    Seeking Wise Counsel: Biblical Financial Discipleship with an Eternal Perspective

    This teaching concludes a seven-part series on biblical financial discipleship, emphasizing that while God owns everything, believers must seek wise counsel and maintain an eternal perspective in managing finances. The core message stresses that money is merely a tool to glorify God, not an object of worship. True wealth is found in the Lord Jesus Christ, and financial decisions should be made through prayer, biblical wisdom, and consultation with mature believers. The teaching emphasizes that whether believers have abundance or little, they can rejoice in Christ's sufficiency. Financial stewardship extends beyond material wealth to include leaving a legacy of faith, values, and practical skills to future generations. The session challenges the cultural narrative of individualistic "hustle" mentality, instead promoting community, accountability, and humble dependence on God's provision. Key Points: God is the ultimate owner of all resources, and believers are stewards, not ownersSeek wise counsel before making financial decisions, avoiding the "lone wolf" mentalityMoney itself is not evil; the love of money is the root of all kinds of evilTrue riches include salvation, relationships, faith, and values—not just material wealthFinancial decisions should align with biblical principles and be supported by scriptureDistinguish between needs and wants to find contentment and financial freedomLeave an inheritance that includes faith, values, skills, and wisdom—not just moneyWork should be viewed as worship, done for God's glory regardless of occupationHumility and transparency are essential when seeking and giving counselRejoice in God's provision whether in abundance or scarcityScripture Reference: Proverbs 15:22 - "Without counsel, plans go awry. But in the multitude of counselors, they are established."Philippians 4:19 - "And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."1 Timothy 6:10 - "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."Colossians 3:23 - Working as unto the LordColossians 3:17 - "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus"1 Corinthians 10:31 - "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."Romans 1 - Moral culpability and knowledge of good and evil through creationSupport Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here

    Working Diligently and Honestly: Serving Christ Through Our Labor

    This teaching emphasizes that work is a pre-fall good given by God, not a curse, and should be approached as worship unto the Lord rather than merely earning a paycheck. The discussion explores how believers should view their labor—whether in traditional jobs or personal pursuits—as opportunities for sanctification and glorifying God. The speakers stress that all honest labor leads to profit and that consistency in diligent work, done with integrity and unto Christ, transforms not only individuals but families and communities. The message challenges listeners to reject limiting beliefs about work and income, instead pursuing what they love while maintaining ethical standards rooted in relationship with God. Work becomes a means of serving others, providing for needs, and avoiding becoming a burden, all while understanding that obstacles and difficulties in work are part of God's sanctifying process. Key Points: Work is a pre-fall good that existed before sin entered the world, making it inherently good regardless of salvation statusThe distinction between viewing work as a negative obligation versus understanding it as worship unto God (Colossians 3:23)All labor leads to profit when done diligently and honestly, regardless of how low one might esteem the jobTo whom much is given, much is required—abundance comes with greater responsibility and requirementsBelievers should pursue what they love and figure out how to get paid for it, rather than chasing arbitrary income goalsIdle chatter and excuses lead to poverty, while putting one foot in front of the other leads to profitWork provides opportunities for sanctification as believers encounter obstacles, friction, and problemsThe importance of working honestly without deception, manipulation, or being a busybody concerned with others' affairsConsistency over time compounds—we overestimate what we can accomplish short-term but underestimate what diligence achieves long-termFamily involvement in productive activities (like running together) exemplifies honoring God through daily actionsScripture Reference: Colossians 3:23 - "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters"1 Corinthians 10:31 - "Whether you eat or drink, do all things to the glory of God"Romans 8:28 - "For those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose"Proverbs 14:23 - "In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty"2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 - "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat... work in quietness and eat their own bread"Luke 12:48 - "To whom much is given, much is required"Stories: Aswan's personal testimony of hearing Colossians 3:23 seven years ago while working two part-time jobs and sleeping in a gym, which transformed his life and led to becoming a six-time published authorThe story of Brian Cashman (Yankees GM) asking for a one-year contract to prove he was good enough for the job before demanding long-term compensationAswan's experience at a 5K race encountering a family (mother, father, and son) who ran together and then went to a baseball game, exemplifying family worship through active livingAaron's personal story of having a chaotic week with soccer tournaments, Memorial Day ceremonies, family obligations, and teaching responsibilities, then refocusing on consistency and family worshipThe observation that sports figures like Ray Lewis and Tom Brady started doing what they loved at seven years old but didn't get paid until their twentiesSupport Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here

