Small choices shape big destinies—and that’s just as true with your money as it is with your faith. In this encore episode, we’re revisiting a powerful truth: every financial decision you make is moving you either closer to God and His purpose or further away. 

Using the Financial Forensics model, we’ll unpack the five essential steps behind every money choice and show how you can navigate decisions with greater wisdom, peace, and purpose.

Let’s lean into faithful stewardship one small step at a time—and watch those steps lead to lasting impact.

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • How everyday financial choices impact long-term outcomes

  • The spiritual significance behind small decisions

  • Understanding the internal process of decision-making

  • Practical steps to align financial choices with faithful stewardship

Key Takeaways:

  • Every financial decision begins with a source—whether seen or unseen—and discerning the true motives behind it helps you respond with greater wisdom and faithfulness.

  • What you allow through your senses shapes your mind and heart, making it crucial to guard what you see, hear, and take in when making financial choices.

  • Training your mind to dwell on truth and excellence prepares you to think clearly and resist worldly patterns that can derail wise stewardship.

  • Since your deepest beliefs and desires live in your heart, nurturing a heart aligned with God’s truth is essential for making faithful financial decisions.

  • By submitting each decision to prayer and seeking God’s direction, you invite His wisdom into your finances and anchor your choices in His purpose for your life. 

“I truly believe that the little financial choices we make every day have the ability to bring us closer to God or closer to the world. That’s why it’s so critical that we choose wisely.”
