12 Generational Wealth Rules from Proverbs (From Scripture) · Bible Ascent

0:00
Speaker 1: Before we dive into today's video, I want to ask
0:03
Speaker 1: you to do one small thing right now. If you
0:06
Speaker 1: believe that God's word has real, practical answers for your money,
0:10
Speaker 1: your family, and your legacy, go ahead and hit that
0:13
Speaker 1: subscribe button and ring that notification bell. We are building
0:16
Speaker 1: a community of believers who are done being broke and
0:19
Speaker 1: ready to build wealth that lasts for generations. Now, let's
0:24
Speaker 1: get into it. Did you know that nearly seventy percent
0:27
Speaker 1: of wealthy families lose their entire fortune by the second generation,
0:31
Speaker 1: and a staggering ninety percent lose it all by the third.
0:35
Speaker 1: Think about that for a second. People work their whole lives, sacrifice, grind,
0:41
Speaker 1: and build something meaningful, only to watch it completely disappear
0:45
Speaker 1: before their grandchildren even get a chance to benefit from it.
0:48
Speaker 1: That is not a money problem. That is a wisdom problem.
0:52
Speaker 1: Now Here is the question that should be keeping you
0:55
Speaker 1: up at night. What if the blueprint to building wealth
0:58
Speaker 1: that actually lasts, wealth you can pass down to your
1:01
Speaker 1: children and your grandchildren is not hidden inside some complex
1:06
Speaker 1: Wall Street algorithm or locked behind a hedge fund manager's
1:10
Speaker 1: velvet rope. What if it has been sitting right there
1:13
Speaker 1: on your shelf inside a three thousand year old book
1:16
Speaker 1: of wisdom that most people open on Sundays but never
1:20
Speaker 1: think to open when the bills are due. In the
1:22
Speaker 1: next twenty minutes, I am going to walk you through
1:25
Speaker 1: twelve generational wealth rules directly from the Book of Proverbs
1:30
Speaker 1: that will completely transform your family's financial future and break
1:35
Speaker 1: the cycle of debt that has been running through your
1:37
Speaker 1: bloodline for far too long. These are not motivational slogans,
1:42
Speaker 1: They are not feel good church quotes. They are battle tested,
1:46
Speaker 1: God breathed financial principles that work, and I am going
1:49
Speaker 1: to show you exactly how to apply each one to
1:52
Speaker 1: your life starting today. Let's establish something important right at
1:56
Speaker 1: the top. Proverbs thirteen, verse twenty two tells us plainly,
2:00
Speaker 1: a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.
2:04
Speaker 1: That is not just a nice thought, That is a
2:06
Speaker 1: divine mandate. God expects us to think generationally, not just
2:11
Speaker 1: about today's groceries or this month's rent, but about the
2:15
Speaker 1: financial reality our great grandchildren will inherit because of the
2:19
Speaker 1: decisions we make right now. The primary author of Proverbs
2:23
Speaker 1: was King Solomon, a man whose personal net worth historians
2:27
Speaker 1: estimate at around two trillion dollars in today's money. He
2:30
Speaker 1: was not just philosophically wealthy. He was practically structurally generationally wealthy.
2:37
Speaker 1: He did not just understand money, he mastered it at
2:40
Speaker 1: a level that no modern billionaire has ever matched. And
2:43
Speaker 1: the wisdom he wrote down is available to you for
2:47
Speaker 1: free right now, in the most printed book in human history.
2:51
Speaker 1: And this wisdom is not just theoretical. Take David, a
2:56
Speaker 1: regular guy working construction in Texas, no fancy degree, no
3:00
Speaker 1: rich parents, no investment portfolio. By applying just one of
3:05
Speaker 1: the rules we are about to cover, he wiped out
3:08
Speaker 1: forty five thousand dollars in credit card debt in eighteen
3:11
Speaker 1: months and fully funded his children's five twenty nine college plans.
3:16
Speaker 1: If David can do it, you can do it. Let's go.
3:20
Speaker 1: Rule one the trap of getting rich quick. Proverbs twenty eight,
3:24
Speaker 1: verse twenty says a faithful person will be richly blessed,
3:29
Speaker 1: but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
3:33
Speaker 1: Here is the cold, hard truth. Chasing the next crypto pump,
3:38
Speaker 1: the hot stock tip, or the overnight drop shipping course
3:42
Speaker 1: is one of the fastest ways to destroy the wealth
3:44
Speaker 1: you already have. Wealth is not built in a microwave.
