Welcome to the Jeff Kaven Show, where we talk about the Bible,

discipleship and evangelization, putting it all together and living as activated disciples.

This is Show 271 How to Become Rich.

Well, hello again, my friend. I'm Jeff Kaven's, and if this is your first time joining us,

because somebody invited you, it's good to meet you. This is the place where we talk about discipleship,

we talk about all things, scripture, of course, and how do we apply our faith to every day life?

I love that quote from Vatican II, Gaudium, it's buzz that says that the one of the biggest

errors of our day is this gap between faith and every day life. And I like to bridge that.

And it works my own life, and I love to share that with people like you.

Hey, we're going to talk about how to become rich today. Maybe that's why you are listening.

If you Googled how to become rich and you ended up here, that could be divine providence.

So we're going to talk about that. Before I get into that, if you do want to show notes,

and if you're new, I do give a lot of show notes, I give the scriptures that I use, I put it all

together. We have a great package to send you every single week that will prepare you for the show,

so you don't have to write it down while you're driving to work. We want you to stay safe.

And so all you have to do is type my name, Jeff Kaven's one word, Jeff Kaven's,

and you can send it to 3-3-7-7-7, quite biblical, 3-3-7-7-7. So I've wanted to talk about this topic

for quite some time now, how to become rich. It really doesn't take any level of skill to observe

in our culture today that people are really interested in becoming rich, wealthy, whatever you want

to call it, independent off the grid. There's all kinds of ways of defining what it means to be rich,

but typically people are interested in having enough money to buy the things that they want to buy

to be independent to not worry about tomorrow, both in their own lives and their children's lives,
