Episode Transcript

"Does money matter too much to you? Step into the deep waters of Proverbs 30 as John David Walt challenges us to rethink our relationship with wealth, integrity, and contentment in this transformative episode of Seedbed Inc.'s daily devotionals. As January closes, John David Walt dives into ancient wisdom that’s as timely as ever—posing the rare, honest prayer from Proverbs: ‘Give me neither poverty nor riches, but just enough to satisfy my needs.’ He unpacks why this courageous prayer goes to the heart of what it means to trust God, prioritize truth, and live a life of abundance, regardless of your bank balance. Hear engaging personal reflections, including formative lessons from John David Walt's own upbringing and the powerful distinction between living with an abundance mentality versus a scarcity mindset. You’ll discover why integrity and contentment are the two favors worth asking from God—and how focusing on them can reshape your entire attitude toward money. Key moments include: The surprising wisdom of asking God for only two things—integrity and contentment Candid stories about growing up in a family that neither idolized nor ignored money, but modeled generosity A perspective-shifting truth: Why being ‘rich’ or ‘poor’ is more about your heart than your wallet Tune in for practical journal prompts to examine your own relationship with money and truth, plus contemplative worship to end your week with peace and purpose. Whether you’re flush with cash or just getting by, this episode will inspire you to cultivate deeper contentment and faith. Subscribe for more conversations that blend ancient wisdom with real-life application, and join us as we sow seeds of awakening in everyday life."
