You’ve heard it a hundred times — “Money is the root of all evil.”

But that’s not what Paul said. And maybe it’s time we stop treating ambition, success, and wealth like dirty words in faith conversations.

In this episode, I look at one of the most misquoted scriptures in the Bible — 1 Timothy 6 — and explore what Paul was really saying to Timothy. Spoiler: it wasn’t “live small.” It was “don’t let what you build own you.”

• Why “the love of money,” not money itself, is the real issue
• The truth about what was happening when Paul wrote this letter to Timothy
• How young Timothy led a church full of wealthy influencers — and why Paul’s warning still hits home today
• A modern example of bold generosity from CEO Dan Price, who cut his million-dollar salary so his employees could thrive
• What A Christmas Carol’s Scrooge can teach us about redemption, generosity, and joy
• A reframing of ambition: how to live bold, build big, and still stay grounded in faith

Open your hand — just once.

Pick one resource you have in abundance — money, time, influence, or space — and use it to lift someone else.

Pay for someone’s meal.

Mentor a friend who can’t afford your time.

Introduce someone to an opportunity.

Don’t confuse playing small with being holy, and don’t confuse wealth with worth.
