The $8,000 Lie: Why 'You Get What You Pay For' Contradicts Kingdom Living

We almost missed out on an $8,000 furniture set for just $1,000 — because of one dangerous mindset: “You get what you pay for.”

This episode isn’t really about chairs — it’s about how this deeply ingrained belief system can keep us from receiving what God wants to lavish on us. Grace, provision, salvation — none of them came because we “paid enough.” And if we don’t learn to think differently, we may keep scrolling right past the blessings God has for us.

We dive into:

• The Restoration Hardware deal that exposed this limiting belief

• Why the Kingdom of God doesn’t follow “earthly” formulas

• How to discern between scams and supernatural provision

• The mindset shift that could unlock the next level of your life

• How curiosity (not fear) positions you to receive

 

And yes, we get real about marriage, furniture, and being shrewd with money — all while staying Kingdom-focused.
