Episode Highlights:

[27:08] Understanding Stewardship: The Key to Financial Success and Philanthropy

Many individuals overlook the importance of comprehending their finances and instead solely focus on earning money. Recognizing this issue, Eric set out to assist those who require guidance in this area. By helping people with their finances, he hopes to inspire them to embrace philanthropy and stewardship. Understanding that we are merely stewards of God's assets rather than owners is crucial. Giving back to God rather than keeping everything for ourselves is a paradigm shift that can have a significant impact on people.

[29:26] The Importance of Prioritizing Relationship with God Over Service

God desires more than just our service, as a perfect parent He yearns for a deep relationship with us. Prioritizing this relationship should come before any other pursuits. If that means allowing God to break us of financial struggles or emotional wounds, then so be it. This realization has shifted my focus towards strengthening my vertical relationship with Him first, so that I may use the blessings He gives me to make an impact in the world.

[38:07] Is the Modern-Day Church Fulfilling Its Purpose?

The modern-day church has veered away from its intended purpose, as depicted in the New Testament and Acts of the Apostles. The present-day church lacks the characteristics and qualities that it was meant to embody. Consequently, individuals who are not deeply rooted in their faith may be pushed away by this deviation from the true essence of the church.

[52:38] Embracing Your Journey with God

In our spiritual journey, it's important not to rush through the process. Each lesson and experience, whether as a father or a husband, should be embraced rather than wished away. It is the journey that brings us closer to God, not just the destination. God doesn't require us to save the world or bring love and money to different organizations because He's already taking care of that. What He wants is for us to join Him in this beautiful journey of faith.
