In this episode, we’re wrapping up our three-part series on the core questions of financial stewardship with the third and final question: Whose plan are you in? 

We’ll dive deep into the competing plans that vie for our attention—whether it’s the world’s relentless drive for more, a self-focused agenda, or God’s eternal plan. 

Join me as we explore how aligning with God’s plan leads to true peace, purpose, and faithful stewardship in all areas of life. 

 

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • The importance of a plan

  • The different plans people follow

  • Influence of external pressures on financial decisions and direction

  • Aligning financial stewardship with faith-based principles

 

Key Takeaways:

  • The “world’s plan” focuses on accumulating more through constant consumption, driven by advertising and societal pressure, but often leaves individuals feeling unfulfilled, stressed, and endlessly striving for more.

  • Many people unknowingly follow financial plans influenced by external factors like family expectations or societal norms, leading them to make decisions by default rather than with purpose and passion.

  • God’s financial plan emphasizes using resources wisely to reflect His character, focusing on love, generosity, and eternal impact, which brings a sense of peace, contentment, and alignment with faith-driven values.

  • Without a clear and intentional financial plan, you can easily become part of someone else’s agenda, leading to decisions that conflict with your values and goals, creating internal tension and dissatisfaction.

“God has a plan for your life and your family. It is a plan that reflects His unchanging character and your best life. Unlike the world’s fleeting promises or a self-focused plan, God’s plan is always true, always works, and always leads to peace.”
