Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success as a Christian Woman

What does a white Ford Fusion with 150,000 miles have to do with your money mindset? Tune in for this lesson on money, idols, and obedience. Welcome to the 2026 Money Matters series! Every April for Financial Literacy Month, we dig into how high-achieving Christian women think about money — the stories we carry, the lids we put on our businesses, and what God's word actually says about wealth, possessions, and stewardship. This episode, we're kicking things off with a deeply personal story — the Mercedes Miracle. In This Episode: The surprising moment that inspired this episode — and what an odometer reading revealed How a luxury car became an idol representing worldly success and self-made identity Why every attempt to get rid of the car failed — and what God was doing in the waiting The Holy Spirit nudge at a networking event that changed everything What Matthew 6:19-24 says about treasure, money, and serving two masters Why even seven and eight-figure earners struggle with money mindset The Parable of the Talents — and whether fear is keeping your gifts from growing Scripture References: Matthew 6:19-24 — Treasures in heaven, the lamp of the body, serving two masters 1 Kings 17 — The widow's oil that never ran out Matthew 25:14-30 — The Parable of the Talents Key Takeaway: Money isn't the issue — it's the pedestal we put it on. When we get our hearts and minds into right alignment with what God wants us to do with money, he doesn't just provide — he multiplies. The question is whether fear, your money story, or the idols you're holding onto are blocking the flow. This Week's Reflection: What are you storing up where moth and rust can destroy? What is the Lord impressing upon you about how you steward what he's given you? This is Part 1 of the 2026 Money Matters series. Stay tuned this month for conversations with three incredible sisters in Christ — including two financial planners and a money coach — who will help you heal your money story through the Holy Spirit. God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual.
