Are You Getting Rich the Wrong Way?

Money is not the enemy—but what it reveals about us can be uncomfortable. In this episode of The Working Word, David reflects on James 5 and its warning to those who build wealth by exploiting others, withholding fair wages, or placing profit above people. Business owners should make money. Leaders should be able to provide for themselves and their families. But success becomes dangerous when growth matters more than goodness, employees are treated like expenses, and wealth begins to control the person who earned it. This episode explores the difficult balance between running a profitable business, paying people fairly, caring for your team, and making sure generosity does not come at the expense of long-term stability. The question is not simply, “How much money do you have?” The better question is: “What does the way you handle money reveal about your character?” The Working Word is where God’s Word meets the workday, presented by James Marketing Company.
