SeedTime with Bob and Linda Lotich

Success as a Christian. Success in Marriage. Success as a manager of the money God’s entrusted to you. That’s what we’re after. If you want that too, then you’ll love the show.

Learn to simplify, automate, multiply & get full control of the money God’s entrusted you with. So you can quit stressing about it, pay off debt & get on with your God-given purpose.

Oh and we have a different take on money than most financial experts. We aren’t going to judge you for your past mistakes and we haven’t forgotten the pain of being broke so we can relate. We believe simple always beats complicated. And we believe money isn’t the goal, but is simply a tool that can be used to fulfill what God has called us to do.

We help you spend less time thinking about money while getting better results.

The Seed Time Money podcast is where we (Bob & Linda Lotich) share the mindsets, beliefs and strategies we used to go from being debt-ridden and broke to:

– paying off $400k of debt
– eliminating all guilt and shame with money
– building multiple streams of passive income
– honoring God with our finances
– learning how to save & invest wisely
– having financial unity in our marriage
– giving $1 million by age 40

Occasionally, we interview guests like John Mark Comer, Mark Batterson, Levi Lusko, Annie F. Downs, Joshua Becker, Jamie Winship, Carlos Whittaker, Crystal Paine, Jordan Raynor, and other Biblically-minded Christian thought leaders as we seek to connect our faith with our real lives.

And if you like what you hear on the podcast, consider diving deeper with us by grabbing our award-winning book ‘Simple Money, Rich Life’ or take your spouse or church small group through our 6-week on-demand workshop ‘True Financial Freedom’.

How your work directly impacts what happens when you get to heaven (with Jordan Raynor) Jan 27, 2024

Show notes

Today we are chatting with Jordan Raynor, as we dive deep into his new book, "The Sacredness of Secular Work," and explore how our everyday jobs impact eternity.

I love our conversation (and think you will too) as it challenges the conventional view of work as just a means to an end and encourages us to find divine purpose in our professions.

Key Topics Discussed 🔑

Redefining Work in God's Kingdom: Jordan discusses how every profession, from baristas to CPAs, holds eternal significance. This challenges the notion that only 'ministry' work is meaningful for Christians.
Impactful Stories & Examples: Hear about individuals like Chassie, who found her calling as a hairstylist, and learn how embracing our God-given talents can lead to greater fulfillment and opportunities to witness.
Debunking the Great Commission Misconception: Jordan addresses the modern church's narrow interpretation of the Great Commission and its impact on believers' view of their work.
Eternal Rewards and their Importance: A fresh perspective on why Christians should eagerly pursue eternal rewards as instructed by Jesus.
The Concept of the 'Anti-Bucket List': Jordan introduces the idea of focusing on eternal priorities over worldly experiences.
Practical Application: How these revelations can profoundly affect our daily lives and work.

Resources Mentioned 🎯
