In this episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold dives deep into a topic that many believers wrestle with but rarely voice: Is it biblical to desire wealth? With raw honesty and scriptural clarity, Arnold unpacks the tension between faith, finance, and calling—especially for Christians in the Western world. Whether you've felt guilty for desiring increase or unsure how your financial goals fit into your kingdom purpose, this episode will equip you with truth, conviction and clarity for your journey ahead. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Wrestling with Prosperity as a Believer Is it wrong to desire wealth? Should Christians feel guilty? 02:03 – Marketplace Ministry & Kingdom Assignment Your career can serve God beyond pulpits and missions. 03:18 – Western Wealth & Global Reality Check Many Western believers are in the global top 2–4%—what does that mean spiritually? 06:43 – Luke 12:48 & The Weight of Wealth "To whom much is given, much is required"—wealth is a kingdom responsibility. 08:12 – Career vs. Calling Conflict Arnold nearly left law for ministry before realizing his marketplace mission. 11:46 – God's Need for Kingdom Representatives Everywhere Believers should shape culture in finance, healthcare, media, and beyond. 13:09 – Reclaiming Prosperity from Distortion Prosperity isn't evil; it's a neutral tool—its impact depends on one's heart. 17:07 – Wealth as a Trust, Not a Trophy Kingdom prosperity funds missions, builds communities, and serves others. 19:04 – 2 Corinthians 9:8–11: Prosperity for Purpose We're enriched for generosity and good works. 22:12 – Bargaining with God & The Myth of "Later Generosity" If you're not generous now, more money won't fix it—it will magnify what's already there. 24:22 – Redefining Sowing & Giving Generosity goes beyond church offerings—daily kindness and sacrificial giving matter. 27:03 – God's Protection Through Delay Financial delays can protect character, relationships, and the soul. 28:34 – Kingdom Wealth Rebuilds Communities Righteous wealth restores lives, funds missions, and expands the Gospel. 29:48 – Called to Influence Culture, Not Escape It God raises believers to bring order into chaos. You're meant to influence, not hide. 31:37 – Assignment-Sized Increase Your wealth should match your God-given mission. 32:44 – Bold Declarations of Faith & Purpose Breaking shame and fear around wealth—affirming your role as a kingdom steward. 33:26 – What's Next: Moving from Conviction to Systems Next episode: Practical financial strategies that reflect God's order. Highlights From The Episode “Prosperity isn't self-indulgence—it's kingdom assignment.” “The kingdom of God isn't confined to pulpits; it needs representation everywhere.” “Comfort says, ‘Let me accumulate and relax.' Kingdom says, ‘Let me multiply and release.'” “Increase doesn't create generosity—it exposes it.” “God doesn't give seed to hoarders—He gives it to sowers.”   Practical Steps You Can Take Reflect on Your 'Why': Ask yourself why you desire financial increase. Is it for ego or for kingdom assignment? Embrace Your Marketplace Calling: Whether you're in business, education, tech or trade—own it as a God-ordained ministry. Evaluate Your Generosity: Start giving now, regardless of your income level. Practise open-handedness with time, money, and presence. Pray for Character Over Cash: Ask God to shape your heart so you're trustworthy with the increase you seek.

Sovereignty, authenticity & autonomy can't co exist within hierarchy.  As you likely already sense. Within a system designed to give our power away to a teacher, limitation is inevitable.  Mainstream replication says we must be given access, to someone higher up the ladder, through levels, through lineage, through a system that keeps us reaching outwards.  There's a “right way” to practise, methods to follow or a destination point to achieve.  But what if connection was never meant to be passed down through hierarchy, but remembered from within? Because reclamation says: no rigid rules.  No energetic outsourcing.  No gatekeeping what's already ours to claim.  Your connection to Reiki energy, Spiritual wisdom and your intuition, was never anybody else's to “give” you.  You don't need permission from anyone or any system.  You just need to remember.In this week's episode, I invite you to honour your state of “becoming” on a path of natural evolution where you no longer chase arrival, but embody emergence. And I share with you with an opportunity to return to your Spiritual authority with my Root, Build, Embody Process ™ – the 3 key elements needed to reclaim your sovereign energy practise.Here's my free 1 hour workshop called Lifting the Veil on Reiki: Reclaim your Sovereign Energy Practise Beyond Mainstream Limitations: ⁠https://reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/⁠Here is the link to my free online non – guru community, with no hierarchy or all-knowing behaviour, where you'll find a workshop or practical activity supporting you to integrate any truths this episode has unearthed for you, inside Embodied Echoes - After the Pod.  If you feel called to meet that shift with presence in your unique practise, there's a space waiting that doesn't direct, but invites your own unfolding: ⁠https://reikiredefined.com/free-community/⁠You'll find me on socials @reikiredefined.

