Summary

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we navigate the nuances of faith and practicality. We're exploring the delicate balance between generosity and faithfulness—pondering if there's a distinction when it comes to giving our time, talents, and resources. Plus, we tackle the tricky terrain of discussing facts without slipping into gossip, emphasizing the importance of mindful communication.

In the realm of financial stewardship, we delve into a pressing question: How can we use our money in a way that truly glorifies God? The conversation takes a personal turn as we explore the complexities of remarriage, touching on the sensitive topic of when it becomes adultery and when it doesn't. With mixed responses from various pastors, we seek clarity on God's perspective and the role of grace in such situations.

The episode wraps up with a candid exploration of surrendering stress and worry to God. Can we truly trust Him to handle problems we've created, or does it risk shirking responsibility? Join us for an honest and insightful discussion on navigating faith, relationships, and the challenges of surrendering our burdens to a higher power.

1:03.0	series. I just have to tell you this, that my bonus child, I call him my bonus child. He was in our youth group. He moved in with me six years ago. Never left. And he loves the way that you speak about finances. Every single week, he tells me, that was so good. Like, he just feels like it's not, he's like he's bringing me somewhere, but he doesn't feel like it's pressured or that it's in his face.
