The biblical 'wealth transfer' myth debunked in 10 minutes

You know that verse in Proverbs that says “the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous”?

Yeah… we need to talk about that.

For years, I heard people quoting it like a divine scratch-off ticket. Sit back, wait long enough, and eventually, poof - someone else’s riches end up in your account. But what if that’s not what the Bible is saying at all?

💡 In this quick but powerful episode, we break down:

• What Proverbs 13:22 actually means (and why most people are getting it totally wrong)
• Why this isn't about spiritual favoritism, but financial behavior
• How meekness plays a hidden role in wealth-building 
• The overlooked principle that made people thrive during the Great Depression
• Why debt is the opposite of biblical wisdom — and how to position yourself for peace, not panic

This isn't about sitting around waiting for God to drop blessings from the sky. It’s about living like Joseph in Egypt — wise, prepared, generous, and positioned for impact when the world starts shaking.

We’re not waiting for a miracle. We’re becoming one.
