Our business hit an all-time LOW...

Our business hit an all-time LOW...

Author: Bob Lotich, Linda Lotich March 22, 2025 Duration: 7:59

For nine straight years, my business grew consistently. More revenue. More traffic. More impact. Then, suddenly, everything started going backward.

I had no clue what to do. I felt helpless. The numbers were bad—worse than I realized. And I remember thinking: God, did you bring me here just to let it all fall apart?

But what happened next changed everything.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the hardest season of my business—when we were spending $20K a month but only bringing in $11K. I share my raw, unfiltered journal entries from that time and the powerful realization that pulled me out of the pit.

If you're in a season where you're wondering if God is still moving in your life, this 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.

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.
