Is "Money" a Curse Word?

If the word "money" has negative connotations for you, how can you flip that so that "money" becomes a positive word? 

In this episode, Trey and Yelisey explore why "money" often feels like a curse word in today’s culture — and how to shift that mindset toward stewardship, abundance, and confidence. They unpack how upbringing, relationships, and even faith can shape our emotional relationship with money.
