In this episode of Faithfully Invested, Allen and Stacy Jo tackle a bold Kingdom truth:

God is not impressed by big numbers. He is moved by big trust.

Season 6, Episode 5 — Wealthy vs. Willing… Which One Matters to God? — explores how heaven measures generosity very differently than the world does.

Through the widow’s two coins and Zacchaeus’ radical response to Jesus, we see that God does not evaluate the size of the gift first. He looks at the heart behind it.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why willingness matters more than wealth
 • What the widow’s offering teaches about trust
 • How Zacchaeus models repentance and surrender
 • Why God measures obedience, not public impressiveness
 • The difference between worldly metrics and Kingdom metrics
 • How to ask God what “big trust” looks like in your life right now

📖 Scripture References:
 Mark 12:41–44
 Luke 19:1–10
 Psalm 24
 Romans 8

Reflection Questions:
 • What in your life still feels untouchable?
 • Where are you measuring like the world instead of trusting like the Kingdom?
 • What would big trust look like for you right now?

If this episode ministered to you, share it with someone who needs a fresh Kingdom perspective on generosity, surrender, and trust.

When you are faithfully invested, God brings the increase.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (00:00.206)
Hello. Oh, you hurt my ear. And welcome back to Faithfully Invested. It is truly once again with grateful hearts that we get to sit here with you today. I'm Alan and this lovely lady is... I'm Stacey Jo and he's very over the top today. Oh, you know, you gotta be over the top sometimes. Yes, sometimes.

But today's bold truth that we are tossing at you is that God is not impressed by big numbers, but instead he's moved by big trust. Right, let that settle down on your hearts. And while that's settling down on your hearts, this is what we mean by that. Because we live in a world that celebrates size, all the big stuff, the big houses, the big platforms, the big checks.

Big followers. Don't forget in Palm Beach, the big yachts. Big yachts. Big, big, big. But oftentimes, believe it or not, big is not always better. That's right. Did you know that God the Father, creator of all that we see, He measures things.

just a bit differently. All that supersize grandiose nonsense doesn't impress him. That reminds me of a song that don't impress me much. That's a country song. don't impress me much? That song. Well anyhow, here's what we're talking about today. Here's kind of what we're wrestling with today if you will.

You know, do we assume that bigger automatically means better or that? Quiet, do we think sometimes quietly that the size of the gift determines the value of obedience? Because culturally, culturally we applaud big generosity. We do. But biblically, God calls us to surrender. It's not about the size of the gift. It's about.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (02:15.458)
the heart behind the surrender. Yeah, it's all about the heart.

So to that, would say gee whiz Wally. Do you think this talk might be getting little uncomfortable for some people? What do you mean it's not about the big stuff? It's not about the big stuff. I don't get that reference.

Anyway, it wasn't it was okay. But what's G was Wally G was wallets leave it to beaver, you know you're going back to leave it to be even the beaver G was Wally Wally was the big brother, you know, Wally was actually he was Wally was cool man Beaver was you know, he was the beef And then there was you know, everyone Eddie Haskell anyhow, don't get me started on any Anyway goof

Sometimes sometimes But like to be fun right you gotta be fun but

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (03:24.14)
the lie. What about the true believers that they have, we have just a little. The accuser's lie might whisper that what I have, that little that I have, it doesn't matter. But alternatively.

You know, for those who operate from an abundance, the lying accusers who Satan, the enemy of our souls, you know, that's the, he's the accuser. That's what he's referenced that the liar, the father of lies. He whispers that people who operate from abundance, he might whisper to them that their capacity equals their righteousness. Right? So, so both are wrong.

But why, why are both of them wrong? Because God doesn't measure the amount, He gauges from the heart. So He measures His people on their willing hearts. How do we surrender? How do we submit? How do we follow regardless of our circumstances? How do we listen? Do we take time?

to listen, to sit and be still and know that he's got. That's how he measured it. Because how we do that, how we surrender and how we submit, it's all from the heart. Yeah, but I wanna go back because you were talking about the person with the little. And I can remember being a person with little and thinking, how is this little bit gonna even make a difference?

