Legacy & Ledger: Passing Down Faith and Financial Freedom to The Next Generation with Angela Byrd

In this episode of Yahweh’s Money, we’re keeping it faithful, practical, and generational. Shay Cook sits down with longtime friend, veteran, and financial role model Angela Byrd for a powerful conversation on how to build a legacy of faith and financial wisdom that lasts for generations.

This episode explores the intersection of spiritual stewardship, family values, and financial preparedness—showing why leaving a godly inheritance goes far beyond money. Angela opens up about growing up between Jamaica, England, and the U.S., watching her grandmother invest in land in the 1950s, and how those lessons continue to guide her financial and spiritual journey today.

Together, Shay and Angela unpack what it means to “pass the ledger and the Lord”—equipping future generations with wisdom, preparation, and peace of mind.

You’ll discover:

• How faith and financial discipline go hand in hand when leaving a legacy.
• The difference between material inheritance and spiritual financial legacy.
• Why having insurance, wills, and estate plans is an act of love—not fear.
• The real cost of avoiding financial conversations in Black and Brown families.
• How to choose an executor who aligns with your values—not just your family ties.
• The importance of teaching children and grandchildren about money early.
• Why land ownership and paying property taxes are vital to preserving family wealth.
• How prayer, obedience, and stewardship create stability across generations.

Featured Scripture:

Proverbs 13:22 — “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.”

Action Step:

This week, identify one financial principle you learned from an elder—whether it’s saving, giving, or stewardship. Write it down, pray over it, and share it with a younger family member. Because true wealth isn’t just what you leave for your family—it’s what you leave in them.
