Episode Summary

Wealth can be a blessing or a curse. It’s not the money that’s the problem, though. It’s our attitude toward it. In this episode, Dale and Veronica breakdown the biblical instruction for the management of money.

The top three reasons for Christian divorce are sex, money, and children. Sadly, much of the church has adopted a secular perspective on money while neglecting to implement the Bible’s instruction for wealth. In this episode, Dale and Veronica discuss debt, saving, and the theology of biblical money management.
