What Are My True Values, and How Do They Guide My Spending?
Season 7 Episode 184
Have you ever looked at your bank statement and thought, Where did it all go? In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, Ralph invites us to go beyond habits and social pressure to explore how our spending decisions can (and should) reflect what matters most. If you're tired of financial stress and regret, this episode will help you identify your top values and start aligning every dollar with your God-given purpose. When your heart and your wallet are in sync, you experience the freedom and clarity that come from spending from your true values

You’ll walk away with a practical action step: define your top 3–5 values and do a “values test” on your recent spending. Ralph also offers simple examples of how to shift your finances in small but powerful ways—whether it’s cutting a subscription, redirecting a donation, or setting aside time for a family night. This isn’t about restriction; it’s about living intentionally and letting your money tell the right story.
