Welcome to Episode 4 of the Faith & Finance Podcast by the Pentecostal Community Bank.
Hosted by Brenda Emmanus OBE, this episode features Benedicta Egbeme — qualified accountant, entrepreneur, and financial educator. Benedicta shares how her love for numbers evolved into a calling around financial stewardship, and why financial freedom is not defined by income, but by wisdom, discipline, and mindset.
She speaks candidly about lifestyle inflation, financial literacy, stewardship over ownership, and the role of faith in managing money well — offering practical, biblical insight on budgeting, saving, investing, and building a healthy money mindset for individuals, families, and business owners.
