In this final message of our Blessed to be a Blessing series, Pastor Josh Blair teaches on God's perspective of money — not as something to fear or worship, but as a tool that can be used to advance His Kingdom. This week's sermon dives deep into biblical financial principles, showing how generosity, stewardship, and trust in God lead to lasting peace and purpose. From the dangers of misplaced trust in wealth to the freedom that comes from faithful tithing, this message challenges us to invite God into our finances and to live with financial peace and generosity.
In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges sits down with financial expert and best-selling author Dave Ramsey for a powerful conversation on money, leadership, and building lasting momentum.

You'll hear practical insights on budgeting, debt, generosity, and how to help people move from being strapped to being free. Whether you're a pastor, business leader, or simply want to grow in stewardship, this conversation will challenge and equip you with timeless principles to build unstoppable momentum in your life and ministry.

Many couples treat money like “yours” and “mine,” but Scripture calls us to live as “one flesh”—and that includes our finances. In this episode Derek, Garielle, and Scott talk about joint accounts, transparency, and simple rhythms that move you from roommates to true financial intimacy. Scriptures:Genesis 2:24Psalm 24:1Psalm 50:10 Questions to Discuss:1. Do you and your spouse share food?2. Why does it matter whether you merge your bank accounts or not?3. When you hear “one flesh financially,” what excites you and what scares you? Why?4. If you keep (or want) separate accounts, what heart-level reasons are driving that (control, fear, secrecy, past hurt, convenience)?5. What weekly or bi-weekly money rhythm would help us communicate (budget review, giving/prayer, upcoming expenses, savings goals)?

Subscribe to my newsletter: https://untangledfaith.substack.com Dan and Summer Watt & Melissa Hogan joined me for episode 39: The Problem with Financial Peace University and Dave Ramsey's Financial Rhetoric. This conversation we had was made possible by the fact that those of us involved in this episode have spent the last several years processing together our experiences with the ups and downs of Financial Peace University and the rhetoric coming from the Ramsey Show. While we all had different levels of understanding and adhering to the plan, each of us have found ourselves with serious questions. Some of these questions started before we broke ties with the organization and some of these realizations came later. We don't claim to be unbiased observers. We all have had very painful and disappointing experiences with Ramsey Solutions, but we don't think that negates the very real questions we raise. Links: D.L.

Do you wish your church could have more financial margin for ministry? Are your people struggling with debt and low giving? In this episode of The Unstuck Church Podcast, Sean interviews George Kamel from Ramsey Solutions about how Financial Peace University is helping churches break free from financial stress. We're shooting straight with these questions. Why are so few churchgoers tithing regularly? How is debt truly impacting healthy church growth, and what are practical ways church leaders can start transforming their church's financial health today? George shares some remarkable statistics about how FPU is increasing per-donor giving in churches while helping congregations get serious about biblical stewardship. If money was one of Jesus' most discussed topics, it should probably tell us something. If you're tired of avoiding money conversations in your church, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Megan and Steven unpack their feelings about debt and why it's a massive red flag in dating relationships.

Faith and finances don't often mix in our conversations, but what happens when financial crisis forces you to completely redefine your relationship with money? Raychel's story will challenge everything you thought you knew about God's role in your financial life.When a casual decision to take Financial Peace University collided with losing 85% of her family income through an unexpected layoff, Raychel faced a moment of truth. Should she hold tighter to her remaining resources or take the counterintuitive leap of faith to begin tithing? The answer changed everything.Through Raychel's journey, we explore the transformation that happens when we shift from viewing tithing as a religious tax to seeing it as an act of worship and trust. Her story reveals how God often works outside the logic of spreadsheets and budgets – providing contract work that appeared seemingly out of nowhere, stretching time in impossible ways, and creating abundance that defies explanation.Beyond the financial miracles, Raychel shares how learning to hear God's voice became central to her transformation. Those quiet nudges that seemed to come "out of left field" – guiding her to prioritize volunteering when work demands were overwhelming, prompting her to recognize her career as an unexpected stronghold – became the compass for navigating her new financial reality.This conversation isn't just for those facing financial hardship. It's for anyone who's ever wondered if God cares about your bank account, your career decisions, or how you spend your time. Raychel's testimony reminds us that sometimes the most extraordinary provision comes when we finally surrender control of what we thought we couldn't afford to lose.What area of your life is God asking you to release control over today? Your finances might just be the beginning.https://generationstogenerations.com/podcastordinarypeoplestories@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/ordinarypeoplestory https://www.instagram.com/ordinarypeopleextraordinary/ X: @storiesextra Any advice should be confirmed with a qualified professional.All rights reserved: Ordinary People Extraordinary ThingsStories shared by guests may not always be shared views of OPET.
