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":"Why Your Stuff Might Be Blocking Your Blessings (with Joshua Becker)","slug":"why-your-stuff-might-be-blocking-your-blessings-with-joshua-becker","published_at":"2026-02-13T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seedtime-with-bob-and-linda-lotich-65777/why-your-stuff-might-be-blocking-your-blessings-with-joshua-becker","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seedtime-with-bob-and-linda-lotich-65777","url":"https://seedtime.libsyn.com/why-your-stuff-might-be-blocking-your-blessings-with-joshua-becker","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/seedtime/Why_Your_Stuff_Might_Be_Blocking_Your_Blessings_with_Joshua_Becker_-_go_live_of_Feb_10th_week.m4a?dest-id=691991","summary":"Most Christians agree that materialism is bad … but few of us have ever connected the clutter in our garages to the condition of our hearts. In this episode, Bob sits down with Joshua Becker (author of Uncluttered Faith and founder of BecomingMinimalist.com) to explore a provocative idea: what if consumerism isn't just a money issue—but a spiritual one? Joshua makes the case that the things we own—and the things we want —may be quietly choking out our fruitfulness, distracting us from God's best, and stealing time, energy, and joy we didn't realize we were losing. And yes… we even ask the question: Is your Amazon cart spiritual warfare? In this conversation, you'll discover: Why Jesus said riches, pleasures, and worries choke out spiritual fruit—and why that sounds a lot like modern America The difference between owning less and wanting less (and why the second one matters more) Why abundance in the Bible doesn't mean \"more stuff\" How clutter quietly costs you time, attention, peace, and generosity The surprising connection between minimalism and discipleship Why getting rid of \"just a few towels\" actually can change your life How to take a realistic first step—without living out of a backpack Joshua also reframes some of the most well-known verses in Scripture, showing how deeply Jesus tied our spiritual lives to our relationship with money and possessions—and how freedom often starts with subtraction, not addition. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your stuff, confused about God's promises of abundance, or stuck chasing things that never quite satisfy, this episode may change how you see everything you own.
