Success in Marriage. Success as a manager of the money God's entrusted to you. That's what we're after. If you want that too, then you'll love the show. Learn to simplify, automate, multiply & get full control of the money God's entrusted you with. So you can quit stressing about it, pay off debt & get on with your God-given purpose. Oh and we have a different take on money than most financial experts. We aren't going to judge you for your past mistakes and we haven't forgotten the pain of being broke so we can relate. We believe simple always beats complicated. And we believe money isn't the goal, but is simply a tool that can be used to fulfill what God has called us to do. We help you spend less time thinking about money while getting better results. The Seed Time Money podcast is where we (Bob & Linda Lotich) share the mindsets, beliefs and strategies we used to go from being debt-ridden and broke to: - paying off $400k of debt - eliminating all guilt and shame with money - building multiple streams of passive income - honoring God with our finances - learning how to save & invest wisely - having financial unity in our marriage - giving $1 million by ag…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T18:22:14.174059+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seedtime-with-bob-and-linda-lotich-65777"},"episode":{"title":"Faith isn't what you think it is (Bible Study)","slug":"faith-isn-t-what-you-think-it-is-bible-study","published_at":"2025-12-20T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seedtime-with-bob-and-linda-lotich-65777/faith-isn-t-what-you-think-it-is-bible-study","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seedtime-with-bob-and-linda-lotich-65777","url":"https://seedtime.libsyn.com/faith-isnt-what-you-think-it-is-bible-study","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/seedtime/Faith_isnt_what_you_think_it_is_Bible_Study.m4a?dest-id=691991","summary":"Most of us were taught that faith means \"trying really hard to believe\" — especially with our finances. But in the Bible-study-style episode, Bob & Linda unpack Hebrews 11, Romans 10:17, and Jesus' \"abide\" teaching to reveal a surprising truth: 👉 Biblical faith isn't mustered. It's received. And once you see that, anxiety shrinks, striving stops, and finances shift. Join Bob & Linda as they walk through their own misconceptions about faith, why effort-based Christianity wears us out, and how to let God grow real, evidence-bearing faith in your financial life. This one is equal parts devotional, Bible study, and super pracitical conversation. What We Cover Why \"trying harder to have faith\" never works What Hebrews 11 actually teaches about faith as \"evidence\" Linda's family devotions and how teaching Scripture unlocks new revelation The surprising connection between faith, abiding, and legal authority in Scripture How faith grows (and why it's not through willpower) Why community + hearing the Word matters What Noah, Sarah, and Abraham teach us about doing hard things \"by faith\" How to apply faith to money without resorting to wishful thinking Why budgeting, paying bills, and taking small obedient steps are acts of faith How to pray Scripture over your finances when you feel uncertain Key Scriptures (NLT) Hebrews 11:1 — \"Faith shows the reality of what we hope for…\" Romans 10:17 — \"Faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News…\" Psalm 46:10 — \"Be still and know that I am God.\" John 15 — Jesus' teaching on abiding James 1:22 — \"Be doers of the word, not hearers only.\" Memorable Moments \"If faith is evidence, it can't originate from me.\" \"Abiding produces fruit — not effort.\" \"Sometimes the faith God gives you feels like hope… but with legs.\" \"Faith without wor…","meta_description":"Most of us were taught that faith means \"trying really hard to believe\" — especially with our finances.