3:48
Speaker 1: It is built in a slow cooker, low heat, consistent ingredients,
3:53
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of patience. Meet James from Florida.
3:57
Speaker 1: He drained thirty thousand dollars from his four O one
4:00
Speaker 1: K to chase a hot tech stock tip from a
4:03
Speaker 1: guy in a Facebook group. He lost eighty percent of
4:06
Speaker 1: it in one week. Meanwhile, his boring, unsexy s and
4:10
Speaker 1: P five hundred index fund quietly grew by ten percent
4:14
Speaker 1: that same year. James learned the hard way what Solomon
4:18
Speaker 1: was trying to tell us three thousand years ago. Your
4:21
Speaker 1: action step for rule one, unsubscribed from one, get rich
4:24
Speaker 1: quick newsletter or guru email list in your inbox today.
4:28
Speaker 1: One start there. Rule two. The co signing curse. Proverbs
4:34
Speaker 1: twenty two, Verses twenty six and twenty seven warn us,
4:38
Speaker 1: do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or
4:41
Speaker 1: puts up security for debts. Co signing alone for someone
4:45
Speaker 1: else is not kindness. It is financial suicide dressed up
4:50
Speaker 1: as generosity. When you put your name on someone else's debt,
4:54
Speaker 1: you are accepting one hundred percent of the risk with
4:57
Speaker 1: zero percent of the control. Linda was a nurse in Ohio,
5:01
Speaker 1: a hard working, generous woman who loved her family deeply.
5:05
Speaker 1: She co signed a twenty five thousand dollars car loan
5:07
Speaker 1: for her nephew because she wanted to help him get
5:10
Speaker 1: on his feet. When he missed payments, her credit score tanked,
5:14
Speaker 1: and when she tried to refinance her own home mortgage
5:16
Speaker 1: six months later, her interest rate had spiked so dramatically
5:20
Speaker 1: that it cost her an extra forty thousand dollars over
5:23
Speaker 1: the life of the loan. Her generosity cost her more
5:26
Speaker 1: than the original loan itself. Your action step for rule
5:30
Speaker 1: two make a firm, non negotiable rule for your household.
5:35
Speaker 1: Starting today. You will never co sign alone for anyone period,
5:41
Speaker 1: not for family, not for friends, not for anyone. Rule three.
5:46
Speaker 1: The reality of debt Proverbs twenty two, verse seven cuts
5:50
Speaker 1: straight to the heart. The rich rule over the poor,
5:54
Speaker 1: and the borrower is slave to the lender. This is
5:57
Speaker 1: not a metaphor. This is your monthly bank's statement. Every
6:01
Speaker 1: dollar you pay in minimum payments to a credit card
6:03
Speaker 1: company is a dollar that will never work for your
6:06
Speaker 1: children's future. You simply cannot build generational wealth while simultaneously
6:11
Speaker 1: paying twenty four percent annual interest to visa or MasterCard.
6:16
Speaker 1: Marcus and Sarah were a couple earning one hundred and
6:18
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars a year. By every external measure, they
6:22
Speaker 1: looked successful, but they felt completely broke every single month.
6:26
Speaker 1: Because one thousand, two hundred dollars every single month was
6:30
Speaker 1: going toward just the minimum payments on their two credit cards.
6:34
Speaker 1: They were not building anything. They were treading water in
6:37
Speaker 1: a debt trap. Your action step for rule three, take
6:41
Speaker 1: your highest interest credit card out of your wallet right
6:43
Speaker 1: now and freeze it literally in a block of ice
6:46
Speaker 1: in your freezer. Make it physically inconvenient to use it impulsively.
6:50
Speaker 1: Rule four the power of diligence. Proverbs ten, verse four
6:56
Speaker 1: says lazy hands make for poverty, but hands bring wealth.
7:01
Speaker 1: Here is what most people get backwards about passive income.
7:05
Speaker 1: You cannot skip the active phase to get to the
7:08
Speaker 1: passive phase. Every passive income stream you have ever heard
7:11
Speaker 1: of was built on a foundation of intense, consistent, unglamorous
7:16
Speaker 1: hard work. The passive part only comes after the diligent season.
