#30: Prosperity Gospel

In this episode of "Take Your Mountain," hosts Jason Weimer and Mick Pickett discuss the concept of the "prosperity gospel". They explore its modern, often derogatory use, contrasting it with what they believe is Jesus's true gospel, which they call the "prosperity gospel" in its healthiest sense. The hosts emphasize that money and stewardship were frequent topics in Jesus's parables, highlighting the importance of proper alignment where God is first and money is a tool, not a master.

The conversation then shifts to the idea of a "wealth transfer" and how to approach it with a healthy perspective. They discuss the biblical precedent of the Israelites leaving Egypt with wealth and relate this to a modern-day "second exodus" and the potential for Christians to be entrusted with significant resources. They touch on the role of technology, such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, in restoring integrity to financial systems and potentially leading to a massive transfer of wealth to "caring, loving" people.

Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the importance of seeking God's will and purpose above all else. They use the analogy of a "spiritual balance sheet" and a "physical balance sheet" to illustrate that earthly resources should be used to build spiritual wealth. They also discuss the need for an "open-handed" mentality and the danger of hoarding resources out of fear. The hosts conclude by highlighting the importance of individual discernment and trusting God's unique plan for each person in this season of potential abundance and change.
