  • Making Millions as a Christian w/ Lecrae

    Making Millions as a Christian w/ Lecrae
    Jul 4 2026

    When most people hear the name Lecrae, they think Grammy Awards, hit records, and one of the most recognized voices in Christian hip hop. But on this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I sit down with Lecrae the businessman, the entrepreneur, and the multimillionaire who has had to steward fame, fortune, and everything that comes with it. We get into how he built companies from nothing, the financial moves that almost cost him, and how he kept his faith and his family intact through it all.

    We cover the public backlash that cost him a huge chunk of his income overnight, the four-legged money lesson that shaped him at 16, the difference between a poverty mentality and a prosperity gospel, the investing mistakes that cost him millions, and what it really means to make, manage, and multiply money God's way. If you have ever wrestled with money and faith pulling in opposite directions, this conversation is for you.

  • How to Get Out of Debt God’s Way | Biblical Financial Freedom

    How to Get Out of Debt God’s Way | Biblical Financial Freedom
    Jun 27 2026
    Debt can feel like a trap, but it does not have to be your future.In this episode of The Stewardship Coach Podcast, I share a practical and biblical conversation about getting out of debt, breaking financial bondage, and walking toward real freedom. Debt is more than a financial issue. When too much of your income is obligated to someone else, it can limit your choices, increase stress, and keep you from stewarding your money the way God intended.Using the powerful story of the widow, her sons, and the jars of oil in 2 Kings 4, I explain how God can take what is already in your hand and use it to create a path forward. We talk about the difference between strategic debt and consumer debt, why many people remain stuck in the cycle, and the practical steps you can begin taking to get out.If you are tired of credit card balances, living paycheck to paycheck, making minimum payments, or feeling like your finances control your life, this episode is for you.00:00 Get Out01:06 Why Debt Is So Dangerous01:39 When Debt Becomes Financial Bondage02:38 The Reality of Debt in America05:46 The Widow’s Debt Crisis in 2 Kings 407:34 A Family Left in Financial Trouble10:43 “What Do You Have in Your House?”11:31 God Can Use What You Already Have12:00 The Faith to Take Action14:38 Don’t Think Small About What God Can Do15:31 Sell the Oil and Pay Your Debts16:07 Trusting God With Your Finances17:52 What Debt Really Is18:19 The Biblical Definition of Debt19:38 The Borrower Is Slave to the Lender20:23 Is Debt a Sin?23:08 When Borrowing May Be Strategic24:36 Strategic Debt vs. Consumer Debt26:10 How to Begin Getting Out of Debt26:27 Step 1: Stop Using Debt28:24 Step 2: Systematically Eliminate Existing Debt29:23 Step 3: Establish a Workable Budget30:00 Step 4: Develop Multiple Streams of Income30:56 Step 5: Learn Contentment31:30 Financial Freedom and Spiritual Freedom34:11 A Prayer for Debt Freedom#TheStewardshipCoach #LeeJenkins #GetOutOfDebt #DebtFreeJourney #BiblicalFinance #FaithAndFinance #FinancialFreedom #ChristianMoney #MoneyManagement #PersonalFinance #Stewardship #FinancialDiscipleship #DebtFreedom #ChristianFinancialAdviceSUBSCRIBE for weekly content on faith, finances, and stewardship.📖 Learn more at leejenkinsstewardship.com📲 Follow Lee on Instagram: @thestewardshipcoach
