  Telling Your Money Where to Go | 6 Biblical Habits to Spend Money Wisely 05.08.2026 41dk

  Most of us were never taught how to handle money. Not at home, not in school, and for a lot of us, not even in church. But there are over 2,000 verses in the Bible that deal with money, and Jesus said more about it than He did about heaven or hell. In this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, recorded live from the pulpit at Eagle's Nest Church, I preach a message I call a "sermonar," half sermon, half seminar, built on Proverbs 21:20 and one simple idea: if you don't tell your money where to go, you're going to wonder where it went.I walk through 6 biblical habits that will help you take control of your spending and become a wise steward instead of a foolish one, and I get honest about my own money mistakes along the way, including the Mercedes that cost me a million dollars and the morning I slept in instead of meeting Oprah Winfrey before she was famous. Every spending decision is a spiritual decision. Let's learn how to make them wisely.00:00 Faith and Finances Meet00:33 The Series: Money Talks01:23 The Talking Money in the Shoebox03:23 The Dollar That Only Goes to Church04:35 We Weren't Taught This at Home, School, or Church04:58 Proverbs 21:20, Our Anchor Verse05:53 If You Don't Tell It Where to Go, You'll Wonder Where It Went06:43 Every Spending Decision Is a Spiritual Decision08:32 Today Is a Sermonar09:13 Wise People vs Foolish People10:34 The Difference Is Application, Not Knowledge10:58 Stupid People Spend as Fast as They Get It11:48 The Mercedes That Cost Me a Million Dollars13:48 The Morning I Slept In Instead of Meeting Oprah16:13 Financial Success Is 80% Behavior17:41 Why It All Starts With Spending18:43 Habit 1: Stop Comparing Yourself to Others19:47 The Joneses Are Faking and Broke Too23:57 Habit 2: Track Where Your Money Is Going25:59 What Tithing Taught Me About the Other 90%27:01 Habit 3: Spend Less Than You Earn28:50 If Your Upkeep Exceeds Your Income29:18 Build a Spending Plan, Not a Budget30:31 Habit 4: Stop Impulse Spending31:22 Money, Marriage, and Communication32:31 Building Financial Character in Your Kids33:35 The $100 Sneaker Lesson With My Son34:41 Habit 5: Stop Being a Conspicuous Consumer35:07 Are You a Pretender?35:38 Habit 6: Seek Godly Counsel36:00 The Word, the People, and the Peace of God36:58 Paul's Charge to Timothy38:04 You Are the Rich in This Passage39:18 A Season to Sharpen Your Stewardship39:46 Closing PrayerIf something in this message challenged you or gave you a next step, don't just sit on it, do something with it this week.

  3 Ways the Enemy Attacks Your Money 25.07.2026 19dk

  The devil doesn't care if you go to church every Sunday. He doesn't care if you shout, sing in the choir, or post scripture on your stories. But he will fight you tooth and nail over your money. Why? Because if he can control your money, he can control your future. In this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I want to show you something most people have never connected, spiritual warfare doesn't just happen in your prayer closet, it happens in your wallet.Here's my thesis: you cannot build wealth without warfare. The enemy has been running the same three money plays since the beginning of time, and they are still working. We go to Matthew chapter 4, where Satan came at Jesus three different ways in the wilderness, and I'll show you how those exact same three temptations are showing up in your finances right now in 2026.I break down the temptation of instant gratification and why Esau traded his entire inheritance for a bowl of soup, the temptation to impress people and why nearly 4 out of 10 American adults admit to overspending just to impress somebody, and the temptation of material possessions, including the hard truth that not every financial increase comes from God. I also share the story of the Datsun 280Z I almost bought with my NFL signing bonus, and why my parents talking me out of it may have saved my financial future. Plus the 72-hour rule, the "ask the future you" test, and four ways to tell whether a possession is actually a blessing or a temptation in disguise.00:00 The Devil Will Fight You Over Your Money00:25 Spiritual Warfare Happens in Your Wallet01:23 You Can't Build Wealth Without Warfare02:11 Attack 1: The Temptation of Instant Gratification02:38 Jesus Was Hungry and Satan Knew It03:27 Buy Now, Pay Later, Swipe the Card04:13 The Car I Almost Bought With My NFL Bonus04:58 NFL Stood for Not For Long05:34 Esau Traded His Inheritance for Soup06:27 Trading Your Future for a Feeling06:48 Is That Tesla Worth Your Kid's College07:11 The 72-Hour Rule08:02 Ask the Future You Before You Swipe08:37 Attack 2: The Temptation to Impress People09:06 Satan Wanted Jesus to Show Off09:38 Impressing People You Don't Even Know10:14 40% of Adults Overspend to Impress10:44 The Rich Doctors and Financial Peer Pressure11:25 Status Over Strategy, Image Over Income11:52 Where "Keeping Up With the Joneses" Came From12:28 The Joneses Were Broke Too12:41 Contentment Is a Skill You Learn13:38 Focus on Your Assignment, Not Their Highlight Reel14:20 Attack 3: The Temptation of Material Possessions14:46 All This I Will Give You15:21 Satan Can Bless You Too15:42 Four Ways to Tell a Blessing From a Trap16:26 Does It Fuel Your Purpose or Your Ego16:51 Does It Make You Generous or Greedy17:12 Does It Come With Peace or Sorrow17:48 God's Blessings Come Clean18:27 The Enemy Hasn't Changed His Playbook18:45 Jesus Didn't Negotiate, He Said No19:04 Which One Is Attacking You Hardest#TheStewardshipCoach, #LeeJenkins, #SpiritualWarfare, #FaithAndFinance, #Stewardship, #BiblicalFinance, #MoneyTemptation, #DelayedGratification, #FinancialDiscipleship, #Matthew4, #BuildingWealth, #ChristianFinance

