Most of us don't have an income problem. We have an outgo problem.
Two in three Americans live paycheck to paycheck, including about half of people making $100K or more. Half couldn't cover a surprise $1,000 bill. And we're financing burritos now. In Week 2 of STRAPPED, Pastor Brandon Sereg gets practical about debt, budgets, and getting free.
Proverbs puts it bluntly: "the borrower is servant to the lender." But you were never called to have a master called debt. You were called to live under a Master named Jesus. The way out is three values, not tips: self-control, sacrifice, and planning. Because we give up something we love for something we love even more.
Act your wage. Own it, don't owe it.

Strapped - Why You Still Feel Broke
Haggai says it like it is: you work hard, earn wages, and still end up with a purse full of holes. This message starts with a tough question, when's the last time you were truly content, and then shows how ads, comparison and the 'just one more' lie keep us thirsty. Contentment isn't a place you arrive in the future; it's an attitude you embrace today, and the more you have, the more you need to know what it's for. This week, practice gratitude, interrupt comparison, and let God lead your generosity

Live A Better Story - The Better Story Begins
Ever tell a kid to clean their room, and twenty minutes later they say "Done!" and it's suspiciously clean? Then you look under the bed and it's the whole bedroom. Some of us still do that. Not with a room. With our lives.
In the finale of Live a Better Story, Pastor Johna walks through Nehemiah. The wall went up in fifty-two days, but the book keeps going, because the wall was never the point. The people were.
Scripture: Nehemiah 6:15, Nehemiah 8:1-3, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 3:3-4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 19:30, Philippians 1:6.