How is what I have to give even going to make a difference in the big scheme of things? And even now, mean, I look, you know, at times and I still, know everything makes a difference, but it's human nature to gauge the amount.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (05:28.778)
against a different amount. It is, it is because we've been programmed. Right. We've been programmed. Our culture has programmed us on the big stuff. Be big, be grandiose. But you know, because I honestly, I always want to give more. Right. But is that what God said? Right. Right.

And that's the point. If you go back to episode one to this very episode, to this day, what we're talking about is what is truth? What is the truth? Which is God's word and what he says? What's his Rhema word? How does the spirit speak to us? That's what we wanna go by.

Right, regardless of what, and we'll move on from this, regardless of what I want, even if I want to give more, regardless of what I want, I want to listen first to what he wants and what he said and how he's directing because that's what matters. And really, the brass tacks of it is that's all that matters. And if we're doing that,

We're golden. Yeah. So let's let's jump into the word with that. I'm all about jumping into the word. All right. Well, head first. But so we're so we're going to go we're going to go straight into the word. We're going to take this to to Mark 12, Chapter 12, verses 41-44. yes, we did mention this passage.

a few weeks ago, it was either, no it wasn't last week. We mentioned a few, this has been mentioned before, but it's a passage so nice that we gotta cover it twice. So Mark records that Jesus sits down opposite of the treasury. And I love that detail, that he sits down, he's just checking out the scene. Go figure, the observing Messiah.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (07:44.986)
And scripture says that many rich people were putting in in large sums to to the public treasury. So let's let's pause here and and note that large sums given in public view is impressive. I mean, it's not like Luke Skywalker battling Darth Vader at the end of an empire strikes back impressive, but.

somewhat impressive nonetheless. sure that was Empire Strikes Back? It was absolutely Empire Strikes Back. All right. Impressive. That's impressive. Anyway, I digress on the Star Wars thing. We gotta have fun with it, right? That's right. Especially when you're talking about money. Yeah. Especially when you're talking about money. gotta throw in some here. But all Star Wars references, impressive Star Wars references aside,

back to the word, the truth, which is not fiction, absolute truth, that here comes the poor widow. And she puts in two small copper coins, which was basically nothing in monetary value. The word says that her contribution, one translation says that it amounted to about a cent. Another translation says it amounted to about a penny. Same thing.

Last I checked, one cent is one penny. Well, one translation says one thing, one says the same. So it was that much. And mind you, here in the 21st century, we just stopped making pennies because they're not worth... They're not even worth a penny. They're not even worth a penny anymore. So seeing this, Jesus calls his disciples over, which means that...

Mark took time to write this down because Jesus took time to call his disciples over, which means this moment mattered. And Jesus says in this moment, that's recorded in Mark, the poor widow has given more than all those who are contributing for they get, they contributed from their abundance, but she out of her poverty has given everything she has. She gave all that she had to live on. She gave more.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (10:04.822)
Yeah, more not equal. Right. He said she contributed more and Jesus just recalibrated the scoreboard as we know it. Because she didn't give from leftovers. She gave from her livelihood. Yeah. That could have meant that, you know, she didn't eat that day. Good. That could have meant that she didn't eat for a week. I mean, we don't know but she gave from her livelihood. And, you know, just

taken that whole picture, Jesus wasn't condemning the wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. He wasn't shaming generosity at all. But he was revealing the measurement because they gave from abundance and she gave from trust and obedience. And that, that is the difference. Right. That is the difference. And that hits deep because most of us, you know, if we're transparent, we

We prefer to give in ways that don't threaten our security. Talked about security last week. Yeah, we talked about security last week. if our perspective on kingdom giving is threatening our security, we would question biblically,

where is your security found? Found in the account or found in God's provision? You can check out last week's episode for that content. But that's the point that the Savior's making in His entire observation. That is why He called over His fellows and He let them see how it's done. He said, come and check this out.

This is what the Father says. This is the Father's way, which is always higher and greater than our way. The widow counter culturally placed her security in God's hands. Are you placing your security in God's hands? She didn't give because she was comfortable. She gave.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (12:18.828)
because she trusted, she gave because she was an elderly Jewish widow who had been giving what she had all of her life because she knew, she had experience, she believed that the Father's Word through the prophet Malachi and she lived in that obedience. Malachi 3, says, bring your whole tithe to the storehouse.

