Summary
In this episode, Lindsey and Jesse Maestas sit down with Bob and Linda Lotich, authors of Simple Money, Rich Life, to talk about what it truly means to see your money as God's money—and how that perspective can completely change the way you live, give, and plan for the future.
Bob and Linda share how they started as a couple earning minimum wage and dreamed of giving away millions of dollars—and how God helped them make that happen.
Together, they unpack the power of generosity, the pitfalls of "YOLO" spending, and how to build a life that reflects eternal impact over temporary comfort.
In this episode, we cover:
-
What it means to view your finances as God's assets that you're managing, not owning
-
Why "YOLO thinking" can become self-serving instead of freeing
-
How radical generosity transforms both the giver and the receiver
-
What happens when you give beyond your comfort zone
-
Practical ways to live simply, earn purposefully, and give abundantly
