It’s Never About Money: Face Finances with Faith Not Fear

What if your money problems have nothing to do with money? What if it was actually about facing finances with faith instead of fear? Welcome to week four of the 2026 Money Matters series! We're closing out Financial Literacy Month with a conversation that ties everything together — and brings a fresh, deeply personal perspective to the table. Rachel Collins is a money coach who guides individuals, couples, and business owners to get unstuck with money so they can live with intention, purpose, and peace. She is the founder of Living Well Financial Coaching — a name inspired by Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well — and she brings equal parts biblical wisdom, practical strategy, and genuine compassion to every client she serves. In This Episode: How a personal finance class during one of the busiest seasons of Rachel's life changed everything The emergency that proved God had already prepared the way — before Rachel even knew she needed it Why smart, capable, faith-filled women are privately overwhelmed by money The surprising truth: it's rarely about the numbers — it's about mindset, emotion, and identity Why fear of money can become just as much of an idol as the love of money The difference between the worldly money mindset and the biblical renewing of the mind Scripture References: 1 Timothy 6:10 Luke 16:10 Luke 14:28 James 1:17 Romans 12:2 Key Takeaway: Avoiding your finances doesn't make them go away — it just keeps you stuck. But when you get honest with yourself, your spouse, and God about where things actually stand, that's where transformation begins. You are not alone in this, and you were never meant to be. This Week's Reflection: Is there an area of your finances you've been avoiding? What would it look like to bring that to God — and to one trusted person — this week?
