In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, Ralph Estep Jr. flips the script on the cultural lies about money. Drawing from his own journey in the credit union world, his financial practice, and most importantly, the Word of God, Ralph reveals why “more money” never solves the problem and how we can finally experience true financial peace. With his trademark mix of practical wisdom and biblical truth, Ralph helps listeners see that contentment is learned, not earned. If you’ve ever thought, “If I just made more, I’d finally be okay,” this episode will show you why that’s the wrong question and how to start asking the right one.
