Abrahams Wallet

As America nears its 250th anniversary, we're ending this series with a vision worth fighting for. Drawing from George Washington's own words and the biblical promise of every family dwelling safely under their own vine and fig tree, we'll explore the kind of peace, prosperity, and freedom Christian fathers should be building toward. Because the inheritance we leave isn't just financial—it's the w...

In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, we confront the pressure on Christians — especially fathers and church leaders — to stay silent on "political" topics. We will explain how the culture has hijacked the word "politics" to silence biblical truth on marriage, family, gender, human dignity, and creation order. This is a call for men to lead their homes courageously by applying Scripture to every ar...

Many Christians have been taught a version of American history that treats faith as an afterthought—or worse, a problem to overcome. But what if the story is more complicated than that? What if the men who shaped this nation regularly referenced Scripture, called for Christian virtue, and believed that faith was essential to preserving liberty? In this episode, we explore the often-forgotten Prote...

Most Christians think of inheritance in terms of money, land, or possessions. But what if one of the greatest inheritances God has given you is the place where you live? Your neighborhood, your city, your state, and even your nation are not accidents—they're part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you. In this first episode of our four-part America series, we explore the biblical call to seek...

What if the real win this summer isn’t building something new… but learning to actually enjoy what God has already given you? So many Christian fathers spend their lives grinding, building, planning, and striving that they forget to stop and receive the gifts sitting right in front of them: their current stage of life, meaningful friendships, simple meals, time in God’s Word, and quiet moments of...

A lot of Christian men treat fitness and health like optional side quests—something nice to care about after the important stuff is handled. But what if stewarding your body is actually part of your calling as a husband, father, and leader? Right behind spiritual and relational capital sits physical capital, and ignoring it eventually impacts everything else God has entrusted to you. In this episo...

Most families don’t lose the farm because of bad markets—they lose it because relationships fall apart during the transfer. But Hayden and Sheree Ballinger are building something different. On their 230-hectare dairy farm in Victoria, Australia, they’ve found a way to honor parents, preserve sibling relationships, and create a model for multi-generational living that actually brings the family clo...

Most Christians think of the church building as “the temple” or “the sanctuary”… but biblically, that’s not true. In the New Covenant, God’s presence doesn’t dwell in a building—He dwells in His people. That means you are the temple. And by extension, your household becomes the front line of worship, holiness, and spiritual leadership. In this episode, we unpack the biblical meaning of the temple...

A lot of Christian dads think budgeting is only for people who are broke. But imagine standing before God—the true Owner of everything—and saying, “We made money… we just don’t really know where it went. And we don’t have a plan for what’s next.” That’s not freedom. That’s careless stewardship. In this episode of Abraham’s Wallet , we talk about why even prosperous families must budget like seriou...

Whole life insurance is being rebranded right now as “Bank on Yourself” or “Infinite Banking”—and the pitch sounds incredibly attractive. It promises safety, guaranteed growth, and the ability to borrow from your own policy like you’re your own bank. But what most families don’t realize is that for the average Christian dad, this strategy often creates more financial drag than freedom. In this epi...

The culture is aggressively sexualized right now—and if you feel overwhelmed as a dad, you’re not crazy. Media, entertainment, and even government messaging constantly push the idea that sex has no boundaries and no consequences. But the fruit of that “freedom” is everywhere: broken hearts, depression, shattered marriages, fatherless generations—and children being exposed far earlier than ever bef...

If you were at our Fall Retreat in November 2025, you know it was something special. In this episode, we’re sharing the greatest hits — the standout ideas, the most impactful moments, and the messages that set the tone for the weekend. You’ll hear highlights from the opening talk and key insights that left many men challenged, encouraged, and ready to lead their homes with greater clarity. And thi...

Most churches love to celebrate big giving stories—but for a lot of Christian dads, that kind of generosity right now wouldn’t be godly… it would be irresponsible. If you’re drowning in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and stressed about providing, writing a big check doesn’t fix the real problem—it just delays it. In this episode, we rewind the conversation and break down the 4 A’s of Godly Fin...