  What's In Your Wallet? | The Truth About Giving God's Way 14.07.2026 38dk

  If someone could see your bank statement, would they be able to tell what you actually worship? In this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I take you back to the pulpit at Eagle's Nest Church for a message called What's In Your Wallet. Jesus once sat down across from the temple offering box and watched people give, and what He said about a poor widow with two small coins will flip everything you think you know about money and faith.We walk through the Gospel of Mark chapter 12, break down why the widow's fraction of a penny meant more to God than the large gifts of the rich, and unpack four benefits of generous giving that most people never hear taught in church. I also share the personal story of the $500 gift that nearly broke my budget and the God-orchestrated moment that changed how I've given ever since. This is a foundational message on why you cannot be spiritually free while you are still financially bound.00:00 What Does Your Bank Statement Worship 01:02 Why Talk About Money in Church 02:23 Money Talks: What Your Money Says About You 03:24 You Can't Be Spiritually Free While Financially Bound 04:50 The Two Brothers and the Million-Dollar Eulogy 07:43 What's In Your Wallet 08:52 Jesus Sits Down and Watches the Offering 11:17 The Rich and the Poor Widow 11:41 How Giving Worked in the Temple 13:03 A Quarter of a Penny 14:39 Why Jesus Said She Gave the Most 16:28 She Gave Extravagantly What She Couldn't Afford 17:19 The Rich Tipped God, the Widow Worshipped 19:33 Four Benefits of Giving 20:05 It Is More Blessed to Give Than Receive 22:13 Benefit 1: Giving Draws Your Heart Closer to Jesus 23:43 Where Your Treasure Is, Your Heart Follows 25:16 Your Checkbook Is Your Theological Document 26:41 Benefit 2: Giving Breaks Our Selfish Tendencies 27:20 Growing Up in the Projects 29:04 The $500 the Holy Spirit Told Me to Give 31:07 Giving Remorse and the Devil's Whisper 31:25 The Phone Call That Changed Everything 32:35 Getting Back Double and Learning to Trust 33:03 Benefit 3: Giving Increases Our Material Blessings 34:22 Giving Isn't God Taking, It's God Getting to You 35:42 It Boils Down to a Trust Issue 36:30 Closing Prayer#TheStewardshipCoach #LeeJenkins #WhatsInYourWallet #FaithAndFinance #Stewardship #Generosity #ChristianGiving #Tithing #EaglesNestChurch #BiblicalFinance #FinancialDiscipleship #MarkChapter12

