The Day We Spent Our Last $55 (with Jamie Winship)

The Day We Spent Our Last $55 (with Jamie Winship)

Author: Bob Lotich, Linda Lotich March 15, 2025 Duration: 37:25

Jamie Winship is back. Kind of.  We are sharing pieces of a talk he gave where he shared some powerful insights about how he thinks about money.  We loved them so we wanted to share them with you!

What happens when God takes away everything you thought you needed? What if the greatest financial lesson isn't about making more but trusting more?

In this episode, we explore how God provides in ways we could never predict—whether it's cash mysteriously appearing in a newspaper, a stranger covering a need at just the right moment, or learning the hard lesson that we can't out-give or out-risk God.

We also share our own financial journey—times of abundance, times of struggle, and the unexpected ways God has shown up through it all. If you've ever wrestled with financial insecurity, struggled with trusting God in your provision, or just want to hear some mind-blowing testimonies of faith in action, this episode is for you.

 

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why money can be one of the biggest barriers to truly trusting God

  • How Jamie Winship and his family lived for two years with zero income and saw God provide

  • The sneaky ways financial security can shift our trust away from God

  • The power of childlike faith when it comes to provision

  • Why you can't out-risk or out-give God

  • How to break free from the world's financial norms and live in God's economy

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.

Tune in for honest conversations that blend personal experience with practical strategy, all centered on building a life of purpose and provision.
