Is God Against Wealth? Should Christians Be Poor?

from Pastors’ Hangover · host Pastors’ Hangover

Is God against wealth? Should Christians embrace poverty to be truly faithful? The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil—but does that mean having money is wrong? In this episode, we wrestle with the tough questions about faith and finances: Is giving 2% the same as giving 10% of the tithe? What does the Bible say about taxes and redistribution of wealth? Will the poor always be among us? Who is supposed to take care of the poor? Let’s get real about the tension between faith, finances, and the fear of getting it wrong. Don’t miss this one!

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