It feels like financial rules are changing every five minutes right now… and if you’re a dad trying to lead your family wisely, it can get confusing fast. Between new policies, Trump headlines, and talk around the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a lot of families are asking the same question: What does this actually mean for my money? In this episode, we are answering the 4 most-asked questions. There’s a l...

Most people don’t spend much time thinking about old age—at least not until it’s right in front of them. But what if the way you think about aging now shapes the kind of life you’ll actually live later? In this episode, we will address a topic that rarely gets talked about, yet deeply impacts your worldview, your leadership, and your long-term vision of the good life.  Links in this Episode: ...

Most Christian men don’t realize how deeply the culture around them has shaped the way they think about money. What feels normal—how we spend, borrow, upgrade, and define success—often mirrors the world far more than it reflects the wisdom of Scripture. In this episode, we unpack the hidden pressures behind modern money habits and explore how fathers can intentionally build a different financial c...

Did you know the Bible never talks about vacations ? Our modern idea of escape and leisure isn’t really a biblical category. But that doesn’t mean travel is pointless! In fact, used well, it can become a powerful tool for fathers who want to shape the spiritual, relational, and cultural life of their family. In this episode, we talk about how dads can think differently about travel and turn trips...

AI isn’t coming. It’s here. And it’s already shaping your kids. While most parents are barely aware of what tools their children are using, classrooms are changing, homework is changing, and the way young people think and create is changing. The question isn’t whether AI will be part of your family’s future — it’s whether you’ll lead your home through it intentionally or let it shape your children...

In the final episode of the Abrahamic Starter Series, we step back and ask a bold question: If a man actually lived this out — what would his life look like? Not the vague, lonely retirement story our culture sells, but the good life God designed. A faithful husband. A fruitful home. Grandchildren around the table. Debt-free. Assets compounding. A legacy stretching 200 years into the future. We’ve...

Most Christian men handle money exactly like their unbelieving neighbors. They tithe a little, save for retirement, and hope it all works out. But what if money was never meant to fund comfort — but dominion? In this fourth episode of the Abrahamic Starter Kit, we zoom in on the Abrahamic money mentality. This is about building wealth that serves a 200-year vision — not just coasting through a saf...

Most Christian men aren't building their families in a way that is producing strength, legacy, or long-term faithfulness. The Bible teaches us a better way. In the third episode of this "Abrahamic Starter Kit Series," we unveil The Abrahamic Model — a completely different operating system for marriage, child-raising, and money. In this episode, we go back to the biblical mandate and show what it l...

Every February, we do something that feels almost rebellious in today’s culture—we practice telling ourselves no . No extra spending. No impulse buys. No quick coffee runs or “let’s just grab takeout.” Instead, we use what’s already in the house, clean out the freezer and pantry, and slow life down just enough to notice how often spending has replaced presence. In this episode, we talk about why t...

This is Episode 2 of the Abrahamic Starter Kit , where we lay out what Scripture actually calls the primary mission of men: marry, multiply, and fill the earth. We return to Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 7 to challenge the idea that marriage and children are optional, secondary, or a distraction from “real” ministry. They aren’t. They are central to God’s design. Whether you’re single, married, or a...

After the sudden loss of a close friend, we felt compelled to have a conversation most fathers avoid—but shouldn’t. In this episode, we talk honestly about preparing your family for the unthinkable. Not because money can ease grief (it can’t), but because wise preparation can remove unnecessary fear, confusion, and pressure when tragedy strikes. This isn’t about morbid planning or living in fear....

Pop Christianity has sold families a version of faith that looks good on the surface, but quietly undermines God’s design for marriage, children, and legacy. In this episode, Steven is joined by Jeff Davenport to expose 5 big lies threatening the biblical family and to introduce The Abrahamic Starter Kit —a short, no-fluff series designed to help Christian men step off the spiritual merry-go-round...
