AMDG.  Many of us aren't familiar with what the Catholic Church teaches on money, finances, and possessions.  We think of missionaries as being poor, but that isn't always the case—from hair shirts to heiresses, the saints have had a wide range of financial situations and gifts.  In this episode, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira of WalletWin join the Kolbecast crew to discuss handling money virtuously.  From discerning how we can best use our resources and give them back to God with increase to the idea of “maximum fruitfulness,” the Teixeiras share how helping young people say yes to God's call in their lives includes financial literacy.  Episodes of The Catholic Money Show mentioned in the conversation:  3 More Saints for Financial Help  Sts. Louie and Zélie Martin – Catholic Entrepreneurs Par Excellence  3 Saints to Pray to in a Financial Pinch  Heiress to Religious – The Story of St. Katherine Drexel   Holy Disinterest with St. Louis Martin  Relevant Kolbecast episodes:  92 Protect, Guide, Prepare, Empower  96 Adults in Training 121 Roots & Wings  146 Stepping into the Arena: Bobby Angel on our Call to Holiness  166 Dr. John Cuddeback on Dwelling Together Richly  Kolbecast episodes cover a range of topics relating to school at home, the life of faith, and Catholic education.

Recognizing the disorder within our culture is the initial step toward rectifying the missteps, often subtle, within our individual lives. Today we discuss how the world is playing this out on a grand scale which culminates in seeing things and even people simply as a means to our own personal ends. In light of this, Dr. John Cuddeback engages with us to assert that we must first identify and be aware of this limited and disordered mindset to begin to re-order and improve our lives and those around us. However, it is not enough to speak of things in the abstract or philosophical sense, we bring this knowledge into the fabric of our daily lives and offer a number of actionable methods through which we can start living out our best life.
