You’ll walk away with practical, faith-based steps: how to start your “peace perimeter,” where to find seed money in your budget, and how to anchor your savings in trust—not fear. Ralph reframes saving as an act of spiritual discipline, encouraging listeners to see their emergency fund as a modern day Noah's ark, built not out of fear, but faith. If you’ve been putting off saving because it feels too small to matter, this episode offers a new perspective rooted in grace, wisdom, and calm readiness.
