Valentine’s Day is everywhere — roses, chocolates, candlelit dinners, and price tags that make you wince. But beneath all the Hallmark sparkle, there’s a deeper question tugging at the heart:

Is money a way to express love … or has it quietly replaced it?

In this episode of The Deep Water Show, Jackie and Christi sit down — construction noise, coffee mugs, and all — to talk honestly about love, money, and the subtle ways the two get tangled. From crab-leg Valentine’s dinners to celebrity tents, from seasons of financial abundance to seasons of having “no two cents to rub together,” they explore what money cando… and what it absolutely cannot.

Together, they reflect on:

  • Why we confuse spending with loving
  • How money becomes transactional instead of relational
  • The danger of letting provision turn into an idol
  • What Scripture says about contentment, trust, and true provision
  • Why some of our most peaceful seasons had nothing to do with wealth

This is a conversation about the Lover of our souls, the God who provides daily manna — not excess, not stockpiles, but enough. Especially fitting as we head into Valentine’s Day, it’s an invitation to examine where we’re placing our trust, our hope, and our sense of worth.

Pull up a chair. Pour the coffee.
Let’s talk about the kind of love money can’t buy.
