Bountiful: The Heart of Money Management examines how Christians can maintain the proper perspective on material wealth and its purpose in our lives. Being rich in this world is very different than being rich toward God. Gary and Christy will look to the Scriptures to discuss how Christians can use their money and possessions to the glory of God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).

    When Is a Good Time To Buy...

    What are some considerations to make before making a big purchase? How do we know when a good time to buy an expensive item would be? During the holidays? At the end of a season? A lot of faithful financial management, including when to buy big-ticket items, has little to do with money and a lot to do with mindset. In this episode, we discuss how affordability as well as patience and self-control play a role in determining when a good time to buy something is. "Purchases don't motivate us to make big life changes."

    Diversification

    Diversification is a term commonly used in reference to investments. A diversified investment portfolio would include different asset classes like stocks, bonds, precious metals, real estate, or cryptocurrency.

    Dreams vs Goals

    Most of us want something - a raise at work, more savings, less debt, upgrading, or downsizing - but do we do anything to achieve those things? Are we looking at specific ways to accomplish what we want, or do we resign these ideals as impossible hopes and dreams? In this episode, we talk about the differences between dreams and goals to show how having goals can change our lives better than dreams can. Listen, and let us know what you think!

    Biggest Financial Mistakes: Avoidance

    We usually avoid things in order to not deal with them in the moment. We may avoid a friend because they like to have long conversations but we’re in a hurry. We may avoid a highway because there’s a lot of traffic on it. However, avoiding only defers problems – that friend still wants to talk with you, and you still have to hit the road. It’s the same deal with our personal finances. Our responsibility of managing God’s money doesn’t go away just because we avoid thinking about it. So, what should we do? Our recommendations are in this episode. Give it a listen!

    Biggest Financial Mistakes: Ignorance

Fortunately, there is a panacea to financial ignorance – knowledge! Listen to learn more!

    Are Luxuries Wrong?

    Are luxuries something Christians should have? Can we live faithfully while enjoying this life's extravagant or very nice things, or would that be wrong? In this episode, we talk about what a luxury is and some things to consider regarding the question "Are luxuries wrong?". "Am I pursuing a life of luxury or am I pursuing a life of righteousness?"