7:21
Speaker 1: Think about Robert, a public school teacher in Georgia who
7:25
Speaker 1: started a powerwashing side hustle on saturdays. Nobody wrote articles
7:30
Speaker 1: about him. Nobody followed his Instagram. He just showed up,
7:34
Speaker 1: worked hard, and served his customers well every single weekend.
7:39
Speaker 1: That diligent work paid off his sixty thousand dollars in
7:42
Speaker 1: student loans in under three years, and today that side
7:45
Speaker 1: business generates income while he sleeps. Your action step for
7:49
Speaker 1: rule four, audit your weekend schedule. Find just two hours,
7:54
Speaker 1: two hours that you can redirect toward building a new
7:57
Speaker 1: income stream starting this week. Rule five the danger of
8:01
Speaker 1: keeping up with the Joneses. Proverbs twenty one, verse twenty
8:05
Speaker 1: tells us the wise store up choice food and olive oil,
8:09
Speaker 1: but fools gulp theirs down. Consumerism is the single greatest
8:14
Speaker 1: wealth killer in America. To day, the average American earns
8:17
Speaker 1: a decent income and still ends up with almost nothing
8:20
Speaker 1: in savings because every dollar they make gets spent immediately
8:24
Speaker 1: trying to look successful rather than actually becoming successful. Consider
8:28
Speaker 1: two men. Mike earns one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
8:32
Speaker 1: a year, He leases an eighty thousand dollar truck, buys
8:36
Speaker 1: new clothes every season, and carries a zero balance in
8:39
Speaker 1: his savings account. Dave earns sixty five thousand dollars a year.
8:44
Speaker 1: He drives a ten year old Honda Civic, shops at
8:47
Speaker 1: thrift stores without apology, and maxes out his roth IRA
8:51
Speaker 1: every single year. In twenty years, Dave will be a
8:54
Speaker 1: millionaire and Mike will still be making payments. Dave is
8:58
Speaker 1: playing the long game. Mike is playing a performance for strangers.
9:02
Speaker 1: Your action step for rule five right now before you
9:06
Speaker 1: close this video, automate a fifty dollars weekly transfer to
9:10
Speaker 1: your savings account, so the money moves before you even
9:13
Speaker 1: have a chance to spend it. Rule six The necessity
9:16
Speaker 1: of wise counsel. Proverbs fifteen, verse twenty two says plans
9:21
Speaker 1: fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed.
9:26
Speaker 1: You do not know what you do not know, and
9:29
Speaker 1: nowhere is that more expensive than in the areas of
9:32
Speaker 1: taxes and real estate. Most people leave thousands of dollars
9:35
Speaker 1: on the table every single year because they are too
9:38
Speaker 1: proud or too frugal to hire someone who actually knows
9:41
Speaker 1: the tax code. Emily was a small business owner in
9:44
Speaker 1: Nashville who had been filing her own taxes with a
9:47
Speaker 1: popular online software for six years. She thought she was
9:51
Speaker 1: being smart and saving money. Then she hired a certified
9:55
Speaker 1: CPA for the first time that CPA found legal deductions
9:59
Speaker 1: and strategies that saved Emily fifteen thousand dollars in taxes
10:03
Speaker 1: in a single year. One conversation changed her financial trajectory permanently.
10:08
Speaker 1: Your action step for rule six book a consultation with
10:12
Speaker 1: a fiduciary financial advisor this month, not next year. This month.
10:17
Speaker 1: We are exactly halfway through. And if you think those
10:20
Speaker 1: first six rules where eye opening, do not go anywhere,
10:24
Speaker 1: the next six rules go even deeper, and we are
10:27
Speaker 1: building toward Rule twelve, which is the ultimate little known
10:31
Speaker 1: secret that the top one percent of families use to
10:34
Speaker 1: ensure their great grandchildren never have to stress about a
10:38
Speaker 1: mortgage or a medical bill. Stay with me. Rule seven
10:42
Speaker 1: the law of generosity. Proverbs eleven, verse twenty four says
10:48
Speaker 1: one person gives freely, yet gains even more. Another withholds unduly,
10:53
Speaker 1: but comes to poverty. This is the paradox that Wall
10:56
Speaker 1: Street will never teach you. The families that give consistently
11:01
Speaker 1: and generously are the families that tend to accumulate the
11:04
Speaker 1: most over time. Generosity breaks a poverty mindset. It declares
11:09
Speaker 1: to your own spirit that you are not operating from scarcity.
