Do Christians have to tithe? Short answer: no. But should we? Yes—but probably not for the reason you think...

In this episode, we’ll unpack why tithing isn’t a “rule” for Christians under the New Covenant to avoid being cursed by God (as many teach), but why it might still be a wise and helpful practice. Jesus warned how easily money can become the object of our love and trust—and giving regularly can help us fight that. Think of tithing less like a law and more like a rhythm—a way to routinely remind ourselves that God is our provider and worthy of our trust.

In the church, wealth is often seen as a blessing from God. But what happens when that wealth becomes the object of your trust?

In this episode, Brian and Katie unpack the biblical tension between wealth, worship, and trust. The ease with which we can grow to love and rely on money shouldn’t be overlooked—or taken lightly.

Whether you have a lot or a little, this conversation will challenge you to ask: Is the money you have a blessing used to love others and worship God, or has it quietly pulled you away from the ways of Jesus and His Kingdom?

When parents never apologize to their kids, it’s either because they're perfect or prideful. And since we know that every parent makes mistakes, that leaves us with only one option: pride.

In this episode, Brian and Katie explore the process of rupture and repair, and why humility, not perfection, is what builds lasting connection with your kids.
