How do Christians know when they've saved enough for retirement? This episode explores retirement planning through a biblical stewardship lens. We discuss setting a prayerful "finish line" for savings, avoiding the dangers of unchecked accumulation, and pursuing generosity once your needs are met.

Drawing from Proverbs, James, the Sermon on the Mount, and John Wesley's wisdom on money, this conversation helps believers think faithfully about saving, giving, and trusting God with their resources.
