Beware of Filthy Lucre! (Christian Money Problems)
In this bold, irreverent, and truth-packed episode, Mark Casto dismantles the religious strongholds around money, exposes the poverty gospel for what it really is, and makes the unapologetic case for Kingdom wealth creation through digital products.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for charging what you’re worth…
If you’ve ever been labeled “worldly” for wanting to build a business…
If you’ve been waiting for permission to multiply what God put in your hands…
This is your episode.
Mark breaks down why the love of money isn’t the same as making money, why the digital economy is a prophetic space for Kingdom builders, and how Jesus never once bashed wealth—but He did command us to steward and multiply it.
You’ll laugh. You might get mad.
But you’ll never think about money—or your message—the same way again.
