"If you feel like you're working hard but still leaking money, it's not an income problem—it's an architecture problem."

Most people believe their financial struggle is an income problem. They think a higher salary or a sudden windfall is the "miracle" they need. But the truth is, you cannot pour a gallon of blessing into a one-ounce cup. If your financial architecture is broken, more money will only expose more leaks.

In this episode, Terence Townsend—author of Financial Prudence: The Way of the Kingdom—reveals how he went from a homeless minister with a wife and four children to launching international businesses and ministries across three continents.

Terence reveals that God doesn't just give us "stuff"; He gives us stewardship. We dive deep into:

• 💵 The Stewardship Trap: Why "Retail Therapy" is actually a leak in your spiritual architecture.
• 💷 Kingdom vs. Worldly Systems: How to stop chasing instant gratification and start building generational wisdom.
• 💸 The Testing Ground: Why God examines how you handle the $10 in your hand before entrusting you with $10,000.

If you are tired of praying for an overflow while operating a leaky system, this conversation is your blueprint for transformation. Your setback doesn't define your destiny—your stewardship does.

You can be searching for meaning everywhere—in religion, in politics, in service—and still feel utterly broken inside. What if that deep emptiness is the one thing blocking your healing from PTSD and anxiety?

Justin McLane shares a powerful story of radical transformation. Raised in an anti-Christian home, Justin spent nearly 28 years actively practicing paganism... in an attempt to fill a persistent void and overcome a deep feeling of emptiness.

As a U.S. Army Combat veteran, Justin recounts how his internal battles with PTSD, depression, and anxiety mirrored his external search for meaning. His journey to faith began when he made a conscious decision to quest: Was it truly possible that God existed? As his honest quest led him to a personal relationship with God, his mindset changed, and his mental health followed: the PTSD, depression, and anxiety all melted away.

However, his conversion created new divisions: both his parents and other relatives stopped speaking to him... Justin uses his experience to address why we stop communicating with people we disagree with and shares the crucial need to keep the lines of dialogue open.

Now a full-time pastor, Justin proves that you can anchor yourself in faith and truly unleash your potential. In this episode, he shares how it felt to have the absence of God in our life.

He also gives us the exact practical, actionable strategies that will bring small - but fundamental - changes in our life. With consistency, those steps into a new realm help us to develop a personal relationship with God and to find freedom from the internal and external conflicts that divide us.

Topic covered: how to fill a void in life, why do i feel empty inside, lost spiritual meaning, spiritual awakening, searching for purpose, conversion from paganism to christianity, ex pagan finds God, starting a relationship with God, Christian healing ptsd, faith over depression and anxiety, military veteran ptsd faith, how to talk to family about faith, religious family conflict, Justin mclane pagan to pastor.
