181 - 3 Encouraging Words for Turbulent Times

In this post-Easter Sunday episode, we’re exploring how to stand firm in faith during seasons of financial turbulence.

Drawing from Ephesians 4, we’ll reflect on a few powerful words that call us to maturity and unity, even when uncertainty tries to shake our confidence.

These verses remind us that we are being equipped, not just for survival, but for spiritual growth and purposeful stewardship.

Join me as we walk through this timely scripture and discover how your financial decisions can reflect peace, wisdom, and faith, right where you are.

In this episode, John discusses:

• Finding clarity and confidence in your financial decisions during uncertain times
• What scripture teaches us about stability, maturity, and wise financial stewardship
• The connection between personal spiritual growth and how we make our money choices
• How small financial habits can align with a greater mission, even in a volatile economy

Key Takeaways:

• “Until” reminds us that our journey toward spiritual and financial maturity takes time, and every faithful step we take today—even in the face of uncertainty—is preparing us for something greater God is building in and through us.
• “So that” helps us shift our perspective from short-term fixes to long-term faithfulness, anchoring our financial decisions in a bigger purpose that brings unity, growth, and peace.
• “Rather” invites us to resist the pull of fear-based reactions and instead respond with intentional choices rooted in love, truth, and a commitment to becoming more like Christ.
• The most meaningful stewardship isn’t measured by dollar amounts, but by the posture of a heart that chooses faith, generosity, and trust—even when the market is shaky, giving may be small, or the future feels unclear.

“Every dollar you manage, every money choice you make, is a discipleship decision. Every financial step you take is a chance to reflect God and His truth and His wisdom, or to be swayed by the fear that is in the world.”
