True Peace Requires Financial Surrender

The Peaceful Mompreneur

Financial surrender might be the most overlooked aspect of Christian discipleship, yet it's often where we struggle most to release control. Author Heather M. Day joins us to unpack how true peace requires giving our finances completely to God.

About:

Despite growing up in church and understanding tithing, Heather admits that fully surrendering finances to God's direction wasn't something she'd considered until experiencing its transformative power personally. Her book "Money and Spirit: Surrendering Our Finances to the Work of the Holy Spirit" wasn't born from financial expertise but from obedience to God's surprising prompting. Through powerful storytelling, Heather explores how each fruit of the Spirit manifests in our financial lives, offering a unique perspective beyond typical money management advice.
When we feel financially hopeless, Heather emphasizes two critical truths: God never intended us to handle money alone, and community plays an essential role in financial health. By examining our spending patterns, we often discover deeper heart issues—are we buying to project an image? Hoarding from fear? Hiding purchases from loved ones? These behaviors reveal areas where surrender is needed most.
For those with reluctant spouses, Heather shares her own journey. Rather than nagging her husband into tithing, she focused on her own obedience while praying for his heart to change—eventually witnessing his dramatic transformation as God worked. This principle applies broadly: do what you can, surrender what you can't control, and listen carefully to understand perspectives different from your own.
Ready to experience peace in your finances? Start by acknowledging God's ownership of everything, examine your spending motivations, and invite trusted community into your journey. Connect with Heather at heatherday.net and find her book wherever books are sold.
