God does NOT want you to be poor (really).

I want to talk about something that keeps coming up in the comments on my money videos.

Any time I talk about money, value, or building financial support, there are a few responses that always appear. They usually sound something like this:

• “Being wealthy isn’t Christ-like.”

• “God doesn’t want us focused on money.”

• “If you were really spiritual, you wouldn’t care about making money at all.”

I understand why people say this. Most of us were taught some version of it. I was too.

But this belief causes more harm than people realize, especially for people who genuinely want to live with integrity, faith, and freedom.

So let’s slow down and actually look at it.

The core assumption underneath those comments

The real belief hiding under all of those statements is this:

Wanting money is morally or spiritually wrong.

Once that idea gets lodged in your system, it sneakily shapes everything you do with money.

You might say you want more ease, more support, or more freedom, but another part of you feels conflicted as soon as money starts to come in. You hesitate, downplay your value, or somehow pull back without even realizing you’re doing it.

That is NOT God blocking abundance.

That is your internal resistance.

You can’t build something you believe you aren’t supposed to have.

Why this belief doesn’t actually hold up

Jesus talked about provision constantly.

He talked about stewardship, responsibility, and using what you have wisely. He talked about not being dependent on systems or rulers for survival. He talked about multiplication, not lack.

What he warned against was attachment, fear, and our identity getting tangled up in money. NOT money itself.

Lack was never the goal.

Poverty was never the ideal to emulate.

How this assumption keeps people stuck

When someone believes that wanting money is wrong, it often shows up like this:

• They undercharge or avoid asking for fair compensation

• They avoid learning new skills because it feels “selfish”

• They stay in situations that drain them and believe it’s humility

• They feel guilty for wanting ease or support

• They wait for someone to rescue them instead of expanding their capacity for abundance

All of this is self-abandonment… not faith or virtue.

Other common money assumptions that keep people broke

These come up all the time, and you mistake them as facts:

• “I’m just not good with money.”

• “I don’t have anything valuable to offer.”

• “Only certain people can make real money.”

• “If I make more, I’ll become greedy.”

• “Money changes people for the worse.”

• “I should be grateful and stop wanting more.”

These are not facts. They are inherited beliefs.

And beliefs run behavior.

A simple shift you can make right now

Instead of asking, “How do I make more money?”

Try asking this:

What value am I already providing that I’ve been taught to overlook?

If you have ever:

• Written an email

• Organized information

• Solved a problem

• Raised a child

• Managed a household

• Edited, researched, taught, built, planned, or supported others

You have marketable (sellable, VALUABLE!) skills.

They are just so familiar to you that you probably don’t see them as valuable.

Money does not come from worthiness… it comes from value exchange and awareness.

And awareness can be learned.

This is exactly what we’ll work on during the LIVE Transform Your Money program

Not about hustling harder or “manifesting” checks out of thin air. And it’s definitely not about shaming yourself into “better habits.”

Transform Your Money begins January 29, and it’s a brand new program included inside Conscious Rebels Network.

This work is about:

• Identifying the assumptions running in the background of your financial life

• Untangling spirituality from scarcity

• Learning how money actually works (when fear isn’t steering)

• Seeing your value clearly instead of minimizing it

• Building support in your life without burning yourself out

This is the work I’ve done personally.
It’s the work I’ve done privately with clients.
And it’s the work I’ve wanted to teach publicly for a long time (I had to wait for the non-compete with my former company to expire before I started teaching about making money again 🤓).

If money never seems to stick around for you, it’s usually not because you’re irresponsible, lazy, or “not disciplined enough.”

It’s because your nervous system, beliefs, and identity were trained in an environment where wanting more felt unsafe or wrong.

That can be changed.

If this post rustled up something inside you, don’t ignore it!!

If you felt relief reading this, or a little discomfort, or a quiet “oh… heh… that’s me,” that’s your sign, my friend.

Transform Your Money starts January 29 inside Conscious Rebels Network.

When you join CRN, you get access to the full program plus the entire library of conversations, calls, on-demand courses, and the vibrant community already inside the network.

This is deep, practical work.
It’s also very human work… and you don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.

If you’re ready to stop fighting money and start understanding it, this is your invitation.

You don’t need to become someone else to change your financial reality. You just need to stop believing the things that were never true in the first place 🙌