Test me in this. And test me in this, only place in the world. And we covered this a couple of episodes ago. Test me in this, the only place in the Bible that God says test me. Yeah. So let's flip the lens here to as we address the wealthy. And we'll take it to Luke chapter 19, where we see the story of Zacchaeus.

you know, scripture says that Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and he was rich. He wasn't just scraping by. He wasn't average. As Alan would say, Zach was loaded. Loaded. Loaded. With your money. Right. As a tax collector. Right. But, you know, we read in Luke that he climbs the tree to get a better view of Jesus, which culturally for a man of his statue,

statute and stature, I should say, is well, he was a short man. his statute was short. But of his stature in the economy, economic stature, we'll say

That was significantly undignified. Like you would not catch a tax collector climbing a tree. You know, those upper class high society folks back then, they weren't commonly climbing trees. And then we read on and we see that Jesus looks up and he says, Zacchaeus, come down from there for I must stay at your house today. And even as, why do you laugh? I mean, are you picturing Zacchaeus up in the tree?

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (14:28.632)
Get out here, man. Get down. Get down. Right? I remember singing the song when I was a kid. Zacchaeus was a wee little man. A wee little man was he. He climbed up in, I've gotta finish the song now. Climbed up in a sycamore tree for the lord he wanted to see.

And as the savior passed that way, he looked up in the tree and he said, Zacchaeus, you come down from going to your house today. Down. Down. Get down here. Anyhow, I digress. went way back to like, I don't know, kindergarten. That was classic. To my grandma's Sunday school class. Yeah, my grandma was my Sunday school teacher, Unless you're driving, let's give her a round of applause.

Anyhow, but even as the religious authorities were grumbling about Jesus kicking it with the tax collector, know, grace, oddly enough, here is initiated. know, grace was initiated for Zacchaeus, who was taking the money and probably in those days was pocketing some of the money, right? quite, yeah. Because he was quite likely, because he was loaded.

And what happens next is absolute conviction in the presence of God, in the presence of Jesus Christ. Zacchaeus stands up and he declares, Behold Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.

And you'll notice that Jesus say if you defrauded, he didn't say that. Right. Right. didn't say if you did. But but think about what you know what the other tax collectors would have thought about that. We're doomed. Another Star Wars quote. But anyway, but think about what what other people would have said about that, about him giving and returning even fourfold or fold.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (16:44.11)
Four times what he stole from you, he's gonna give it back to you. This isn't hard to miss, but I would still say just take this in, don't miss this. Jesus is nowhere here in Mark's gospel. Jesus doesn't demand a percentage.

Jesus doesn't negotiate repayment. Jesus did not pressure the tax collector, Zacchaeus, Zac, he didn't pressure him into generosity. It was the presence of the God man, Jesus Christ. His presence produced repentance and repentance produced generosity. Zacchaeus,

He didn't give to earn salvation. He gave because salvation had already found him. That's so good. Man, that's a Blammo moment. Yeah, because when you're embracing the presence of God, when you're embracing His presence, don't you want to do the right things? Yeah.

in the presence we must do the right thing. In His presence there's no decision but to do the right thing. And as we're, and that's called, that's a big church word here, it's called sanctification. And the further we go on our faith journey, the Holy Spirit who's with us 24-7, whether you want Him or not, He's with us and He's,

I commonly say when I want to go left, the Holy Spirit's the one saying, we should go right, man, we should probably go right. He's sanctifying us. He's saying, hey, this is the way he used to go, but this is the way we're gonna go now, and we're cool with that, because we're being sanctified, because we're in the presence, and we're allowing ourselves, we're letting him sanctify us, we're yielding to his Spirit,

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (19:05.167)
were yielding to his presence. Zacchaeus yielded to the presence of Jesus Christ. He was excited in the first place. Homeboy climbed a tree to see him and he was so taken with his presence that he's coming up off half his goods and he's paying back what he took fourfold. And that's just what's written.

