SeedTime Money (Christian living & Personal Finances)

When we started getting our finances in order I thought that once we had everything together, there'd never be any financial obstacles again. But it just doesn't work like that. If you're following God the things that he's putting in your heart are often bigger than what you have available to achieve them. That's the way it should be because we have to trust God, he will provide the provision for the vision. In this episode we're discussing overcoming discouragement when your dreams seem impossible!   Links Mentioned: SeedTime 10X Investing Course - https://seedtime.com/10x SeedTime on Instagram - ​​https://www.instagram.com/seedtime (Please note: links mentioned may be affiliate links which help us support our podcast and website.
