What do you do when grief comes with a life-changing amount of money? In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, I walk with you through a real story from someone who inherited more than $300,000 after losing their mom and felt overwhelmed about what to do next. I share why I believe slowing down, paying off high-interest debt, and protecting the money first can help you make wise financial decisions without unnecessary pressure or regret.
I also talk about the emotional side of inheritance and how you and I can honor the people we love by handling what they left behind with wisdom, patience, and care. As we reflect on Ecclesiastes 7:12, I encourage you to trust God through both the grief and the financial decisions, taking one faithful step at a time.
