How God Turns Calling Into Provision: Lessons From Solomon

15 Nov 2025

Description

This episode tackles the mental barrier Nathan calls “spiritual religion” – the idea that the Bible is only for “heavenly” or non-material things and not for real-world issues like money, business, and vocation. He argues that this false divide between spirit and matter is a satanic lie that keeps Christians poor and ineffective, because it separates God’s Word and God’s World. Using Solomon as the central example, Nathan shows that God used very practical means to connect Solomon’s God-given wisdom to extraordinary wealth—not as a prosperity gimmick, but as hope grounded in Scripture for men who want to provide for a wife, a family, and a home even in an uncertain economy. Nathan then walks through 1 Kings 10 and Solomon’s broader story: Solomon sought God-centered wisdom for his specific calling as king, wrote and published thousands of proverbs and songs (the “social media” of his day), and became a magnet for rulers like the Queen of Sheba, who traveled far with immense wealth because she believed his answers could save her kingdom. From this, Nathan urges Christian men to ask God for wisdom in their own vocation (rancher, mechanic, teacher, builder, etc.), to meditate deeply on Scripture, and to generously share their hard-won insights with their peers instead of hiding them. Over time, faithfully serving others with God’s wisdom in your field attracts serious people willing to pay for real help—building wealth “little by little” in a way that honours Christ, embraces long-term growth, and refuses the lie that the Bible has nothing to say about business and money.
