What if the greatest danger in our giving isn’t how much we give—but why we give? In this episode, Bob and Linda unpack one of the most shocking stories in Acts 5: the tale of Ananias and Sapphira. Why did God respond so severely—and what does it reveal about our own struggles with wealth, legacy, and generosity? Together, we wrestle with the tension between leaving an inheritance (Proverbs 13:22) and practicing radical generosity (Acts 4, Matthew 6:33).

Charlie Kirk | Praying for enemies | And the crazy thing that happened when we did
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Over the last few weeks, there’s been so much talk about the Charlie Kirk tragedy. But as I’ve listened to all the commentary, I realized—no one’s talking about this. We didn’t want to make another video about what happened. We wanted to talk about what Jesus actually modeled when something unthinkable happens… and how that applies to us right now. This episode honestly challenged both of us deeply. It’s one of those conversations where you feel the tension between what feels fair… and what faith actually calls us to do. We’re not trying to debate headlines. We’re just...

10 Millionaire Patterns the Wealthy Follow (and Broke People Don't)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Most people think wealth is about earning more. The truth? It’s about the patterns you repeat every day. In this episode, we break down 10 specific patterns that predict whether you’ll be broke or wealthy 10–20 years from now.

Why God's provision won't work if you miss this
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
This episode hit me hard. We cracked open 2 Kings 4—the story of the widow, her debt, and the jars of oil—and I realized it’s not just about a miracle… it’s about God’s system for provision. Most of us pray for breakthrough but miss the order: 👉 Ask 👉 Obey 👉 Sell (work the miracle) 👉 Pay debt 👉 Then live on the overflow The widow didn’t just receive money from heaven. She started what might be the first side hustle in the Bible. And her story shows us exactly why so many of us feel like God’s provision “isn’t working.” Here’s what we unpack in this...

The #1 thing destroying wealthy/successful Christians (w/ John Bevere)
SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich
Pride is sneaky. It hides behind our success. It masks itself as “spiritual maturity.” It even whispers, “Look at how humble you are.” And if we’re not careful, pride will be the very thing that takes us out. In this episode, Linda and I unpack a conversation with John Bevere that completely reframed how I see wealth, success, and following Jesus. We dive into the #1 thing that’s quietly destroying successful Christians — and why humility isn’t just a virtue, it’s survival. Here’s what we cover: Why King Uzziah’s downfall in the Old Testament still matters for...
info_outlineWe thought our story was set. For 13 years, we gave our age as a percentage of our income. It became who we were. People knew us as that couple. Our mortgage was paid off in 10 months. We wrote books about it. We spoke on stages about it. We shared the miracle everywhere.
And then—God asked us to stop.
This episode is not about numbers. It’s about obedience. About what happens when the thing God once asked you to do becomes an idol. About the courage it takes to release your identity and follow Him into a new season.
Here’s what we cover:
- The story of giving our age, and the miracles we saw.
- Why it was harder to stop than to start.
- How God shifted us from radical giving to radical saving.
- The danger of clinging to formulas instead of clinging to God.
- The system we built from this new season (and why it might change the way you think about money forever).
This isn’t a “how-to.” It’s an invitation. Ask God: What do you have for me now?
