In this episode, we’re going deep on a topic the Church either glamorizes or demonizes—but rarely handles biblically: money.

We’re unpacking Exodus, Jesus, and even Tesla stock (yep)—to wrestle through a question that’s been tripping up believers for decades: “Is wealth inherently evil… or is it just a tool?”

Here’s what we found:

• Why the Israelites’ gold became both a golden calf and a golden lampstand
• What Jesus really meant when He said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”
• The shocking contrast between how the Old and New Testament describe wealthy people
• The heart posture that turns a blessing into an idol
• And why generosity, not guilt, is the actual fruit of spiritual maturity

This isn’t financial advice—it’s soul-searching. If you've ever felt tension about having too much… or too little… this episode will give you clarity.