You know, that's just what recorded. you know, he gave. Transformational generosity. It absolutely is. And that's what he gave because, like I said this before, but he gave because salvation found him. Yeah. And that it, like you said, that that that transformation driven generosity. That's what it looks like. And that.

is what the presence of God. What's happening here is that he has that, just what the presence of God can do with any one of us right here in the 21st century. Even the worst of the worst of us, as his little finite creations, the presence of God can transform any one of us when we let him. Yield. The widow trusted God with survival.

Zacchaeus trusted God with his wealth and his reputation, because I'm sure the other tax collectors were not patting him on the back and saying, good job, Zacchaeus. Good job climbing that tree. Good job given back fourfold to what you what you took. No, because they were they were being convicted in that moment for not doing it. But anyhow, different circumstances, but the same surrender. Right.

And Jesus responds to Zach's moment of repentance, surrender by saying today's salvation has come to his house. And go ahead. Not only was he he was under scrutiny from his fellow tax collectors, which were not well liked among the Jewish community, but he was probably under that was a bold move in a Roman society. Roman rule.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (21:22.368)
He probably was in the eye, he put himself right in the crosshairs of the Romans too. They're like, what are you doing? Exactly. So, and so he defied authority to decide for the authority, right? Found in Christ Jesus our Lord. And that's a paradigm shift. So, you know, that paradigm shifted that day.

not because of again not because of the number not because of how much because she gave little and he gave much right so that is irrelevant but it was all because of the heart right so let's take a moment as we're let's take a moment

and reiterate these pinnacle moments for clarity, just in case you missed it, or in case we haven't been clear, we hope we've been clear, but in case we haven't been clear, the widow's gift was small financially but massive spiritually. And Zacchaeus' gift was large financially but equally massive spiritually. And the common denominator is willingness, a willing heart.

Remember what we said in the beginning, the Lord doesn't look, God the Father doesn't look at the amount, He looks at our heart. The common denominator is the willingness, not wealth, not public perspectives, but willingness. They both, both the widow and the tax collector decided to yield and have it Yahweh.

Dun dun dun, not your way. Yahweh right. And friends I said last night, you know, this last week, not last night. But this principle extends far beyond financials. Yeah. This applies to time. Maybe forgiveness or hospitality, or it could apply to encouragement, leadership. Yeah. And

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (23:29.484)
you know, even serving when no one else sees. All this points back to who we are really. And are we allowing Jesus and the Holy Spirit to mold our character and adjust and transform our identity? You know, how does God measure your level of surrender? Maybe you may feel like what you have to offer is the two small coins. I know I felt like that. In the past, I felt like the widow.

But what can God do with those two small coins? Well, right. Right. Right. He can do a lot. He can do so much more than I could ever do with those two small coins. Right. You know, maybe.

we need to ask ourselves, what am I gonna do with those two small coins in comparison to what God's gonna do with those two small coins? He moves mountains. With two small coins, God can move mountains, because that's what He does. Sometimes we get caught in addition, but He's a God of multiplication. that's good.

He is a god of multiplication. these last couple of times we've sat down to discuss these topics, he just dropped this on me. And I will use this very small organization, it started out small, but because they're doing his work, because Hearts for Moms,

is listening and obeying what God says to do. He is multiplying their financials. He is multiplying their reach. He is multiplying the families who are being transformed by the movement that is Hearts for Moms. And it's out of absolute obedience to His will and way that He's multiplying this. And that's just one of the

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (25:33.775)
many ministries that we like to partner with, Stacy and I, as a family. But he just really dropped Angela and the Hearts for Moms team, because they started out small. They started out with a want, a desire that the Lord had placed on her heart and didn't have much.

to serve single mom. Started from very little to serve single moms and year over year it has grown because of obedience. Right. Of obedience and I just yeah so that's that is a locally here in in Stuart and Martin County and Palm Beach County and in South Florida that's

That's an excellent example of something that we've experienced with the Hearts for Moms team of two small copper coins and watching what God will do with it. He's a God of multiplication, not addition.

Yeah, I love that and I love that you brought that up because you know, I have a heart for that ministry. A huge heart for that ministry and I do sit on the board and I have seen like the exponential growth of Hearts for Moms over the course of the last several years that I've been involved with them and

I see how God is multiplying. And even the smallest of gifts can make the biggest of difference, biggest of differences, if that made sense. It does, because it's kingdom leaders and leadHERs coming together and giving their gifts together. People are listening to what the Lord says and...

