Description

In this episode, David Sandstrom delves into the biblical wisdom surrounding money and its impact on our health and well-being. He dispels the myth that "money is the root of all evil," explaining that it's the love of money that causes problems. Sandstrom emphasizes the importance of avoiding envy and covetousness, which can lead to idolatry and unnecessary stress. He encourages listeners to live well below their means, adopt a realistic budgeting system, and work towards becoming debt-free, as these practices can bring peace and positively impact their physical, mental, and spiritual health. By aligning their finances with biblical principles, Sandstrom asserts that Christians can remove a significant blocking factor to their health and pursue the abundant life more effectively.