From The Logopraxis Workbook - Spiritual Literacy Thinking spiritually, or practising spiritual literacy skills, underpins all of our Logopraxis work, and relies on the tools detailed throughout the Workbook, particularly in Step 3, How to Meet and the Appendix. It refers to the ability to ‘read 'what presents into our conscious awareness, in the light of what the Word teaches is true. In cultivating these skills, we seek to observe the spiritual principles within the literal meaning of the Text, and from these to then recognise states of thought or feeling that arise in us while engaging with the Word, or while people in our Life Group share their experience with the Word. Our day-to-day activities and relationships are the field in which our inner reactions and responses can be observed, and seen to illustrate what the Word teaches regarding the nature of self and the nature of the Divine, of the Lord. Natural or material thinking is dominated by worldly concerns that involve people (including ourselves), places, events, memories of the past, or projections regarding the future - and in general terms, this mode of thought functions from the belief that what the senses perceive are ‘real 'things. Spiritual thinking is not concerned with that but rather is focused on those things that belong to our states of mind: the relations of goods and truths, thoughts and affections, motivations and intentions, beliefs and attitudes, shunning evils and falsities, and the activity of the hellish proprium and the hells versus what is of the Lord and heaven. So, the practise of spiritual literacy skills involves working to remove the natural material world elements of person, place, time, and space from the content of what we are reading or listening to, and to hold the intention to see how what's being offered might be framed in a way that captures the universal aspects of spiritual process. This divided attention of observing both internal and external states while engaging with the Word is a valuable tool in stilling the mind and helps us to be consciously present to what arises both in ourselves and in our Life Group. When universal aspects are shared, others are then more easily able to resonate with them in relation to their own work with the Word, and to see how it is true for the processes they personally experience. When this is seen, it more fully supports the Lord's end - which is the regeneration of the human mind. In this way, the good of the Word as the Lord is made more visible in our midst. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments offered in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to keep the focus on understanding the Text in terms of its application to the inner life along with reinforcing any key LP principles that have been highlighted in the exchanges.

When children need to talk, they'll give subtle clues that most parents miss completely. Recognising these moments and responding with actual listening—not advice, stories, or solutions—creates connections that last decades. The secret? Summarise what they say instead of steering the conversation. Most children never reveal their real issue first, which means parents who jump in with solutions are missing what their children truly need: to be understood. Quote of the Episode: "Understanding is the deepest hunger of the human heart." - Stephen Covey (quoted by Ross Judd) Key Points: Children rarely reveal their real issue first—they test the waters with a "safe" topic before sharing what's really bothering them. Look for unusual behaviour or emotional signals that indicate your child needs to talk. Taking control of the conversation prevents your child from getting to the deeper issue. The art of summarising (repeating back what your child has said) is the key to effective listening. Our brains think 10 times faster than people speak, making it incredibly difficult to truly listen. Deep listening isn't something you need to do all the time—just recognise the important moments. Children often already have the answers to their problems; they just need someone to listen. Use neutral phrases like "tell me more" to encourage continued sharing. Don't change the direction of the conversation with questions that steer it elsewhere. Effective listening involves "taking the ride, not the wheel"—let your child drive the conversation. Resources Mentioned: "Listening: A Guide to Building Deeper Connections" by Ross Judd "Miss Connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk" by Dr. Justin Coulson Stephen Covey's concept of "faithful translation" (active listening technique) Happy Families Action Steps for Parents: Recognise special moments when your child is seeking connection (unusual behaviour, lingering in doorways, emotional signals). When these moments occur, stop everything, engage fully, and put away distractions. Use neutral phrases like "tell me more" instead of asking directive questions. Practise summarising what your child says without adding your own input. Remember that the real issue usually comes second—be patient and don't try to solve the first problem they mention.