    Invest Faithfully and Productively

    This powerful lesson on investing faithfully challenges us to rethink what it means to be stewards of God's resources. At the heart of this teaching is Jesus's Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25, which reveals a profound truth: God has entrusted each of us with gifts, abilities, time, and resources—not for our own glory, but to advance His kingdom. The faithful servants who doubled their master's money weren't praised for the amount they earned, but for their faithfulness in putting what they had to work. This distinction is crucial. Whether we've been given five talents or two, the reward is the same: 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' What matters isn't the size of our portfolio or the impressiveness of our career, but whether we're investing everything—our vocations, our families, our daily work—into eternal purposes. The wicked servant's failure wasn't just laziness; it was fear masquerading as caution. How often do we bury our talents in the ground, afraid of failure or rejection, when God is calling us to step out in faith? This lesson also beautifully connects to Proverbs 13:22, reminding us that a good person leaves an inheritance to their children's children—but that inheritance isn't just money. It's faith, wisdom, character, and a legacy of kingdom investment. When we think eternally, our priorities shift from accumulation to multiplication for God's glory. Key Points: All resources—time, talents, gifts, and money—belong to God; we are merely stewards entrusted with His possessionsFaithful stewardship is more important than the size of the return; both the five-talent and two-talent servants received the same commendationInvestment should be strategic and kingdom-minded, asking "What can I do today that will impact my children's children?"Leaving an inheritance includes both positive legacies (faith, wisdom, financial security) and negative ones (debt, sin patterns)Fear and laziness are closely connected and prevent faithful stewardshipAny vocation can glorify God when done faithfully—work doesn't need to be "ministry" to honor ChristPractical financial wisdom includes using employer 401k matches, obtaining life insurance to protect family from debt, and avoiding accumulation of debt that burdens loved onesThe eternal perspective should shape present investments—focus on what will matter in eternity rather than temporary wealth accumulationReligion becomes dry when reduced to mere ritual; true faith involves active trust and obedience to GodScripture Reference: Matthew 25:14-30 (Parable of the Talents)Proverbs 13:22 ("A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous")1 Chronicles (reference to inheritance in the Promised Land)Colossians 3:23 (Working unto God, not unto man)Ephesians 6:4 (Raising children in the nurture and discipline of the Lord)Romans 1 (Natural knowledge of God and moral accountability) Support Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here

    Remove Debt And Build Savings – Freedom Found in Christ

    This powerful teaching on financial discipleship confronts us with a profound biblical truth: debt enslaves us, but Christ sets us free. Drawing from Proverbs 22:7, we're reminded that the borrower becomes servant to the lender—a reality many of us experience through student loans, credit cards, and mortgages. The lesson challenges us to shift our mindset from ownership to stewardship, recognizing that everything we have belongs to God. When we truly grasp that our money, time, and possessions are gifts from the Lord, our spending habits transform dramatically. The wisdom of the ant in Proverbs 6 teaches us about diligent saving and planning ahead, storing resources during times of plenty to sustain us through seasons of scarcity. This isn't just financial advice—it's spiritual warfare against the instant gratification culture that keeps us trapped in cycles of debt. By implementing the simple principle of giving 10%, saving 10%, and living on the remaining 80%, we position ourselves to break generational curses and build lasting legacies. The journey from debt to freedom requires one person willing to make different choices, to say no to temporary pleasures in pursuit of eternal impact.

    Spending Wisely: A Kingdom Approach to Financial Stewardship

    This powerful lesson on financial discipleship challenges us to examine the heart behind our spending habits. Drawing from Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus, we're reminded that spending wisely isn't just about budgeting—it's about recognizing that God owns everything we have. The scripture emphasizes that 'the plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty' (Proverbs 21:5). This isn't merely financial advice; it's spiritual wisdom that calls us to slow down, count the cost, and think generationally rather than impulsively. The lesson beautifully connects Jesus's teaching about counting the cost before building a tower to our everyday financial decisions. When we understand that we're stewards rather than owners, our entire perspective shifts. We're no longer driven by comparison or the need to 'keep up' with others, but by contentment in Christ. The practical tool of a zero-balance budget becomes more than a spreadsheet—it becomes a spiritual discipline that trains us in faithfulness with what God has entrusted to us. This wisdom applies not just to money, but to how we spend our time, talents, and energy, all for God's glory. Meet with Aswand:  https://calendly.com/moveswiftly44/new-meeting?month=2026-04 Key Points: God owns everything; we are merely stewards of His resourcesSpending wisely is a spiritual discipline that reflects our relationship with GodThe number one cause of debt in America is medical expenses, highlighting the need for emergency savingsA zero-balance budget is a tool of stewardship that glorifies Christ by preventing waste and enabling generosityHasty financial decisions lead to poverty, while diligent planning leads to plentyCount the cost before beginning any financial endeavor, just as one would before building a towerLiving within your means requires distinguishing between needs and wantsTithing (giving) should come first, followed by saving, then spendingThink generationally - consider leaving an inheritance to your children's childrenThe love of money, not money itself, is the root of evilWealthy individuals often live off only 30% of their income, demonstrating wise stewardshipFinancial wisdom comes from being steeped in God's Word and accepting correctionA paid-off house provides financial freedom and securityCouples should work together on budgeting and financial planningScripture Reference: Proverbs 3:9 - "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops"Hebrews 13:5 - "Let your conduct be without covetousness. Be content with such things as you have"Proverbs 21 - "The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty"Proverbs 21:20 - "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down"Luke 14:28 - "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost"Proverbs 22:7 - "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender"1 Timothy 6:10 - "For the love of money is the root of all evil"Proverbs 9:10 - "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"Proverbs 27:23 - "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks"1 Corinthians 10:31 - "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God"Support Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here

