The book we were told not to write


Hey Reader,

Sometimes following God feels like failing.

And a few years ago, we felt that way with our book, Simple Money, Rich Life.

BUT GOD.

I thought the story was over, but God didn't.

In today's episode, we share the behind-the-scenes details of what has happened with this book and many things we've never shared publicly before.

If you have obeyed God and it felt like a failure, I pray this encourages you...

And if you have the book or plan on getting it, I think you'll enjoy the backstory of it as well...

When he heard Jerusalem’s walls were rubble and her gates burned, he sat down and wept. He fasted, and then he prayed one of the most beautiful...

Hey Reader, Praying over my finances has done more for me than budgeting ever has... and I don’t say that lightly. I love the practical stuff: Budgets, spreadsheets, tools, apps, plans, investment strategies. All of that matters. But as much as I believe in practical financial steps... I believe prayer will do more for your finances than any spreadsheet, app, or tool every could. If you’re all in on that idea, I actually wrote a 30-day financial prayer book that I think you'll love. But if...

Reader, I read 100 money books so you don’t have to (I know, you’re welcome ;-) And after all that reading, here’s what I discovered: Most money books overcomplicate things or use guilt to manipulate you Neither approach works. So here are five things you actually need to know about money instead: 1. You don’t need to be a financial expert to win with money. You just need a system. Most financial books give you 47 steps and expect you to execute perfectly. And that’s exactly why most people...
