023: Why Your Finances Might Be Blocking God’s Blessing (And What to Do About It)

In this episode, Brett shares a personal and powerful reflection on surrendering finances to God. Inspired by John Bevere’s Honor’s Reward, Brett opens up about the ongoing challenge of fully trusting God with his finances, particularly through tithing. Though he recognizes the biblical principle of giving the first 10% of income, he confesses the struggle between trusting God and covering essential bills. This tension becomes a springboard for deeper transformation as Brett seeks to align every area of his life—including business and ministry—with God’s kingdom.

Brett also reveals some exciting shifts. He plans to reduce his podcast schedule temporarily to focus on launching new projects, including the Eternal Alignment Plan and a church-based men’s leadership initiative. Drawing from his entrepreneurial upbringing, Brett feels called to build kingdom-aligned businesses that empower others to step into biblical manhood and spiritual leadership.

As he works more hours to stabilize finances, Brett emphasizes the importance of honoring both God and family, choosing to spend more intentional time at home with his wife and son.

Key Takeaways:

1. Surrendering finances to God is a spiritual act of trust and honor, even when it feels risky or uncomfortable.
2. Entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for kingdom impact, especially when rooted in God’s direction and purpose.
3. Leadership in the home and church begins with intentional spiritual formation, particularly among men.
4. Balancing faith, family, and calling requires obedience and flexibility, including scaling back when needed to focus on what matters most.
