As we continue our series on Generosity, we discover that we need to keep a God-centered perspective on all we have. The post “Worship God; Use Money” (Matthew 6:19-24; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; 17-19) appeared first on PLEASANT HILL COMMUNITY CHURCH.
What happens when an emerging‑markets banker, lifelong Reddit degen, and early Ethereum believer builds a global crypto fund focused on AI? Meet Matthew “Matty” Graham, Managing Partner at Ryze Labs.Matty shares how a pizza post pulled him into Bitcoin, why the Ethereum whitepaper was his “drop everything” moment, and how Ryze helps founders reach 2B+ users across emerging markets through its “global + local” team model.We dig into the big ideas: AI agents as economic actors that must transact on open, programmable ledgers; stablecoins as the clearest current use case; why meme speculation crowds out real adoption; and why every startup should obsess over its first 5–7 real super fans (not airdrop farmers).We also hit culture clashes (AI vs crypto), institutional entry, tech history, data privacy (your ChatGPT logs are more revealing than your Google search history), and what Matty would do if launching Ryze today.Not investment advice.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam tees up Ryze Labs, AI + crypto, and future signals. [00:01:00] Origin story: Reddit pizza, early Bitcoin, failed 2013 banker pitch, curiosity grows. [00:02:30] Ethereum moment: Programmable money snaps it wide open for Matty. [00:04:00] Banker to degen: Emerging markets + appetite for the “wild west.” [00:05:00] What is Ryze Labs: Global fund with local experts across key emerging markets. [00:06:30] Why AI + crypto: Digital agents will transact value; legacy rails can't scale. [00:08:00] Real PMFs so far: Stablecoins & thinly disguised gambling; AI could be next. [00:09:30] Stablecoin utility: Paying global teams when Stripe/PayPal fail. [00:10:30] Tech history lens: Hardware waves unlock software waves; AI feels similar. [00:12:00] Data intensity: You'd leak Google history before ChatGPT chats — privacy matters. [00:14:00] AI for health: Matty's coffee/acid anecdote shows practical value already. [00:16:30] Work futures: New roles (prompt skill!), humans reorganize around tech. [00:21:00] Super fans first: 5–7 paying evangelists > vanity metrics. [00:23:00] Incentive traps: Points & airdrops mask real product‑market fit. [00:25:00] Trends check: Utility underhyped; meme/points meta overweight. [00:26:30] Institutional adoption: East‑coast style (ETFs) vs tech‑driven engagement. [00:29:00] If starting today: Split team across AI hubs (SF, Hangzhou) + emerging market depth. [00:30:00] The ask: Best‑in‑class AI+crypto builders & top engineers — DM @MattyRyze.Connecthttps://ryzelabs.io/https://x.com/RyzeLabshttps://ky.linkedin.com/company/ryzelabshttps://x.com/mattyryzeDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

This week in our Free (From The Power of) Money series, our good friend John Talley III takes us into the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30, a powerful story that challenges us to examine our faithfulness with God's gifts. This parable isn't just about money; it's about how we steward all that God entrusts to us - our time, talents, and treasures. The master in the story represents God, and we are His servants, each given different 'talents' according to our abilities. The key question we must ask ourselves is: Are we being faithful with what we have? The servants who invested and multiplied their talents were praised, while the one who buried his talent faced severe consequences. This stark contrast urges us to actively use our God-given abilities for His kingdom, rather than hiding them away in fear or laziness. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we're using our skills, resources, and time to glorify God and serve others. Are we picking and choosing what to be faithful with, or are we committed to stewarding everything God has given us?

Jesus on Money: "A Healthy Relationship with Money" Matthew 13:44-46 · It's easy to relate to money in an unhealthy way: o Security o Status o Self-worth o Comfort · Jesus sets a boundary on money: It is not and cannot be more valuable than the kingdom of heaven. o A healthy relationship with money is born from treasuring the kingdom of heaven most · The kingdom of heaven: o Is currently not a realm or place but a reign and rule of Jesus in His followers' lives (Luke 17:20-21; John 18:36) o Is most valuable and offers: § Salvation § Living hope § Spirit-empowered life § Purpose in life and suffering § Unconditional love o Is open to all who humbly turn from living for themselves to live for Jesus (Matthew 4:17; 5:3) · Keeping a healthy relationship with money requires me to invest in the kingdom of heaven (i.e., give it away to God's work). · This Week's Activate Faith o Look at how I spend money and why I spend money and evaluate what I treasure most. o Prayerfully prepare for the spiritual growth opportunity of participating in our upcoming building campaign
In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Phil dives into one of Jesus' most challenging teachings: "You cannot serve God and money."

