Too often, the desire to "be wise with money” can very quietly, subtly trap you into constant worry, endless budgeting, and feeling STUCK - no matter how much you have in your bank account.

In this episode, Alex opens up about his family history with money, and the journey and mindset shift God's led him through (including more recently) that FINALLY helped him find a new level of freedom... the kind that actually LASTS.

We also talk about:

• how EASY it is to feel anxious in our world today (esp. with so much uncertainty in geopolitics, economy, the market, technology, government, the list goes on!)
• the cultural PRESSURES to plan our entire future around money (especially as Asian Americans!)
• sneaky cultural IDOLS that creep in (that the world just normalizes)
• what it means / looks like to live by faith in GOD - not in finances
• how we've experienced (and overcome) financial stress as PARENTS / during pregnancy

We didn't wanna do just another podcast episode with quick financial hacks or budgeting tricks... but we wanted to dive into how we increasingly experience the kind of freedom Jesus talks about - the kind that CAN'T be shaken, no matter what’s going on in the world.

No matter what you're going through or when you might be tuning into this... We pray this conversation blesses you and helps you walk more confidently in TRUE financial freedom - from the INSIDE out!

There's simply NO denying that - ready or not - we're all now living (and trying to find our way) in a new era, particularly because of artificial intelligence and RAPIDLY growing technology!

And the changes are only getting exponentially faster as we speak...

So of course, we've been sitting on this a LOT, and wanted to openly share how we’ve been processing how we should engage with AI:

As believers, as parents, as people who’ve worked in tech, and as followers of Jesus who simply want to stay rooted in God's Word and ways.

We dive into:

• The SPIRITUAL dangers of AI that people just are NOT talking about enough
• Why “spiritual intelligence” is SO vital and how to prioritize it
• How we've been thinking about using AI in a thoughtful, wise, and God-centered way
  
  

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the future, the pace of change, or wondering how to approach all this with wisdom... we hope this conversation sparks some thoughts - and as always speaks to and encourages you!!

How do you think we should mindfully use AI? 👇

YES... we're FINALLY sharing the FULL STORY (with DETAILS) of our daughter's birth!

From what contractions *REALLY* feel like, to countless moments when we were at a LOSS and just so confused lol, to unexpected twists and turns - but also what we're GLAD we did and what we'd recommend to other new parents - this is our HONEST, borderline-TMI conversation about everything that went down on that fateful day.

If you’ve ever wondered what a real, natural hospital birth is actually like (or you just love hearing about WILD real-life stories and testimonies) buckle up as we share our UNFILTERED experience... including:

• What we wish we had known as first-time parents
• Surprises of doing a natural / unmedicated birth
• WHY we personally chose that route (despite Grace's lifelong FEAR of birth)
• Biggest tips for moms AND dads
• And more!
