Have you ever swiped your card and felt uneasy afterward, wondering how quickly the balance will grow? I know the emotional toll that credit card debt can take, especially when high‑interest rates make progress feel impossible. In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, I share insights on breaking the cycle of debt with wisdom and faith. I explain why creating boundaries is essential to stop further accumulation and regain control. By paying more than the minimum and switching to cash or debit, I’ve found that financial peace begins to return.
In Episode 19, “Should I Ever Borrow Again? The Truth About ‘Good Debt’”, I explored how discerning whether to borrow aligns with faith and financial clarity. Building on that, this episode focuses on confronting the dangers of credit card debt head‑on. I share practical steps to protect yourself, along with Biblical wisdom that highlights the importance of recognizing financial risks early. I encourage you to take protective measures now to secure a debt‑free future. My prayer is that this episode helps you crush credit card debt before it crushes you, walking in freedom and confidence with God’s guidance.
