242: Things I Will Not Keep Apologizing For — Talking about Money

Money and church: two words that, when placed together, often make people exceedingly uncomfortable. Perhaps this is because of the history of abuse with money within some churches, or perhaps it is because financial well-being is so deeply personal. Regardless, it is a vital topic—one that Jesus spoke about more frequently than almost any other. Why? Because money is the primary competitor for the place in our hearts that ultimately belongs to God. Your heart follows what you treasure, so you want to make sure you put your treasures in the right place. Pastor Adam and Steph confront the discomfort directly, adding that Christians should be the most generous people on the planet and that it would not make sense to apologize for discussing something that Jesus himself talked about so much. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Matthew 6:21, Matthew 6:24, 2 Corinthians 8:9
