Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with a heavy knot in your chest, not just worried about bills, but drowning in shame over past money decisions? Do you look at your bank account and feel like a failure, even though you pray, believe God forgives you, and still can’t forgive yourself? If financial regret has turned into self-hatred, this episode speaks directly to you.
In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, I discuss the crushing weight of money shame and regret head-on. With vulnerability, biblical clarity, and decades of financial experience, I share some of my own painful mistakes, including waiting too long to save for retirement, and explain why self-punishment never leads to true healing. If you’ve been stuck replaying financial failures and wondering how to truly start over, this episode offers both spiritual freedom and practical hope.
