We wanted to give you a sneak peek of the brand new talk show I Gotta Ask with Annie F. Downs. This episode explores the question, "How does our faith inform our finances?" For more info on how you can watch the WHOLE season of I Gotta Ask, visit https://www.anniefdowns.com/i-gotta-ask/ If you want to watch this - check it out on your Spotify app, or YouTube! Can you trust God and still check your bank account five times a day? In this straight-talking, soul-meets-strategy conversation, Annie F. Downs is joined by BeautyBlender Founder and Owner Rea Ann Silva, financial expert Anthony O’Neal, and Annie’s friend Kelley — who asks the questions we’re all thinking but rarely say out loud. From tithing when you feel broke to navigating ambition vs. contentment, this episode dives into the real tension between faith and financial survival. And here’s the twist: money conversations don’t have to feel heavy, they can actually be freeing, and even fun. Packed with practical tools, hard truths, and hope you can actually use, this conversation will challenge how you think about money — and empower you to handle it with wisdom, freedom, faith, and a splash of humor.
