    Treasure In Heaven or Earth? | Allen & Stacy Jo

    Send a text In this episode of Faithfully Invested, we explore how your spending habits reveal what you truly worship. This isn’t about guilt or condemnation. It’s about clarity. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21) If that’s true, then your bank statement is more than a financial document — it’s a spiritual mirror. We unpack how modern consumer culture shapes our desires, how money quietly disciples our hearts, and how to realign our spending with our faith. In this episode, we discuss: • Why spending reveals your true priorities  • Flesh vs. Spirit (Romans 8:6) in financial decisions  • Why your bank statement can be a discipleship tool  • The Bank Statement Challenge (needs, wants, worship)  • The 24-hour rule for impulse purchases  • How to intentionally store treasure in heaven Scripture References:  Matthew 6:19–21  Luke 12:34  Romans 8:6  Galatians 5:16–17 Your Action Step This Week: Categorize last month’s spending into needs, wants, and worship.Apply the 24-hour rule to impulse categories.Choose one intentional way to invest in eternity.God is not looking to condemn your spending.  He is looking to free your heart. When you are faithfully invested, God brings the increase. Reviving Recovery: Unbound is now online!

    Tithing Confusion? Here's What Scripture Really Says

    Send a text In this episode of Faithfully Invested with Allen & Stacy Jo, we continue the conversation on biblical stewardship and dive into one of the most debated topics in Christian finances: tithing. Is tithing Old Testament law? Is it still relevant for New Testament believers? Is it a transaction to earn blessing? Or is it something far deeper? The truth is simple but challenging: the tithe is not the finish line. It’s the starting line. Tithing is not about guilt, manipulation, or religious obligation. It is about obedience, trust, and heart transformation. When we tithe, we are not buying God’s favor. We are training our hearts to trust Him more than we trust our paycheck. If you’ve struggled with confusion, resistance, or analysis paralysis around giving, this episode will help you re-center on what Scripture actually teaches and why obedience precedes understanding. In This Episode We Discuss: • Why obedience comes before understanding  • The difference between transaction and transformation  • Why the tithe is training, not a tax  • The danger of using grace as an excuse for disobedience  • Why 10% is the floor, not the ceiling  • How to move from scarcity to trust  • Practical steps to begin or deepen your tithe journey Scripture References: Malachi 3:10  Matthew 23:23  Mark 12:41–44  Proverbs 3:5–6  Romans 8:6  John 10:10 Key Takeaways The tithe is a starting point for spiritual growth.  Obedience creates space for understanding.  God is not a vending machine. He is a faithful provider.  You cannot out-give God.  Generosity begins with surrender, not surplus. Your Next Step Calculate 10% of your income.Be honest about where you are.Commit to starting.Pray:  “God, teach me to trust You with my finances. Transform my heart through obedience.”If this episode challenged or encouraged you, share it with someone who may be wrestling with this topic. And remember:  When you are faithfully invested, God brings the increase.

    Your Finances Are a Theology Issue - Whose Is It Anyway?

    Send a text Is it your money… or God’s? In this episode of Faithfully Invested, Allen and Stacy Jo Thorne tackle the battle between ownership vs stewardship and why the belief “it’s my money” quietly fuels scarcity mindset, stress, control, and hesitation around biblical generosity. Before we talk about tithing, budgeting, or investing, we have to settle the foundational question: Where does wealth come from? Because when we get this wrong, generosity always feels like a loss. But when we get it right, it becomes alignment with God’s will and God’s way. ✅ In this episode, we unpack: Why “it’s my money” is not just a mindset issue, it’s a theology issueHow entitlement leads to anxiety (and how gratitude breaks it)Why scarcity is a trust issue, not a resource issueThe illusion of control and why the Bible calls wealth “uncertain”What changes when you stop being an owner and start being a faithful steward🛠️ 3 practical moves to start living like a steward: Confess the lie: “Lord, I’ve been acting like the owner.”Change your language: “These are resources God entrusted to me.”Practice open-handed giving this week without calculating the cost.📖 Scriptures referenced:  Psalm 24:1 • Deuteronomy 8:17–18 • 1 Timothy 6:17 • Proverbs 3:5–10 🎧 Next episode: Tithing — what it means, if it’s still relevant, and how to do it without feeling like you’re drowning financially. ✨ When you’re Faithfully Invested, He brings the increase.

If you’re exhausted from trying harder—stuck in cycles of control, fear, addiction, anxiety, or spiritual defeat—this episode is a wake-up call: God isn’t interested in behavior modification.

This is about surrender, rebuilding the foundation of your life, and learning to live from victory—not for victory. In this episode: Structural faith: what you’re building your life onThe trap of self-sufficiency and the “throne” of controlThe Holy Spirit: helper, guide, and Spirit of truthConviction vs condemnation and why it mattersAction steps + 7 daily declarations for daily surrenderInvitation to join Reviving Recovery: Unbound (12-week cycles)📌 Next Step: Identify what you’re trying to control and release it to the Holy Spirit—then practice “listen, wait, obey.” Reviving Recovery: Unbound is now online! We worship, we learn, we break out into gender specific groups and we journal with each other and with the Holy Spirit.
