Fren, I can’t believe it’s already been a year since the Holy Spirit first led me into a season of contentment and self-discipline. What started as a simple goal to pay off debt turned into something much deeper — a lesson in stewardship, gratitude, and learning to trust God with both little and much.

In this episode, I’m sharing the ups, the challenges, and the revelations I’ve had while walking through my “delayed gratification era.” From paying off credit cards to facing down old habits of overspending and overindulging, I’ve seen God use every step of this process to remind me that joy doesn’t come from what I can buy — it comes from Him.

This conversation isn’t about budgets or numbers. It’s about contentment. It’s about choosing discipline as an act of worship, and learning how to live with a no matter what kind of faith.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why the Holy Spirit convicted me to change my relationship with money and “more”
  • How childhood habits shaped my view of consumption and security
  • What happened when moths literally crept into our pantry — and what God showed me through it
  • The difference between chasing temporary satisfaction and seeking an eternal crown
  • How practicing contentment prepares us for uncertain seasons ahead

Scriptures to Meditate On:

  • 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 — Run in such a way as to get the prize.
  • Philippians 4:10–13 — I have learned the secret of being content in every situation.
  • Habakkuk 3:17–19 — Though the fig tree does not bud… yet I will rejoice in the Lord.