11:13
Speaker 1: You are operating from a God given abundance. The Johnson
11:17
Speaker 1: family from North Carolina committed to tithing ten percent of
11:20
Speaker 1: every paycheck, even during a season when it felt financially impossible.
11:25
Speaker 1: Within eighteen months, the father received an unexpected promotion, the
11:29
Speaker 1: wife's small business landed its largest client ever. They are
11:33
Speaker 1: fully convinced, and the numbers confirm that they're giving open
11:37
Speaker 1: doors that no financial strategy alone could have opened. Your
11:41
Speaker 1: action step for rule seven, set up an automatic tithe
11:45
Speaker 1: or recurring charitable donation today, even if it starts at
11:49
Speaker 1: just one percent. Start somewhere, and let God honor your obedience.
11:55
Speaker 1: Rule eight the cost of pride. Proverbs sixteen, verse eighteen
12:00
Speaker 1: states plainly, pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before
12:05
Speaker 1: a fall. In personal finance, pride most often looks like
12:09
Speaker 1: buying things you cannot truly afford, because you are more
12:12
Speaker 1: concerned with what people think of you than with what
12:15
Speaker 1: your bank account says. It is the business class upgrade
12:18
Speaker 1: you put on a credit card. It is the vacation
12:21
Speaker 1: you financed because your coworkers were posting beach photos on
12:24
Speaker 1: social media. Consider Anthony, a marketing manager in Atlanta earning
12:29
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand dollars a year, Anthony drove a least
12:33
Speaker 1: luxury car, wore designer clothes to the office, and hosted
12:37
Speaker 1: expensive dinner parties to impress clients. On the outside, he
12:41
Speaker 1: looked like a man who had it all figured out,
12:43
Speaker 1: But behind closed doors, Anthony had less than four hundred
12:47
Speaker 1: dollars in his savings account and had not contributed to
12:50
Speaker 1: his retirement fund in three years. He was spending every
12:53
Speaker 1: dollar maintaining an image that was quietly destroying his financial future.
12:58
Speaker 1: The moment Anthony made the decision to stop performing wealth
13:02
Speaker 1: and start building it, everything changed. Within two years of
13:06
Speaker 1: cutting vanity expenses and redirecting that money, he had fully
13:10
Speaker 1: funded his emergency account and opened his first brokerage account.
13:14
Speaker 1: Your action step for rule eight. Log into your subscriptions
13:18
Speaker 1: and identify one luxury or vanity expense that you are
13:22
Speaker 1: maintaining for appearances rather than for genuine value. Cancel it today.
13:27
Speaker 1: That money belongs to your children's future. And here is
13:30
Speaker 1: something I need you to stay for because Rule nine
13:33
Speaker 1: reveals a wealth building method that the virtuous woman in
13:36
Speaker 1: Proverbs used thousands of years ago that almost perfectly mirrors
13:40
Speaker 1: what the world's most successful investors are quietly doing right now.
13:45
Speaker 1: Do not miss it. Rule nine, the value of multiple streams.
13:50
Speaker 1: Proverbs thirty one, verse sixteen describes the virtuous woman this way.
13:55
Speaker 1: She considers a field and buys it out of her earnings,
14:00
Speaker 1: plants a vineyard, Notice the structure there. She evaluates first,
14:05
Speaker 1: then she acts, and she does not put everything into
14:08
Speaker 1: one field. She diversifies. She builds multiple streams of income,
14:13
Speaker 1: and she does it with wisdom, not with recklessness. This
14:17
Speaker 1: is the Biblical model for wealth building, and it is
14:20
Speaker 1: exactly what modern financial advisors will tell you three thousand
14:23
Speaker 1: years later. Think about the concept of multiple income streams
14:27
Speaker 1: not as a complicated financial strategy, but as simple biblical obedience.
14:32
Speaker 1: One stream dries up, two streams slow down. But the
14:36
Speaker 1: household that has planted multiple vineyards, a stable job, a
14:40
Speaker 1: side income, a retirement account, a rental property. That household
14:44
Speaker 1: weathers every economic storm. Your action step for Rule nine
14:48
Speaker 1: open a brokerage account this week and research one low
14:52
Speaker 1: cost broad market index fund. You do not need to
14:55
Speaker 1: invest a fortune on day one, You just need to begin.
