A Biblical Perspective on Money

A Biblical Perspective on Money

In this episode, Krisan and David John Marotta present a biblical perspective on money. Drawing from Scripture and their extensive experience in financial management, they blend theological insights with practical advice.

In this week’s episode, we explore:

The biblical principle of stewardship, showing how everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him.

How to use financial resources to fulfill the responsibilities and calling God gives us.

The importance of work to meet those responsibilities, with practical encouragement for starting your career.

Common pitfalls like overspending or over-giving, and how to avoid them through balanced planning.

Practical strategies for spending, earning, and saving/investing, including budgeting tips and the power of compound interest.

The virtues of justice, mercy, and faithfulness in handling money contrasted with the sins of pride, greed, and fear.

Ecclesiastes: The spiritual basis for your life plan

At my financial planning firm, we like to challenge our clients to answer the question: What is the money for? The answer that most disappoints me is: “I’m not going to live that long.” That is not a life plan; it is a death plan. If you feel that way, then the book of Ecclesiastes is for you.
