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":"Should Christians Give When Their Spouse Disagrees?

What they learned in that painful stretch has become the backbone of how they help couples navigate money disagreements today… especially when one spouse feels called by God to give and the other isn't on board. If you've ever wrestled with: \"What do I do when I feel God nudging me to give — but my spouse isn't there?\" …this episode will minister to you deeply. Together, they unpack four biblical principles for staying unified, honoring God, and discerning His timing — without forcing agreement or abandoning conviction. KEY TOPICS COVERED ✔️ The Lowe's Parking Lot Breakdown Bob shares the raw story of the only moment he thought their marriage might not make it — and how God used that season to refine both of their hearts. ✔️ Why the enemy always pushes \"either/or\" thinking And how God always has a third option you haven't seen yet. ✔️ What to do when you feel called to give… and your spouse doesn't. A practical, grace-filled approach that protects unity and honors conviction. ✔️ The timing principle: when a word from God is real, but not for right now. A simple budgeting tool that can reduce giving conflicts instantly: Using individual \"spending money\" accounts without hiding money. ✔️ How to pray when you're frustrated, angry, or absolutely sure you're right. (With two real prayers Bob & Linda actually use.) SCRIPTURES MENTIONED (NLT) James 1:2–5 — Endurance, wisdom, and the refinement of trials. Romans 8:28 — God working all things for good. Ephesians 5 — Mutual love and honor in marriage. 1 Peter 5:7 — Cast your cares on Him. THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP Set aside one night to pray.
