Biblical Wisdom and Wealth: What Proverbs Teaches About Money

Episode 2.1

In this episode, we begin a biblical theology of money and possessions, focusing on the book of Proverbs. Using Kevin DeYoung’s material as a foundation, we explore ten key principles about money that range from the dangers of extremes to the value of generosity and wisdom. Proverbs presents a balanced, God-centered view of wealth—affirming hard work and wise planning while warning against pride, injustice, and false security. Whether you’ve leaned toward prosperity thinking or austerity thinking, this episode offers a refreshing look at how Scripture speaks with clarity and nuance. Ultimately, we’re reminded that true wealth is found not in money, but in Christ, who is our wisdom, righteousness, and redemption.
