    The Biblical Worldview of Saving

    In this episode, we explore The Biblical Worldview of Saving, unpacking why Scripture encourages saving, how much is enough, and when saving can cross the line into hoarding. Drawing from Proverbs and other passages, you’ll learn how God uses even the example of the ant to teach wisdom, preparation, and diligence during times of abundance. We’ll cover the biblical purposes of saving—preparing for emergencies, avoiding debt, providing for family, creating opportunities, and planning for retirement—while also warning against placing trust in wealth instead of God. This episode offers practical starting steps for building the habit of saving and reminds listeners that wise saving is about stewardship, generosity, and faith, not fear or accumulation.

    A Biblical Worldview of Tithing and Giving

    Bob and Shawn examine why generosity is such a central theme in Scripture and why it has quietly faded from many church conversations. Drawing from passages like Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 3:9–10, and Acts 20:35, we explore how tithing is not about obligation, but about trust, worship, and acknowledging God as the true owner of all we have. The discussion also unpacks the deeper purposes of giving—breaking selfishness, meeting real needs, advancing the Gospel, and reflecting the heart of Christ. Listeners are challenged to move beyond a purely cash-based mindset and consider giving through time, talents, assets, and planned generosity, always guided by prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel.
