It's the only thing we tell people it's OK to do that I never do.

I went broke in my 20s as I was a baby Christian.

I had just met God, and I discovered in that process a guy teaching what the Bible said about money named Larry Burkett.

And I said, I'm going to follow what the Bible says.

I'm never borrowing money again, and I've never borrowed money again.

I don't borrow money for anything ever for any reason under any circumstances.

Everything else I tell people on the show to do, I do exactly what I say to do.

on allowing people to take out a mortgage without me yelling at them.

It's the only time that my advice is inconsistent with my life.

Does that make sense?

And it's completely, completely fair for you to call me out on it.

And then I'll answer your question.

But I wanted to caveat that and say, I don't borrow money for anything.

And sometimes when I get a question where it's kind of borderline, whether they have to borrow or not, I tell them that story.

I say, Hey, I don't borrow for anything.

And I recommend that that is the best way.

If you follow biblical principles, you're going to in your marriage, your marriage is going to prosper.

If you follow biblical principles, raising your kids, your kids are going to be amazing.

If you follow biblical principles in your mental health and your emotional state, you're going to prosper.

And the same is true in your money and in your leadership.