    Give First and Generously – Worshiping Christ Through Cheerful Generosity

    This powerful exploration of biblical stewardship challenges us to fundamentally rethink our relationship with money and material blessings. At its heart lies a simple yet profound principle: giving before receiving. We discover that this isn't merely a religious obligation, but a cosmic truth woven into the very fabric of creation itself. From Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek in Genesis 14, through the Mosaic law, Solomon's wisdom in Proverbs 3:9-10, and Malachi's direct challenge to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, Scripture consistently teaches that our first response to God's blessing should be gratitude expressed through giving. What makes this message so transformative is the recognition that we're not actually giving away 'our' money—we're acknowledging that everything belongs to God in the first place. He is the creator, sustainer, and redeemer. Every breath we take, every dollar we earn, every opportunity we receive flows from His gracious hand. When we tithe, we're not paying God back; we're declaring our trust that He, not our bank account, is our true source of security. This shift from scarcity thinking to abundance mindset liberates us from the crushing weight of trying to be our own god, our own provider, our own savior. The journey isn't easy—it requires inner work, faith development, and the courage to let go of control—but it opens the door to experiencing God's faithfulness in ways we never imagined possible. Key Points: Tithing is a pre-law principle established by Abraham before Moses, demonstrating it's rooted in covenant relationship rather than legalistic obligationThe principle of "giving before getting" is woven throughout creation itself and applies to all areas of life including relationships, fitness, and financesTeaching children early about giving, saving, and spending wisely establishes a healthy relationship with money as a tool rather than an idolTithing removes the burden of trying to be God in our own lives by acknowledging Him as the ultimate provider and sustainerThe love of money, not money itself, is the root of evil; proper stewardship glorifies GodGiving should flow from a grateful heart recognizing God's blessings, not from leftovers or obligationJesus affirmed tithing while emphasizing that the heart attitude matters more than mechanical complianceCommon grace allows even secular successful people to understand and benefit from the principle of giving before receivingWhen we give faithfully, God provides ideas, connections, and opportunities beyond just financial returnTithing to a local church supports kingdom expansion and pastoral care for the congregationScripture Reference: Genesis 14 - Abraham's tithe to MelchizedekGenesis 28 - Jacob's vow at BethelLeviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy - Mosaic law on tithingProverbs 3:9-10 - Honor the Lord with the firstfruits of your wealthMalachi 3:8-10 - Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse; test God in thisMatthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42 - Jesus rebukes Pharisees for tithing without justice, mercy, and faithfulnessMatthew 28:18-20 - Jesus' authority over heaven and earth2 Corinthians 9:6-7 - Whoever sows sparingly reaps sparingly; God loves a cheerful giverActs 2, 4, 11 - Early church practices of generosityReferences to widow's offering and ZacchaeusSupport Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here

    Recognize God Owns It All - A Financial Discipleship Lesson with Aswand Cruickshank and Aaron Guyett

    Recognize God Owns It All – We Are Stewards by Faith in Our Triune God Everything belongs to God; we are simply stewards of His resources. Faith in the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ frees us from the illusion of ownership and calls us to handle money in a way that glorifies the One who gave us life and salvation.  Because God has created us, sustains us in being, and has chosen to redeem us by His grace, we must faithfully pursue His commands in our wise stewardship of His financial blessings. Key verses: Psalm 24:1 - The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it. 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 - Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth; Yours is the dominion, Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. Matthew 25:14-30 (Parable of the Talents) - 14 “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 16 The one who had received the five talents immediately went and did business with them, and earned five more talents. 17 In the same way the one who had received the two talents earned two more. 18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money. 19 “Now after a long time the master of those slaves *came and *settled accounts with them. 20 The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have earned five more talents.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’ 22 “Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have earned two more talents.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’ 24 “Now the one who had received the one talent also came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed. 25 And I was afraid, so I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you still have what is yours.’ 26 “But his master answered and said to him, ‘You worthless, lazy slave! Did you know that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter seed? 27 Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. 28 Therefore: take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’ 29 “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 30 And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Application: Count the blessings of the Lord in your life: Pray that the Lord of heaven and eart Support Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Support the show Help Support Our Podcast and Projects Here
