    Losing $350K Was The Best Thing That Happened To Me

    I lost $350,000 the morning after my wedding. It felt like a gut punch at the time. Looking back, it's one of the best things that ever happened to me, because it exposed a block around money I didn't even know I had. In this episode I break down: How chasing "more" wore the mask of ambition, and how I couldn't see it until I lost almost everythingMy Pastor's question that changed my life: "Do you have money, or does money have you?"Why Genesis 1:28 & Matthew 6:24 aren't in tension: God designed us to multiply, but you can't serve money and God at the same timeThe real root under the greed: chasing security money can never actually give youWhy stewardship has to come before multiplication, and what happens when you skip that orderHow this shift changed the way I manage and multiply money today, including the strategy I've used for the last 5 years If you've ever told yourself your drive was healthy ambition but felt that low-grade anxiety underneath it, this episode is for you.
