    Faith and Financial Freedom: Biblical Stewardship (with Justin Buonomo)

    What if true financial freedom begins not with earning more money, but with changing how we think about it? Money can bring opportunity, security, and freedom. But it can also become a source of shame, fear, guilt, and constant pressure. In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits down with Justin Buonomo, Founder and CEO of Journey to Financial Freedom, to explore how faith, biblical stewardship, financial discipline, and our deeply held beliefs can transform our relationship with money. Drawing from his own experiences of financial hardship and his work helping hundreds of clients through The Good Steward program, Justin shares why financial freedom is about more than wealth accumulation. It is about managing what we have with wisdom, finding peace in our decisions, breaking generational patterns, and building a legacy that reflects our values. Together, we explore the emotional roots of financial struggles, the difference between stewardship and simply pursuing wealth, and why discipline becomes powerful when it flows from gratitude rather than fear. We also discuss the importance of inviting God into financial decisions and understanding that money is a tool for living purposefully, not the ultimate destination. A powerful reminder from Justin: "Delayed obedience is still disobedience." Whether you are struggling financially, building a business, or searching for greater peace and clarity around money, this conversation invites you to examine what financial freedom truly means to you. About Justin Buonomo Justin is a financial coach and the Founder and CEO of Journey to Financial Freedom, where he helps faith-based individuals and entrepreneurs build wealth through biblical wisdom, practical strategy, and intentional stewardship.
