This startling disconnect reveals a profound truth: decisions without discipleship don't last. The stadium model of Christianity—emotional experiences, massive gatherings, celebrity preachers—creates powerful moments but rarely sustains transformat...

Your Earliest Money Memory Is Still Running Your Life

Send us a text Your biggest financial block isn't the economy or market conditions—it's the script you were handed about money before you could even spell it.

Most of us didn't choose our money story—we inherited it. And unless we consciously examine and rewrite that programm...
