Know the Condition of Your Flocks: Demystifying Wealth Creation for Pastors
Mar 13, 2025 Episode 81

Does the idea of increasing your income ever make you feel uneasy, conflicted, or even guilty? What if, instead, you saw it as an act of faith, stewardship, and obedience to God’s calling?

Today we’re going to demystify wealth creation for pastors by exploring King Solomon’s wisdom to “Know the condition of your flocks,” found in Proverbs 27:23-27.

What does this ancient principle mean for pastors and churches today? We’ll discuss it in this episode of the More Than a Pastor Show. Let's get started.
