Real wealth isn’t “more money”—it’s margin, mission, and the freedom to answer God’s call.
Financial planner and author Chad Hufford joins Chad Potts to unpack true wealth: faith, family, fitness, and finance working together. We talk stewardship vs. striving, building margin, practicing gratitude and generosity, and why more money can’t fix poor habits.
Chad also shares the near-death experience that changed his life, why discipline beats motivation, and how to aim your money at God’s purpose so you can live with freedom and impact.
Abundance vs. more: Money is a tool, not the target. Aim it at God’s purpose.
Four pillars: Faith, family, fitness, finance—build them together, not in silos.
Margin matters: Leave the edges of your field (Leviticus 19) in time, budget, and energy.
Gratitude & generosity: Treat both as daily practices, not feelings.
Discipline > motivation: Do the right things consistently, even when you don’t feel like it.
Stop doubling down: You can’t fix poor stewardship with more income.
True wealth: Freedom from debt and dependence on a paycheck so you can say yes to God’s call.
