Are you chasing the wrong results with your money?

It’s easy to get caught in comparison, or in building a certain lifestyle, but those paths often leave us with half-finished plans and unnecessary stress.

In this episode, we’ll uncover why God’s results are different—and better—than our own, and how His wisdom gives us the steps to finish well.

Together, we’ll explore five timeless principles that can bring peace, clarity, and eternal purpose to your financial journey.

In this episode, John discusses:

• Comparison and the pressure to measure success against others
• The tension between lifestyle choices and long-term life purpose
• Aligning financial decisions with God’s eternal results
• Practical wisdom for building a faithful financial foundation

Key Takeaways:

• Spending less than you earn provides a faithful and steady foundation, lowering stress and keeping your financial life sustainable over the long term.
• Avoiding lifestyle debt keeps you from building on shifting sand, freeing you to pursue God’s call without the burden of unnecessary payments.
• Keeping cash on hand for emergencies creates a margin that allows you to weather financial storms while staying rooted in God’s bigger picture.
• Practicing generosity directs your heart toward God’s results, reminding you that giving isn’t extra credit—it’s a centerpiece of faithful stewardship.
• Establishing and following a clear financial plan ensures your good intentions don’t stall out, helping you finish well instead of leaving “half-built towers.”

“When you spend your energy chasing THEIR results, you will rarely finish well in YOUR results, and you will likely exhaust yourself taking steps on a path that was never meant for you.”
