The Dollar and the Disciple: What Does God Say About Money?

Money is one of the most talked about, argued about, and misunderstood subjects in our world. Some people believe money is the key to happiness. Others believe money itself is the problem. But what does the Bible actually say about wealth, work, debt, saving, giving, and stewardship?

In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, Dustin and Dustin take an honest look at biblical finances and ask the questions many of us wrestle with:

Are we managing God's blessings, or are we being controlled by them?

Is money a tool in our hands, or has it quietly become a master over our hearts?

How do we pursue financial wisdom without falling into greed, fear, or the endless chase for "just a little more"?

From Proverbs and Genesis to Ecclesiastes and the teachings of Jesus, we explore the biblical principles of hard work, patience, preparation, debt, contentment, and the responsibility that comes with everything God allows us to steward.

This isn't an episode about getting rich. It isn't about condemning wealth. It's about understanding ownership — recognizing that everything we have belongs to God, and our calling is not to worship the blessing, but to faithfully serve the One who gives it.

Because money is a powerful tool...

but it is a terrible god.

Join us as we ask the question every disciple has to answer:

Are you pursuing the blessings, or are you pursuing the One who gives them?
