We thought our story was set. For 13 years, we gave our age as a percentage of our income. It became who we were. People knew us as that couple. Our mortgage was paid off in 10 months. We wrote books about it. We spoke on stages about it. We shared the miracle everywhere.
And then—God asked us to stop.
This episode is not about numbers. It’s about obedience. About what happens when the thing God once asked you to do becomes an idol. About the courage it takes to release your identity and follow Him into a new season.
Here’s what we cover:
- The story of giving our age, and the miracles we saw.
- Why it was harder to stop than to start.
- How God shifted us from radical giving to radical saving.
- The danger of clinging to formulas instead of clinging to God.
- The system we built from this new season (and why it might change the way you think about money forever).
This isn’t a “how-to.” It’s an invitation. Ask God: What do you have for me now?
