Most people think money problems are about income, budgeting, or strategy—but what if the real issue is the foundation underneath it all?

In this first episode of the podcast, I take you back to a season of my life that quietly changed everything. After a personal loss in our family, a simple decision—to start attending church regularly—set off a chain reaction I never expected. It eventually led me to hear Dave Ramsey speak about managing money using biblical principles, and for the first time, finances felt clear, practical, and grounded in truth.

This episode isn’t about hype, hacks, or getting rich quick. It’s about mastering the fundamentals—controlling the controllables, aligning your finances with your values, and building a life rooted in peace instead of pressure.

If you’re tired of financial stress, emotional money decisions, and complexity that never seems to work, this podcast is for you. We’ll talk about leadership, personal finance, mindset, and successful living—all through the lens of timeless principles that actually hold up.

This is the beginning of a journey toward clarity, confidence, and intentional living.

• How biblical principles simplify personal finance
