About this episode

Alive and Free Family! We have good news, we are offering a free training exclusively for our Alive and Free community!


This training will be done by Jim Baker in partnership with Alive and Free. This training will offer financial advice, breakthrough, and practical guidance to create the life financially that God has for you. 

 

On recent calls I've had with Jim, I've been amazed. I've never heard someone that I trust more to share about finances than Jim, we hope you will join us on this journey. Also, we plan to have a replay if you aren't able to make it to the live event.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

 

What if our financial worries could be transformed into a journey of faith and trust? Join us as we explore the unexpected intertwining of faith, business, and personal growth, beginning with the joyful news of our pregnancy and the challenges that followed, including selling our home and facing obstacles like illness. Our experiences have taught us valuable lessons on financial surrender and the power of maintaining a balance between taking control and trusting in a higher power.

Through candid reflections on early successes and financial decisions, we uncover the importance of having a safety net while also realizing the potential of money as a tool that honors something greater than ourselves. We discuss how our faith has shaped our relationship and helped us maintain unity as we manage financial stress. Sharing insights from Jim Baker's course on financial freedom, we challenge the notion that wealth should dominate our thoughts and instead highlight the significance of seeing money as a neutral tool.

Engage with us as we reflect on the complexities of judgment and understanding in faith and finances. A transformative moment with a respected pastor led us to question our own biases and beliefs around money, and how these thoughts can impact our lifestyle choices.

Together, we emphasize the importance of financial stewardship, the potential pitfalls of idolizing wealth, and the value of finding purpose beyond financial gain. With divine guidance, we explore a path toward financial wisdom and freedom, embracing a generous and spiritually aligned lifestyle.
