EP. 157 | Crushed by Debt? How Christian Couples Get Free—God’s Way

Debt doesn’t just drain your bank account—it strains your marriage. In this Finance Series episode, we walk through a biblical, practical path to get out of debt and restore oneness in your finances. We cover Proverbs 22:7 (“the borrower is servant to the lender”), how to build a unified budget and track every purchase, the Debt Snowball vs. Avalanche, why joint accounts + transparency protect trust, and how freedom from debt fuels tithing, generosity, and peace at home.

You’ll hear about:

• What Scripture says about debt—and why it fractures unity
• A simple plan: daily tracking, monthly money meetings, and clear categories
• Debt Snowball basics (start small, build momentum, repeat)
• Mortgage and car wisdom (why leasing often costs more)
• Credit cards: rewards vs. risk—who should/shouldn’t use them
• Communication tools to stop money fights before they start
