Anxious About Savings? How to See God’s Provision in Your Progress

Do you ever feel like your savings just aren’t where they should be—and wonder if you’re falling behind? You’re not alone. In this episode, I respond to a listener who’s feeling anxious about their financial cushion and unsure if they’re doing enough. I share why saving money is more about stewardship than security, and how shifting your mindset from fear to faith can bring peace. We’ll look at surprising stats about savings in America, and I’ll walk you through four practical steps to build confidence: starting an emergency fund, planning for retirement, setting clear goals, and celebrating your wins—no matter how small. I also share a verse from Philippians that reminds us where our true provision comes from, and I introduce the Financially Confident Christian Community—a space to grow, learn, and be encouraged by others on the same journey.

Last week, in Episode 338 “Discouraged by Slow Debt Progress? You’re Doing Better Than You Think,” we explored how small steps in debt payoff can lead to big breakthroughs. This week, we turn our focus to savings—and how to see God’s hand in every deposit, every decision, and every moment of growth. If you’ve ever felt like your savings aren’t enough, this episode will help you recognize that God is already working in your progress. Let’s talk about how to trust Him more and take the next faithful step forward.
