Trusting God vs. Failing to Plan — What’s the Difference? | Ep. 32

from Faith-Driven Finance · host Ethan Lang, CFP® and Cody Marintzer | Divine Mercy Radio

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a common misconception in faith and finance: Does trusting God mean avoiding financial planning? Some believe that preparing for the future shows a lack of faith, while others think trusting God means not worrying about money at all. The truth lies in the balance—between detachment from wealth and responsible stewardship. We’ll explore biblical examples, discuss financial responsibility, and break down the difference between surrendering to God’s will and failing to plan wisely.We want your help in shaping the future of this show!
