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'.

Ruth Soukup on overcoming the fear of failure
What is the fear that's holding you back from achieving your goals and dreams? Being an entrepreneur, I can attest that learning to overcome your fears is a part of the journey. In life, there are always new challenges and new hurdles that we must face and overcome. Fear will permeate everything we do. I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. There are distinct patterns (fear archetypes) in the way that fear manifests itself in our lives. Label the fear, have the courage to identify it, and give yourself the power to do something about it! Join Ruth and I as we help you overcome fears, conquer goals and reach those dreams!

Not Every Decision Should Be A Financial One
There are so many decisions to be made every day. And, everyone makes decisions differently. Each of our decisions shouldn't be made solely from a financial aspect. What about health decisions? Sometimes you need help right away, no matter the financial consequences. Even when we're focused on meeting our financial goals, there are many lenses in which we should use when making decisions. And, when we do meet those financial goals, we savers need to celebrate the victories! I urge all the savers to loosen up and think of the other factors in the decision making process, not just the financial aspects!
