Summary

Society often tells us that having a big family is financially unfeasible—but is that really true? Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Paul J. Kim, a renowned speaker, comedian, and ministry leader, who debunks this myth. We dive into the practical and spiritual aspects of family finances, emphasizing radical trust in God's providence, hard work, and an inflation-proof investment strategy. Paul also shares his powerful journey of faith—from a partying lifestyle to a deeper conversion —along with his love story, a romance that bridged the divide between Catholicism and Protestantism. Plus, we explore his family’s rich history, including his father’s unlikely conversion to Catholicism in Korea. With Paul’s signature joy and humor, this conversation is both inspiring and entertaining. Don’t miss it!
