Today, we're heading once again to Denver, Colorado, and connecting with an educator, speaker, and author, Dr. Danny Brassell. Danny has devoted his life to improving the literacy aptitudes and attitudes of thousands. When Danny discovered that many of the reading teachers, the parents, community volunteers, and other students that he trained found little time to read for their own personal enjoyment, he began giving them recommendations of short literary works that anyone could read while waiting in a grocery line or sitting at a boring staff meeting.  Visit the C4C website to gain full access to the transcript, show notes, and guest links. Coaching 4 Companies

In this episode of Yahweh's Money, we're keeping it real, keeping it holy and keeping it honest. Shay Cook sits down with her sister, salon owner and entrepreneur Montoya Silver for a powerful conversation about debt, faith, and financial freedom.In this episode, we're diving into the emotional and spiritual weight of financial responsibility, how being uncomfortable is often where God does His best work, and why debt isn't always a bad thing—it's a tool that, with the right mindset and stewardship, can lead to generational wealth.From scaling a business with borrowed funds to paying yourself as a service-based entrepreneur, Montoya shares her unfiltered journey with debt, business ownership, and spiritual alignment.If you've ever felt the anxiety of owing more than you're earning—or wondered if faith has anything to do with your finances—this episode is your reminder that freedom starts with surrender.Here's what you'll walk away with:A reframed perspective: why debt isn't always bad, but staying in it without a plan is.How entrepreneurship tests your faith—and your budget.Biblical strategies for finding peace in financial pressure.The power of responsible stewardship and spiritual growth.How fixed expenses and fluctuating income require both wisdom and faith.Why paying yourself is paying your people.What it means to be uncomfortable and still obedient.Featured Scriptures:Proverbs 22:7 – “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.”Philippians 4:6 – “Be anxious for nothing…”Luke 14:28 – “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost…”Action Step:Choose one debt this month—just one—and make a plan. Whether that means paying it down, refinancing, or simply praying over it with intention, name it and claim your authority over it with God's help.Final Word:Debt may be uncomfortable, but discomfort births growth. When you partner with God, even your financial mess can become a message of freedom.Send us a text

Welcome to Yahweh's Money: The Crossroads of Religion and Money. I'm Shay Cook, an Accredited Financial Counselor®️, passionate believer, and the founder of Crusaders for Change®️, LLC. If you've ever felt curious, uncomfortable, confused, or even guilty talking about money in a spiritual setting, I created this space for you.We've been taught that money is the root of all evil. That tithing is about obligation, not overflow. That debt is a sign of failure—not a place where grace can show up. But I believe it's time to challenge those narratives.On this podcast, I dive deep into the connection between faith and finances. We'll talk about tithing, saving, debt, financial trauma, generosity, and more—all through a biblical and empowering lens. Because I believe you can be faithful and financially free. You can trust God and still have a budget. You can walk in your purpose without walking in lack.Each episode weaves together scripture, practical financial tools, and real conversations to help you break free from shame, embrace your role as a steward—not a struggler—and build a life of abundance that honors God and your goals.This podcast is part of the mission I've been called to through Crusaders for Change, where we help people walk in financial healing and spiritual wholeness. Visit crusaders4change.org to learn more about our programs and community.If you're ready to stop surviving and start stewarding, I invite you to hit follow.

In this episode of Yahweh's Money, we're keeping it real, keeping it holy—and keeping it hilarious. I sit down with comedian and radio personality Larry Lancaster for a soul-nourishing conversation about the power of laughter, faith, and financial resilience.This isn't your average “let's talk money” episode.We dive deep into how humor becomes a spiritual tool in hard times, why many of our financial issues are rooted in ego—not lack—and how a cheerful heart truly is good medicine (Proverbs 17:22). Larry doesn't hold back as he shares his journey from growing up in the roughest part of Baltimore to building a thriving comedy career grounded in purpose and faith.We talk about the emotional weight of trying to make ends meet, the shame that often comes with financial struggle, and why God might be giggling right along with us—because sometimes, laughter is all we have left. And sometimes, that's exactly what gets us through.This episode is part testimony, part stand-up set, and all heart.Here's what you'll walk away with:A new appreciation for laughter as a holy act of survival.Real talk on how ego often keeps us in debt, not lack of money.Stories from Larry's upbringing that shaped his outlook on money, manhood, and mental health.How growing up with a parent with mental illness taught him grace, grit, and gratitude.Why financial literacy without spiritual alignment will leave you feeling empty.The role of joy, jokes, and Jesus in managing economic pressure.What Diddy, church money, and designer jeans can teach us about humility.And yes—there's also a bit about a sleepy McDonald's employee, $19 jeans, and a thousand bottles of baby oil that'll have you laughing out loud and shaking your head.Featured Scripture:Proverbs 17:22 — “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”Action Step:Find one financial frustration this week and laugh about it. Whether it's a ridiculous fee, a busted budget, or a week of creative cooking with what's left in your pantry—laugh, reflect, and give it to God. Then ask Him to renew your joy in the middle of your financial journey.Because while God gave us wisdom, budgeting tools, and community support—He also gave us laughter.Let this episode remind you that even when the money's funny, the joy is still real.Send us a text

In the season 4 opening episode of Yahweh's Money, I had an open and heartfelt conversation with my husband, Nathaniel Cook Jr., about the intersection of love, legacy, faith, and finances in Black marriages. Drawing on our 26-year journey together, we reflected on how biblical principles, patient partnership, and intentional money management have shaped our relationship and approach to generational wealth.Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion:Compromise is CrucialMarriage and money both thrive on honest conversations and joint decision-making. Neither partner will always be right, and building wealth requires alignment—even if visions aren't identical, they must point in the same direction.Faith Fuels Financial ResilienceLeaning on faith helps navigate disagreements and encourages patience, trust, and hope—both in God and each other. Strong faith doesn't erase worry, but it anchors couples through uncertain times.Generational Understanding Builds WealthWealth isn't just about assets; it's also about the mindset passed on. Demonstrating responsible financial behaviors and discussing money openly with our daughter has helped her set a new “floor” for her own future, raising the bar for the next generation.If you're looking to strengthen your relationship or build a financial legacy, consider scheduling a "money date" with your partner—pray together and align on your vision for the future.Let's keep breaking cycles and building together!Episode Resources:Ecclesiastes 4:12Send us a text