  Making Millions as a Christian w/ Lecrae 04.07.2026 1sa 9dk

  When most people hear the name Lecrae, they think Grammy Awards, hit records, and one of the most recognized voices in Christian hip hop. But on this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I sit down with Lecrae the businessman, the entrepreneur, and the multimillionaire who has had to steward fame, fortune, and everything that comes with it. We get into how he built companies from nothing, the financial moves that almost cost him, and how he kept his faith and his family intact through it all.We cover the public backlash that cost him a huge chunk of his income overnight, the four-legged money lesson that shaped him at 16, the difference between a poverty mentality and a prosperity gospel, the investing mistakes that cost him millions, and what it really means to make, manage, and multiply money God's way. If you have ever wrestled with money and faith pulling in opposite directions, this conversation is for you.00:00 Not the Artist, the Businessman01:33 Welcome to the Stewardship Coach Podcast02:33 Canceled: Speaking Up Cost Him Everything05:02 Did Standing on Conviction Hit Him Financially05:35 The Athlete's Earning Window Mindset07:43 Grew Up Broke: Spender or Hoarder08:57 Treating Music as a Business, Not Just Art09:42 Too Gospel, Too Hip Hop: Forced to Go Independent10:53 A Childhood of Fake Chuck Taylors11:45 The Work Ethic His Mother Instilled12:57 The Four-Legged Money Table He Learned at 1614:12 Acting Was the First Dream14:54 The SMU Neighborhood That Changed His Vision16:08 Why His Family Kept Moving22:12 Finding Faith, Rap, and His Wife at Once25:13 The Eighth-Grade Rap Battle That Proved His Gift28:03 Writing Raps in Comcast Board Meetings29:04 The Advisor Who Told Him to Pursue the Gift30:03 The Layoff That Became His Open Door31:17 Bootstrapping the First Album for $70032:38 Starting Reach Records With No Network36:35 From Selling CDs to Jimmy Fallon36:46 The Raft, the Speedboat, and the Sailboat38:20 Stewardship Is the People Business39:12 Reinvesting Everything Back Into the Company40:33 Faithful With Little, Faithful With Much41:21 The Wife Who Kept Him Grounded42:36 The First Six-Figure Check45:15 Money Doesn't Change You, It Magnifies You45:53 The Generosity He Didn't Know He Had47:24 The Two Wounded Boys Inside Him48:50 Buying a Range Rover for the Wrong Reasons49:38 The Mirror Moment That Scared Him Straight51:16 Mistaking Poverty Theology for Godliness53:18 Defining Prosperity Gospel54:09 Why a Poverty Mentality Felt Noble55:17 Finding the Biblical Balance on Wealth57:09 His Proudest Win and His Costliest Mistake59:04 The Film Investment That Returned Tenfold59:56 Throwing Money Like Seeds and Losing It All01:01:11 The COVID Hit That Nearly Sank Him01:02:23 Millions in the Hole on Atlanta Apartments01:03:18 The Future: Building and Selling Businesses01:04:41 Rapid Fire: Ownership, Bibles, and Freedom01:06:46 Make More Money or Need Less Money01:07:05 Lecrae Asks: Can Pastors Talk About Money01:08:54 Make a Dollar or Make a Disciple#TheStewardshipCoach #LeeJenkins #BusinessCalling #FaithAndFinance #Stewardship #Calling #ChristianEntrepreneur #FaithAndBusiness #DivineAssignment #FinancialDiscipleship #Purpose #KingdomBusinessSUBSCRIBE for weekly content on faith, finances, and stewardship.📖 Learn more at leejenkinsstewardship.com📲 Follow Lee on Instagram: @thestewardshipcoach

  How to Get Out of Debt God’s Way | Biblical Financial Freedom 27.06.2026 36dk

  Debt can feel like a trap, but it does not have to be your future.In this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I share a practical and biblical conversation about getting out of debt, breaking financial bondage, and walking toward real freedom. Debt is more than a financial issue. When too much of your income is obligated to someone else, it can limit your choices, increase stress, and keep you from stewarding your money the way God intended.Using the powerful story of the widow, her sons, and the jars of oil in 2 Kings 4, I explain how God can take what is already in your hand and use it to create a path forward. We talk about the difference between strategic debt and consumer debt, why many people remain stuck in the cycle, and the practical steps you can begin taking to get out.If you are tired of credit card balances, living paycheck to paycheck, making minimum payments, or feeling like your finances control your life, this episode is for you.00:00 Get Out01:06 Why Debt Is So Dangerous01:39 When Debt Becomes Financial Bondage02:38 The Reality of Debt in America05:46 The Widow’s Debt Crisis in 2 Kings 407:34 A Family Left in Financial Trouble10:43 “What Do You Have in Your House?”11:31 God Can Use What You Already Have12:00 The Faith to Take Action14:38 Don’t Think Small About What God Can Do15:31 Sell the Oil and Pay Your Debts16:07 Trusting God With Your Finances17:52 What Debt Really Is18:19 The Biblical Definition of Debt19:38 The Borrower Is Slave to the Lender20:23 Is Debt a Sin?23:08 When Borrowing May Be Strategic24:36 Strategic Debt vs. Consumer Debt26:10 How to Begin Getting Out of Debt26:27 Step 1: Stop Using Debt28:24 Step 2: Systematically Eliminate Existing Debt29:23 Step 3: Establish a Workable Budget30:00 Step 4: Develop Multiple Streams of Income30:56 Step 5: Learn Contentment31:30 Financial Freedom and Spiritual Freedom34:11 A Prayer for Debt Freedom#TheStewardshipCoach #LeeJenkins #GetOutOfDebt #DebtFreeJourney #BiblicalFinance #FaithAndFinance #FinancialFreedom #ChristianMoney #MoneyManagement #PersonalFinance #Stewardship #FinancialDiscipleship #DebtFreedom #ChristianFinancialAdviceSUBSCRIBE for weekly content on faith, finances, and stewardship.📖 Learn more at leejenkinsstewardship.com📲 Follow Lee on Instagram: @thestewardshipcoach
