72: Faith Over Finances - Trusting God with Your Money with SeedTime's Linda Lotich

SeedTime is a community who views money as a tool to change lives, not the source of our status or security. Therefore, since money is a tool, we are at our best and most effective when we learn (what we were never taught in school) how to manage, grow, spend, and give wisely. In this episode, I interview Linda Lotich of SeedTime. We dive into the concept of the biblical perspective of money and what it truly means to steward money God's way. We talk about shifting from a scarcity mindset to one rooted in trust, prioritizing giving, saving and wise spending, and aligning financial decisions with faith and purpose. This conversation offers practical encouragement for anyone wanting to manage their finances with intention, discipline and a heart that honors God.
