69. Why Your Thoughts Are Your Biggest Threat: How to Align Your Mind with God's Truth for Financial Success

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to share insights from my new book, The Money Mandate, focusing on the concept of "dangerous thoughts" and how they impact our financial lives and beyond. As we dive into the episode, I emphasize the importance of our thought life, particularly in the context of finances, and how these thoughts can hinder our ability to align our wallets with the Word of God. I begin by diving into Chapter 7 of my book, which addresses the dangerous thoughts that can sabotage our destiny. I share my personal experiences with trauma and how renewing our minds with the Word of God can help us reframe our responses to life's challenges. I think it will inspire you!
