The moment your bank app tightens your chest is the moment your money story speaks. We explore how finances quietly drift from intentional tools in God’s hands to reactive habits driven by fear, status, and survival—and why a faithful, simple design can pull you back.

We start by redefining money as a tool, a test, and a trust, not a scoreboard. Then we map five clear signs of drift: avoiding the real numbers, spending from emotion, chasing “enough” that always moves, giving that feels either impossible or mechanical, and tying identity to debt or status. Along the way, we open the hood on deeper scripts—family patterns, scarcity, status pressure, control, and shame—that disciple our decisions long before any budget app does.

From there, we move into practice. You’ll learn how to run a “financial testimony audit” on the last 60–90 days to see what your numbers say about trust and values. We share a hard-won budgeting lesson from a first job at Walmart, and why raises don’t heal drift without a renewed mindset. Then we offer a simple 10 percent re-aim—toward giving, debt beyond the minimum, or savings for margin—paired with a short payday prayer to align your plans with God’s purpose. No guilt trips, no hype, just design over default and faithfulness over flash.

If treasure leads the heart, where are you headed? Join us to re-aim one slice of your finances, invite God into the hard numbers, and trade quiet shame for clear steps. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to tell us what you’re re-aiming this month.

Words To Live By

Matthew 6:21

1 Corinthians 4:2

Reflections Questions

1.What story did I grow up believing about money?

2.When I’m stressed, sad, or feeling “less than,” how do I use money?

3.If someone read my bank statement like a journal,

what would they say I treasure most?

4.Where do I feel the greatest shame about money?

What might it look like to bring that shame into the light with God

instead of hiding it?

5.How have I seen God provide in my life before—

and why do I still live like I’m completely alone in this area?

6.If I truly believed that everything I have is God’s,

7.Who could I invite into my money story

so I’m not carrying it in secret?
