Ever wonder what your money habits might be revealing about your heart? We’re having a real, honest conversation about contentment, generosity, and the quiet things that compete for our trust. It’s relaxed, unfiltered, and might hit closer to home than you expect.

This week in Seeds & Sowers, Matt is bringing a message that challenges the way we think about money, worship, and what we’re really living for. What if our resistance to generosity isn’t about our finances at all, but about what rules our hearts? Jesus didn’t come to take something from you, He came to give you something better. If you’ve ever felt tension when the church talks about money, you don’t want to miss this.

What if generosity is not a moment, but something cultivated over time?

If you are longing for steadiness, purpose, and a faith that lasts beyond the moment, this message is for you.
