Does God Care about your finances?

Does God Care about your finances?

Author: Bob Lotich, Linda Lotich March 1, 2025 Duration: 19:30

Does God actually care about your money?  At first, it might seem like a purely earthly issue—like choosing the right toothpaste. But when you dig into scripture, you'll find that money is one of the most talked-about topics in the Bible.

Why? Because it's deeply connected to our hearts, our trust, and our faith.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why God isn't obsessed with money—but cares deeply about YOU.

  • How finances can be the #1 thing pulling your heart away from God (and how to guard against it).

  • Why financial struggles can feel like punishment—but are often preparation.

  • How to find TRUE financial freedom (Hint: It's not about Lambos or early retirement).

  • The mindset shift that will transform how you view financial ups & downs.

  • Powerful testimonies of God's provision when everything seemed lost.

We also share personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement for anyone wrestling with finances and faith. Whether you're in a tough spot right now or just want to align your financial life with God's heart, this episode is for you.

What does it look like to manage money well when your faith is the foundation of your life? That’s the central question explored in SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich. This isn't just another financial advice show; it's a conversation about integrating biblical principles with the practical realities of budgeting, investing, and building a secure future. Bob and Linda approach finances from a unique perspective, one that challenges conventional wisdom by framing stewardship as a spiritual practice. Their discussions move beyond spreadsheets to consider how financial health directly impacts your marriage, your sense of purpose, and your ability to live generously. Each episode aims to provide actionable steps to simplify your finances, eliminate debt, and cultivate a sense of peace and control over the resources you've been given. The goal is to shift your focus from anxiety about money towards freedom, allowing you to invest your time and energy into what truly matters. If you've ever felt that typical money advice misses the heart of the matter, this podcast offers a different path-one where faith and finances are seamlessly connected. Tune in for honest conversations that blend personal experience with practical strategy, all centered on building a life of purpose and provision.
