In this powerful episode of Yahweh’s Money, I sat down with my daughter, Alana Cook, for a candid Gen X vs. Gen Z conversation about faith, finances, and finding your own path.

Together, we explored how different generations approach money, the church, and what it really means to walk in financial freedom while staying spiritually grounded.

Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion:

Faith and Finances Are Deeply Personal

While older generations often tied financial decisions to church traditions like tithing, Gen Z is questioning religious institutions and redefining what it means to honor God with their money.

Financial Literacy for Gen Z Starts at Home

From budgeting to building confidence in spending, teaching our children early builds a solid foundation. Even small habits—like grocery shopping lessons—can shape a lifelong money mindset.

Wealth Gaps Call for New Strategies

With rising costs and limited job opportunities, Gen Z is navigating a very different economic reality. Together, we talked about how faith, resilience, and adaptability are key to creating generational wealth in a broken system.

If you’re parenting a young adult or are one yourself, this episode offers practical insights and biblical money principles for building financial independence and spiritual strength.

Let’s keep having the hard, holy conversations—across generations.
