Emotions are often the hidden force behind financial stress.
Master them—and everything else begins to change.
Whether you feel secure… or stretched thin…
your emotions can quietly take control of your financial decisions.

In this episode, Elizabeth Brickman shares practical and biblical wisdom for managing the
emotional turbulence that money can create. Drawing from 25 years as a financial advisor, she
explains why financial distress is often caused less by the numbers themselves and more by the
emotional reactions surrounding them.

In This Episode

• Why money triggers powerful emotional reactions
• How emotional surges can lead to poor financial decisions
• Why your identity must never be tied to financial outcomes
• How regret can quietly trap people in financial paralysis
• The biblical approach to overcoming financial fear
• Why gratitude stabilizes both your heart and your decisions
When emotions are wisely managed, money becomes a tool instead of a tyrant — and financial
decisions become calmer, clearer, and more faithful.
The goal is not to eliminate emotions. The goal is to lead them wisely.
And with God’s help, you absolutely can.