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (27:31.15)
And I'll be honest, the last time he told me to give, I'm like, I was like, what you talking about, Willis? And I, but- You call God Willis? Anyway. That was my grandpa's name. Y'all know, you get what I And then after a moment, I'm like, that's what the man, that's what the father said.

And man, there is never regret there. Never regret. And I remembered when we first started loving, absolutely loving Hearts for Moms. But I wasn't in a position to give.

as generously as I wanted to. And we just asked the Lord, Lord, and I asked the Lord as I'm sitting at that table, the first gala I went to, and I was bummed because I couldn't give more, but I had it matured to the place where we are now.

And we're still not to where we want to be. We still don't give as much as we want was, Lord, would you provide so we can give extravagantly? that is what he has done. Year over year, we've been able to give more. Not to any credit of ourselves, but because that's what he said, because we've asked him to give us more so that we can give more. And that.

is entirely biblical. That is kingdom giving. That is kingdom generosity. Way in the weeds here, wanted to share that. Yeah. Take it from there, babe. Well, I was just, I was just gonna say, you know, what are you gonna do with those two copper coins? Right. What are you gonna do with?

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (29:29.996)
you know, maybe you've got more than two copper coins to give, but what are you going to do with it? The point either way is the same. You know, maybe you have capacity, influence and resources. Does he see your heart as surrendered to his will and way? Because, you know, what and then ask yourself, what must you repent of to reach surrender?

Maybe there's something that you need to repent of to be able to surrender that right to him now and people are repent. If you're a new listener, or maybe you're

a new Christ follower and you might not understand what repent means. People get freaked out by repent and we've mentioned this before too. And I know this because I used to get freaked out with repent. But repent simply means to change our mind. we're, we're, we're,

recognition that father we were going this way and now we're walking with you. We're walking behind Jesus. We're following Jesus. We're making that 180 and we're walking that way. All right. So that's all repentant repent is changing our mind. So so back to the topic at hand back to generosity. We've we've said this at the beginning. We said this a couple of times, but one more time for the cheap seats.

In case you missed it, God's not impressed by big numbers. He's moved by our heart. He's moved with how well we trust him, the big trust from our hearts that he transforms when we let him. Because, like we discussed,

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (31:24.202)
He owns everything anyway. Right. Cattle on a thousand hills, right? Psalm 24 says, I have a song for that one too, that I learned in kindergarten. Y'all want to hear that? No, we'll save that for another time. come on, teaser. So anyway, all right, moving on. She digresses it as do I. Psalm 24 says, the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. So.

So your amount doesn't wow Him. So what does? What does wow the Lord? I mean, He's God, creator of all we see. I know the answer to this. I know the answer. What wows Him? What wows Him? Surrender. Wows Him. Yeah, pleases Him at minimum. our surrender. Our surrender hearts.

But no, but can't you see God, like I can just picture God when someone surrenders to him. I can just see his face lighting up and him being like, wow. Well, they say there's a party in heaven every time someone surrenders their life to Christ. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So here's a heart check question for y'all. What in your life do you see as untouchable? What's untouchable? Is it your savings?

Is it your status? Maybe your schedule? comfort, comfort, comfort. We are in America, baby. Or it could be the big other c word control. Yeah. Yeah. Is your control untouchable? Because whatever we refuse to surrender control was huge for me. I still I still struggle with control.

It's a daily release. It's a daily release. It's a daily surrender. must be a daily And I really think when I do, God is saying, wow, she did it again. But whatever it is that we refuse to surrender is where trusting God is still under construction. And listen, we say this gently. We've had those areas. Like I said, control for me, but...

