Can You Get Rich AND Keep God First?

from Youth for Truth · host Qurbana Media

🚨 Can You Get Rich AND Keep Your Faith in Jesus Strong? What if you could chase big money, build real success, and still keep God FIRST? We try to answer the exact question many young Christians are asking: Is it okay to want to be rich? How do you hustle hard without losing your soul? And what does the Bible actually say about wealth? We sit down with two very successful young brothers and have an open and honest discussion about how to stay Christ-centered while aiming to be financially wealthy. 🔥 What You’ll Learn: • How to keep God #1 while grinding for success and financial freedom • Jesus’ real words on riches (Rich Young Ruler + the camel through the eye of a needle explained) • The powerful Zacchaeus story and how one rich guy got right with God • Why generosity, tithing, and giving back is a good formula to staying in check. • True freedom: It’s NOT about what money can buy, it’s about what money can’t control • Balancing big (even “delusional”) dreams with humility, prayer, Mass, and family If you’ve ever felt pulled between chasing success and staying faithful, this conversation will change how you think about money forever.   Youth for Truth Podcast with Fr.
