Can Christians desire abundance, or is that worldly?

Before I knew Jesus, financial success was my security blanket, but after surrendering my life to Christ, God taught me that He alone is my provider and treasure. We are diving into what Scripture says about wealth, stewardship, and keeping our hearts guarded. This conversation offers Christian encouragement for any woman of faith learning how to grow closer to God, embrace spiritual growth for women, and practice authentic Christian living while navigating business goals.

- Why financial success became an idol in my life before knowing Jesus

- The transformation from trusting money to trusting God as my sole security

- Why the Bible does not condemn wealth, but warns against the love of money

- Biblical examples of faithful men and women whom God entrusted with abundance

- How hearing God's voice helps us steward seasons of plenty and lack with open hands

- Why our identity, peace, and security must always remain rooted in Christ alone
