How does wealth and power shape future generations? In this episode, we explore the lives of Eli, Samuel, and the kings of Israel to uncover the impact of wealth, fame, and influence on their children. Drawing lessons from the Old Testament, we examine how misplaced priorities can lead to spiritual and moral failures—and what that means for us today.

Join us as we dive into biblical narratives and reflect on how to steward resources faithfully in raising godly children.
