Should You Have Kids If You Can't Afford Their Future?
In this episode of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri Smith, CPA, answers real Thorn Letters covering some of today’s toughest financial and relationship questions through a biblical and practical lens.
Money is only one factor in raising good children. The main thing you need to have is love.
New Thorn Letters explore debt, family, marriage, business, parenting, faith, and the financial decisions that shape everyday life.
One truth. One lesson. One faithful step.
Financial wisdom does not always require a complete life overhaul. Sometimes it begins with one truth you are willing to believe and one decision you are willing to make.
The goal is not to make every decision perfectly. The goal is to become wiser, more faithful, and more intentional with what God has entrusted to you.
Wisdom begins with seeking God first.
Before reacting to fear, pressure, or urgency, pause and ask what faithfulness looks like in the decision in front of you.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.” James 1:5 NIV
Make one decision with clarity today.
Do not try to fix everything at once. Choose one area where you can replace confusion with an honest plan.
- Name the decision you have been avoiding.
- Write down the facts without fear or assumptions.
- Choose one practical action you can complete this week.
What would change if you approached your next financial decision with wisdom instead of fear?
