Quotables from the Episode:

  • The Bible has a lot to say about our finances. When we need financial wisdom, we need to go to His word.
  • When there is more month than money, we have to trust God to be our provider.
  • Bankruptcy is a real-life example of what Christ has done for us: debt cancellation.

 

Scripture References:

  • 2 Corinthians 1:9 “But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God.”
  • Romans 5:3-5 “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
