SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)
Bob Lotich, Linda Lotich
God’s put a dream on your heart. Don’t let money get in the way.
Learn to simplify, automate, multiply & get full control of the money God’s entrusted you with. So you can quit stressing about it, pay off debt & get on with your God-given purpose.
Oh and we have a different take on money than most financial experts. We aren’t going to judge you for your past mistakes and we haven’t forgotten the pain of being broke so we can relate. We believe simple always beats complicated. And we believe money isn’t the goal, but is simply a tool that can be used to fulfill what God has called us to do.
Success with money. Success in Marriage. Success as a Christian. That’s what we’re after. If you want that too, then you’ll love the show.
We help you spend less time thinking about money while getting better results.
The Seed Time Money podcast is where we (Bob & Linda Lotich) share the mindsets, beliefs and strategies we used to go from being debt-ridden and broke to:
- paying off $400k of debt
- eliminating all guilt and shame with money
- building multiple streams of passive income
- honoring God with our finances
- learning how to save & invest wisely
- having financial unity in our marriage
- giving $1 million by age 40
Occasionally, we interview guests like John Mark Comer, Mark Batterson, Annie F. Downs, Joshua Becker, Jamie Winship, Carlos Whittaker, Crystal Paine, Jordan Raynor, and other Biblically-minded Christian thought leaders as we seek to connect our faith with our personal finances.
And if you like what you hear on the podcast, consider diving deeper with us by grabbing our award-winning book ‘Simple Money, Rich Life’ or take your spouse or church small group through our 6-week on-demand workshop 'True Financial Freedom'.

Learning to trust your spouse financially (a raw and real story of God's redemptive power)
So today's episode was a little bit different. We actually had some good friends over and grabbed a few mics, hit the record button and had a very real and raw conversation about learning to trust your spouse financially. And they shared their story. Kind of how they worked through that and really a lot of awesome things that God did. And so we really enjoyed this conversation and so we hope you enjoy this conversation with some of our good friends, Jamie and Amy Cunningham.