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (33:44.942)
God is saying, will you trust me here? And sometimes we've hesitated. Sometimes I've held onto that control. Sometimes I've held onto that comfort. Sometimes I've held onto that savings. Sometimes I've held onto that time, whatever it was. But that hesitation reveals where we're still learning. And believe us, we have not arrived. We will never arrive.

the side of heaven. We're still learning, we are still climbing, we're still believing wholeheartedly though that he can do all that we could never do for ourselves. Because his ways are so much higher and his plans are so much greater than anything that we could ever have come up with for ourselves. Absolutely, without a doubt there. I said,

years ago in one of the first testimonies I gave of my own volition, of my own thought process, I reached the peak of mediocrity and I was going no further. I was actually starting to decline, but God, but Jesus. So here's your prayer for this week,

Your prayer for this week, in your time of silence and solitude, you are taking time for silence and solitude, right? So it's important. So in that time, ask Him, Lord, where am I measuring like the world instead of trusting like the kingdom? How can I operate in Your economy better?

and then pause and listen, because we gotta, we gotta listen.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (35:40.632)
We gotta take time to get out of the noise and seek His divine perspective and write down His spontaneously creative, whatever He says.

The Holy Spirit speaks with spontaneous creativity while the enemy will condemnation.

and the like, manipulation, ultimatum. If the enemy, if Satan gave Christ, he's like, you do this and I'll give you this. And all the while, Jesus never said when he was being tempted for 40 days, he never said to Satan, he's like, sorry, pal, I already got all this. Anyway, I digress. But my point is, is if Satan,

tempted Christ, if he gave Christ an ultimatum, don't you think that he would give you an ultimatum? Hey, you you do this, I'll give you all this shiny stuff. Don't let the shiny stuff distract you. But also I want to stress too that, that, you know, listen, but don't just listen, but look, you know, look with the eyes of your heart because sometimes he

speaks to you not audibly or not always that still small voice, but he may show you something he may give you a vision, he give you something so be cognitive of of what he is showing. Right? Absolutely. But

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (37:22.914)
But the point is, ask Him and listen and write down His spontaneous creativity. He'll drop it on you. If you're willing to listen, He's willing to speak. We tell our men and ladies in Unbound, He's just waiting on you to have enough faith to ask the question. He's just waiting on you to have enough faith to start the conversation. The Holy Spirit is just waiting to speak with you.

and drop his spontaneous creativity on you and how to operate in the Lord's way by the Lord's truth. and then pose this question to him. Ask him, Lord, what would big trust look like for me right now? Not for someone else, but what's his plan for you?

right now. Just sit listen, write it down. I was gonna say and maybe big trust for you isn't a dollar amount. Maybe it's generosity with forgiveness. Maybe there's someone you need to forgive. Maybe it's generosity with your time.

Maybe there's a different place you need to be spending your time that is for him and not for yourself. Or maybe, and I just go back to social media, you know, I could be spending more time with him than scrolling on social media. So maybe I need to be more generous with my time, you know, as we're talking, sometimes we're talking to ourselves and I'm like, hmm, yeah, that could be it. But maybe it's stepping into obedience that you've delayed.

The widow didn't compare herself to the wealthy. Zacchaeus didn't minimize his capacity. They both just responded to Jesus. And that is the vital key. Listen and respond to him as he meets you and your challenges. Absolutely. And that's what being faithfully invested looks like. Not culturally impressive, not headline-worthy, but surrendered before God.

Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne (39:36.212)
So we encourage you, don't get all tangled up in the world's applause for Mr. Big Stuff. Remember, our Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit, they respond to our obedient response to surrender to them. Surrender to the One. Surrender to the Triune Godhead, who can do more for us than we could ever possibly do for ourselves. So let's focus on that, shall we? Yeah. We shall. We shall.

Indeed. So whether you feel like the widow with the two coins or Zacchaeus with the resources and influence, the question's still the same. Are you willing? It all comes back to a willing heart. It does. Because willingness opens freedom's doors. Friends, we love you and we are praying that your trust for Jesus grows deeper.

than your attachment for anything temporary. Because as you look around, all this is temporary. But we're saving up treasures for heaven. we just encourage you, if this episode ministered to you, if you got something from this episode, share it with someone who needs to...

to see this kingdom recalibration from a kingdom perspective. And don't forget to leave us a five star review so we can keep bringing God's truth straight into your earbuds. Or however you're listening. Right, maybe it's your car radio, who knows. But, well I guess it wouldn't be radio. But anyhow, stay faithfully invested. Because remember when you're faithfully invested, God brings the increase. God bless you and we will.
