đź’ Introduction
Are you chasing blessings without first building the relationship?
In Episode 10 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri Smith, CPA, opens up about what it really means to build wealth God’s way—and it’s not just about hustle. It’s about obedience. Through powerful personal stories, Bri shares how seeking God daily has led to her biggest financial breakthroughs—not through strategy or marketing, but through divine alignment.
This episode challenges the idea that God is a vending machine we go to only when we need something. Instead, Bri walks us through how a real relationship with God—built through consistency, gratitude, and obedience—unlocks more than wealth. It brings peace, purpose, and favor in every area of your life.

“Stop treating God like a transaction. He wants a relationship—real, deep, and daily.”
đź“ť Reflection
Obedience unlocks overflow. That’s the central message Bri unpacks in this episode. We often expect God to move when we want Him to—but we haven’t made room for Him in our lives. Through the loss of her grandmother, financial transitions, and the challenges of entrepreneurship, Bri realized that God was never after her hustle. He was after her heart.
This episode invites you to stop running to God only in emergencies. Instead, create a daily relationship with Him—through prayer, praise, and presence. It’s that intimacy that releases peace, power, and provision.
If you’ve been grinding hard but seeing little fruit, this may be the missing piece: obedience and closeness to God. Start seeking Him just to know Him. And watch how He moves.
