In this episode of Sound Words, Dr. David W. Jones of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary helps us think biblically about money, work, wealth, and generosity.

We ask:
– What does it mean to honor God with our finances?
– How do we avoid making money an idol?
– Is financial success wrong—or can it glorify Christ when stewarded well?
– What does Scripture teach about helping the poor, giving generously, and making wise financial decisions?

This conversation offers guidance for everyday life—whether you're just trying to pay the bills or wrestling with stewardship, contentment, and the world’s view of success.
