This episode explores what the Bible actually says about debt, challenging the idea that all debt is inherently sinful while still taking Scripture’s warnings about borrowing seriously. The conversation looks at Proverbs 22:7 and Psalm 37:21 to unpack debt, financial responsibility, repayment, and integrity. It also explains why different types of debt should be evaluated differently and how Christians can approach their financial obligations with wisdom, stewardship, and strategy rather than fear, guilt, or shame. The episode ultimately encourages listeners to stop looking backward at past financial mistakes and start asking what faithful stewardship can look like from where they are today.

If you’re ready to imagine—and begin building—the life on the other side of financial stress, this episode is for you.
