The Bible addresses wealth, possessions, and giving more than almost any other topic, and most of us assume that's because God wants something from us. In this conversation, Eric Fleshood and Katie Brubaker dig into what's actually going on beneath the question. They unpack why generosity feels so personal (and sometimes offensive), the three places in the human heart that money tends to expose, and what Jesus' compassion for the rich young ruler reveals about His real intent. Along the way, they trace the ownership mindset back to the garden, and ask why Jesus never once mentions the tithe in the New Testament. If you've ever wrestled with how much is enough, this episode is for you.","meta_description":"What if the reason Jesus talks about money so often has nothing to do with rules?