Those who are sent as “laborers for his vineyard” (Matt. 20:1) depict the wide diversity of vocations to which the disciples of Christ Jesus are called. Whatever our particular stations in life may be, we are called to live and serve by faith in His promises. Our labors do not merit anything before Him, for He is already generous to one and all without partiality. In mercy, He has chosen to bear “the burden of the day and the scorching heat” on our behalf, to make us equal to Himself and to give us what belongs to Him, that is, the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 20:12–15). This way of the Lord is foolishness to the world and foreign to our thoughts, but He draws near, so that “he may be found” (Is. 55:6), “have compassion” and “abundantly pardon” (Is. 55:7). So it is that we are found in Christ Jesus, and He is honored in our bodies, “whether by life or by death” (Phil. 1:20), by “fruitful labor” (Phil. 1:22) or by suffering. It is by faith in His forgiveness that our works are “worthy of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus revealed how we, also, can live our best life. Join us on Sunday mornings as Dr. Gordon Dabbs shares how to apply Jesus' extraordinary teachings to life.

10 Things to Teach Your Child About Money - Matthew KellyGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribeVideo Transcript:“We need money and use money every day, but it seems nobody every receives an adequate education about how to earn, save, give, spend, and invest money. Most people regret not having learnt more about money earlier in their lives. The majority of adults wish they were more knowledgeable about personal finances, and only 57 percent of Americans are considered financially literate. When is the right time to talk to your child about money? Now and always. 1. The First Rule. Spend less than you make. This simple rule will save you so much stress and suffering. Live moderately. Control your expenses. Live below your means, all wise men and women do. 2. Become a Saver. Save 10% of everything you ever earn. If you do you will be financially independent one day, and that is a beautiful thing. Start today. Save 10% of every dollar that comes your way from chores, birthday gifts, etc. Nobody ever regretted developing the habit of saving. 3. Buying. Before you buy anything, reflect on how hard you had to work to earn the money you are about to spend. Don't confuse wants with needs. The person who needs the least has the most. 4. Invest. Invest first in yourself. The number one way wealthy people invested in themselves long before they were wealthy is by reading books. 86% of the wealthy love reading versus 26% of the poor. If you want to be financially independent someday become a reader. Commit yourself to learning more about money, personal finances, and the wisdom of wealth every year for the rest of your life. Learn how to put your money to work, so that your savings work for you even when you are sleeping.5. Debt is a form of slavery. It is one of the major forms of stress in many people's lives. Debt doesn't solve problems, it creates them. You cannot borrow your way to happiness, wealth, or success.6. Compound Interest. Learn about the power of compound interest. If you save $5 a day every day of your life to the age of 65 and invest it at a compounding rate of 9%, you will have over seven million dollars. 7. The Best Things. The best things in life really are free. It's true. Never lose sight of it. Here are a handful of examples: true love, Sundays, laughter, friendship, work you love doing, nature, hugs and kisses, waking up to a new day, feeling healthy, rain, watching the sunset. 8. Overspending. Emotionally healthy people consume less than emotionally insecure and unhealthy people. Never buy anything to make yourself feel good. Overspending is a disease. If you get sick with the disease, get help immediately. Don't wait until it takes over your life, destroys your relationships, and make you physically sick. If you are not free to say no, you are not free to say yes.9. Future Income. Don't just work for money, make your money work for you. Save and invest to ensure that you have income in the future. Contribute to your retirement plan as soon as you start working, buy a rental property, invest in a business. Ensure a future income for yourself and your family. 10. Generosity. Decide to be a generous person. No matter how little you have, always look for ways to be generous with others. The joy of giving elevates the soul. Get your child three jars and help them make labels: SAVE, SPEND, GIVE. Encourage him/her to put ten percent of any money they receive in the save jar, ten percent in the give jar, and eighty percent in the spend jar. Teach them to enjoy earning, saving, giving, and spending. Teaching your child about money is a gift that will pay dividends every day for the rest of their lives. It doesn't matter how much money a person makes, if he/she doesn't not know how to manage it wisely&

When Money takes the place of God it leads to seeking a life of ease, greed, and anxiety. When we trust in God and his provision, it leads to peace, hope, and sacrificial giving. This is the difference Jesus makes in our financial lives.
