Finances can often feel overwhelming, but the Bible has plenty of practical wisdom to guide us toward freedom and peace.

This past Sunday, Pastor Phil shared a powerful message on financial health—and today, we’re continuing the conversation by exploring the role finances play in our overall well-being. In this episode, Pastor Ken sits down with Austin Staub, a longtime banking professional, to talk about financial health—from budgeting basics and tackling debt, to embracing a generous heart and planning for the future. You’ll hear why money is often so emotional, how biblical principles can transform the way you handle finances, and how a simple mindset shift can bring renewed hope. Whether you’re drowning in debt or just wanting to steward your resources better, this conversation will encourage you to take a next step toward true financial well-being.

We’re excited to kick off our brand-new podcast by diving into a conversation about spiritual health with longtime Hope City members, Gwen and Dan Bodie. They share how life’s highs and lows have shaped their faith, and offer practical tips for anyone looking to deepen their walk with God. It’s an honest, encouraging, and real look at what it means to grow spiritually day by day.

In the coming weeks, we’ll release five podcast episodes that line up with our current sermon series, “New Year, New You.” Each episode will explore a different area of health—physical, mental, professional, financial, and spiritual—to help you step into a healthier, stronger life the way God intends.

What You’ll Hear About:

• How tragedy and hard seasons can draw us closer to God

• Why prayer, scripture reading, and service are key to spiritual vitality

• Practical ways to find meaningful church community

• Overcoming spiritual “dry spells” and dealing with doubt

Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for decades, we hope this conversation inspires you to keep growing in every area of your life.
