190 - 3 Tips to Beat the Summer Money Heat - 'Refreshed Replay'

Summer is in full swing—a time filled with sunshine, shifting schedules, and all sorts of new opportunities. But as routines relax and plans pile up, it’s easy for our financial focus to fade without us even realizing it.

In this refreshed replay, we’re returning to a timely and practical conversation that really resonated with the Money Made Faithful community. We’re sharing three scripture-anchored tips to help you stay on track with your finances during the summer months so you can enjoy the season while still honoring your financial goals and your faith.

In this episode, John discusses:

• Three simple, biblical strategies to help you navigate summer money choices with purpose
• Why summer often challenges even the best financial plans—and how to stay grounded
• How aligning your money choices with biblical wisdom brings peace, clarity, and impact

Key Takeaways:

• Recognize how easily summer’s busyness and unpredictability can pull you off track. Building awareness—of your spending habits, current financial standing, and upcoming expenses—is the first step toward staying focused and faithful.
• Set clear, meaningful financial goals that reflect both your immediate needs and your long-term vision. By reviewing and adjusting your budget consistently, you can stay on mission—even when summer throws you a curveball.
• Make every financial decision count by choosing intentionally and resisting the impulse to spend without thought. Budgeting with purpose reflects your values, strengthens your faith journey, and allows you to be a good steward of what God has entrusted to you.
• Let scripture shape your summer decisions. When your financial plans grow from biblical truth, you’ll find yourself navigating this summer season with a sense of alignment, purpose, and gratitude—putting first things first and honoring God along the way.

“Every financial decision, even in the sun and fun of summer, is an opportunity to honor God and steward the blessings that He has given you.”
