Are you leaning too hard in one financial direction? Faithfulness with money is not about extremes. It is about balance.

In this episode of Plan to Prosper, we explore what we call The Great Balancing Act. Most people think money only has two lanes: spend it or save it. But Scripture and wise stewardship show us five distinct categories for every dollar: giving, saving, spending, protecting, and investing. We break down each one through a biblical lens and offer practical percentage frameworks to help you steward your finances with clarity, conviction, and purpose.

What you’ll learn:

• The five biblical categories for money and why each one matters

• Why maximizing one category can quietly damage the others

• A practical gross-based percentage framework for faithful stewardship

• How protection and faith-based investing fit into a Christian financial plan

• Why balance, not extremes, leads to long-term financial peace
