Welcome to Smells Like Smoke, a bold podcast for those who are tired of safe, comfortable faith. Inspired by Jude 23, this show is about getting close enough to the fire to rescue people, not just talk about it.

Each episode challenges you to trade comfort for courage and distance for action. This is not about winning arguments or playing church. It is about stepping into messy, real-world situations to pull people back from addiction, isolation, shame, and spiritual death.

If your faith never costs you anything and never smells like smoke, you might be standing too far from the fire. Stay close. Rescue is worth the cost.

In the season finale of The Make, Pastor Trevor unpacks why tracking your spending isn’t just financial — it’s formational. Discover how clarity, accountability, and first-fruit generosity can shape spiritual habits, reduce anxiety, and bring lasting peace to your financial life.

Today on The Make, we unpack how to stop letting money own you and let Jesus lead, even when inflation rises and Amazon keeps calling your name. Pastor Trevor DeVage dives deep into practical rhythms of faith and finance: learning to “give first, save second, live on the rest,” creating kingdom margin, practicing contentment, and discovering how true freedom comes from trusting God, not your paycheck. This episode is all about trading consumption for contentment and investing in an eternal ROI that changes lives.
