About this episode
The episode discusses the dual nature of wealth as a tool and a test, emphasizing its life-giving potential when surrendered to God.
Wealth is both a tool and a test. In Matthew 6:20, Jesus says to store up treasures in heaven, and that changes the way we think about money, possessions, and generosity. On today's Faith & Finance on AFR, Rob West and Randy Alcorn explain why wealth can be dangerous when it owns us—but deeply life-giving when it’s surrendered to God. Then Rob will answer questions on various financial topics.
