<p>In this hard-hitting installment, Brian Holtz steps into the arena with a spiritual fire, tackling the seven most challenging questions Christians wrestle with about money, from debt and credit cards to generosity, saving, and biblically responsible investing.</p><p>This isn’t a safe conversation. It’s a call to arms for business leaders and believers who dare to take Christ’s commands seriously, even when it stings.</p><p>If you’re ready to trade applause for obedience and comfort for calling, press play and prepare to be confronted—challenged—to align your finances with your faith. </p><p>As Jesus said, <em>“It is more blessed to give than to receive”</em> (Acts 20:35). The question is: Will you listen? Dive in to find out what that really means for your life and leadership.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights:</strong></p><p><strong>02:54 - </strong>&quot;You can&#39;t serve two masters. You can either serve God or you can serve money. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. There&#39;s this really interesting analogy that keeps being built by God, this connection between our wallets and our hearts. That it seems like he believes that if we can get our wallets in the right place, everything else is gonna come with it.&quot;</p><p><strong>09:10 - </strong>&quot;It&#39;s more blessed to give than to receive. If we believe that&#39;s true, if we believe that the scriptures are truthful, they&#39;re inerrant, they&#39;re inspired by the Holy Spirit, what does that mean for us? If it&#39;s more blessed to give than to receive, that means that when I&#39;m generous to my church, to my local nonprofit, to a ministry that&#39;s helping the poor, that gift I give benefits me more than it benefits the receiver. That&#39;s what Jesus himself said.&quot;</p><p><strong>16:04 - </strong>&quot;Once I&#39;ve reached $400,000 in my retirement account, I don&#39;t need to save any more than that. Now, that&#39;s crazy to financial professionals. That&#39;s crazy to the world outside the church. But that&#39;s what the scriptures teach us, that we save with a purpose. And when we&#39;ve fulfilled that purpose, we move on to the next priority. What that allows me to do is what we talked about in question number 4—that means I can take all the extra and I can deploy it to kingdom work now rather than saving it up in some bigger barn so that someday I can do something great. Why don&#39;t I do something great with it now?&quot;</p><p><strong>Connect with Brian Holtz</strong><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-holtz-2728bb53/">LinkedIn</a><br><a href="https://compassfinancialministry.org/leadership-team/">Website</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CompassFinancesGodsWay">Facebook</a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Compasstube1">YouTube</a><br></p><p><br></p>
