## Resource

What should come first: paying off debt or honoring God with your finances? In today’s episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair tackles a question many high-achieving, faith-driven individuals quietly wrestle with: Should you still tithe while carrying student loan debt? With over $1.5 trillion in student loans weighing on Americans, it’s easy to believe generosity should wait until financial freedom arrives. But what if that mindset is holding you back—not just financially, but spiritually? Andrew challenges conventional thinking and offers a deeper perspective on: • Why tithing isn’t about convenience—it’s about obedience • How work, purpose, and giving are deeply connected • The truth about who you’re really indebted to • Why generosity is a discipline that shapes your future not just your finances This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about alignment. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll give later when things are easier,” this conversation will challenge—and potentially transform—that belief. You don’t have to wait until you’re debt-free to live generously. What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for… starts with obedience?
