Fren, I can’t believe it’s already been a year since the Holy Spirit first led me into a season of contentment and self-discipline. What started as a simple goal to pay off debt turned into something much deeper — a lesson in stewardship, gratitude, and learning to trust God with both little and much.
In this episode, I’m sharing the ups, the challenges, and the revelations I’ve had while walking through my “delayed gratification era.” From paying off credit cards to facing down old habits of overspending and overindulging, I’ve seen God use every step of this process to remind me that joy doesn’t come from what I can buy — it comes from Him.
This conversation isn’t about budgets or numbers. It’s about contentment. It’s about choosing discipline as an act of worship, and learning how to live with a no matter what kind of faith.
