Transforming Your Money Stories: Interview with Heather Day
Manage episode 490958889 series 3562759
In this powerful episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, host Anna McLaughlin sits down with Heather M. Day, author of the transformative book Money and Spirit, to explore how we can live under God's covering while stewarding our financial resources well.
Heather, a pastor's kid from the Chicagoland area and Director of Marketing at Barnabas Foundation, shares her deeply personal journey from financial overwhelm to spiritual surrender. In a vulnerable moment sitting in an Applebee's parking lot with her husband Robert, they faced the crushing weight of debt and made a simple prayer: "Jesus, we've made a mess, help us fix it." What happened next was nothing short of miraculous.
