Is your mindset about money blocking God’s movement in your life?In Part 2 of our Money Talks conversation, we go deeper into the truth about tithing, stewardship, and spiritual transformation. This isn’t just about giving—it’s about alignment, authority, and breaking free from financial bondage.
PD, PDev, and Mike unpack the misconceptions around tithing, why many Christians never walk in financial freedom, and how money is not just a resource—it’s a revealer of your heart. From generational mindsets to biblical mandates, this episode is a challenge to stop avoiding the conversation and start living the principles that lead to freedom.

The difference between giving and returning what belongs to God
Why tithing brings peace, protection, and spiritual authority
How poor stewardship leads to bondage—and how to break out
The psychology of money, and how mindset shapes breakthrough
Why generosity is the beginning of financial renewal
What it means to live “wealthy” and make a Kingdom impact
The dangers of both poverty and prosperity extremes in the Church
How involving God in the financial gap activates His provision
Powerful encouragement and a prayer to take your first step in faith
This episode will shift your thinking and stir your spirit. If you're ready to go from financial fear to Kingdom freedom, this is your moment. Begin tithing now and watch the transformation unfold.