14:59
Speaker 1: Rule The consequence of ignorance Proverbs twenty seven, verse twenty
15:04
Speaker 1: three commands us know well the state of your flocks,
15:08
Speaker 1: and put your heart into caring for your herds. In
15:11
Speaker 1: the modern world, your flocks are your bank accounts, your
15:15
Speaker 1: retirement funds, your credit score, and your net worth. And
15:19
Speaker 1: the terrifying reality is that most Americans have no idea
15:23
Speaker 1: what their actual financial picture looks like. They avoid checking
15:28
Speaker 1: because they are afraid of what they will see. But
15:30
Speaker 1: avoidance is not a financial strategy. Ignorance is not peaceful.
15:35
Speaker 1: It is expensive. Kevin and Michelle were a couple in
15:38
Speaker 1: their late forties who assumed their retirement was on track
15:41
Speaker 1: because they had both been contributing to their workplace four
15:44
Speaker 1: oh one K plans for years. When they finally sat
15:47
Speaker 1: down with a financial advisor for the first time, they
15:51
Speaker 1: discovered that their combined retirement accounts held only eighty thousand dollars,
15:56
Speaker 1: less than one quarter of what they needed to retire comfortably.
16:00
Speaker 1: Had they known a decade earlier, they could have course
16:03
Speaker 1: corrected easily. Instead, ignorance cost them years of compounding growth.
16:08
Speaker 1: They can never get back. Your action step for rule
16:11
Speaker 1: ten today, not tomorrow, not this weekend. Log into every
16:16
Speaker 1: bank account, every retirement account, and every investment account you have.
16:21
Speaker 1: Write down your actual net worth, even if the number
16:24
Speaker 1: is negative. Knowing it is the first step to changing it. Now,
16:28
Speaker 1: stay with me, because rule eleven is where most god fearing,
16:32
Speaker 1: hard working people make a silent financial mistake they would
16:35
Speaker 1: never call dishonesty, but that is costing their families thousands
16:39
Speaker 1: of dollars and opening a door that should stay firmly shut.
16:44
Speaker 1: You need to hear this before we get to the
16:46
Speaker 1: big finish Rule eleven. The integrity premium Proverbs ten verse
16:51
Speaker 1: nine says whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever
16:56
Speaker 1: takes crooked paths will be found out. Honest money last.
17:00
Speaker 1: Money earned through deception, manipulation, or cutting ethical corners almost
17:06
Speaker 1: always disappears, and often takes everything else with it when
17:10
Speaker 1: it goes. The fastest path to lasting generational wealth is
17:14
Speaker 1: also the most boring. Earn it honestly, report it accurately,
17:18
Speaker 1: and sleep well at night knowing that what you have
17:21
Speaker 1: built is clean and secure. Here is a story that
17:24
Speaker 1: does not get told enough. Thomas was a self employed
17:27
Speaker 1: contractor in Tennessee who had been quietly under reporting cash
17:31
Speaker 1: income for years, not dramatically, just a few thousand dollars
17:35
Speaker 1: here and there that never made it onto his tax return.
17:39
Speaker 1: He told himself it was harmless. Then an audit came.
17:43
Speaker 1: The back taxes, penalties, and interest totaled over thirty two
17:47
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. His business reputation was damaged. His wife found
17:51
Speaker 1: out the full truth for the first time. The financial
17:54
Speaker 1: hit nearly broke his family. The crooked path he had
17:57
Speaker 1: walked for years, convinced it was saving him money, ended
18:01
Speaker 1: up costing him everything he had worked to protect. Integrity
18:05
Speaker 1: is not just a moral choice, it is a financial strategy.
18:09
Speaker 1: The man who builds on a clean foundation sleeps without fear,
18:13
Speaker 1: and the wealth he passes to his children is not
18:16
Speaker 1: shadowed by shame or threatened by discovery. Your action step
18:20
Speaker 1: for rule eleven, do a financial honesty audit right now.
18:25
Speaker 1: Are you accurately reporting your income? Are there any financial
18:28
Speaker 1: arrangements in your life that you would be embarrassed for
18:31
Speaker 1: your children to know about. Clean those up now before
18:34
Speaker 1: they become costly. Please consult with a certified tax professional
18:39
Speaker 1: before making any changes to previously filed returns. Rule twelve
18:44
Speaker 1: the generational vision We save the most important one for last.
18:48
Speaker 1: Proverbs thirteen, verse twenty two. The verse This entire video
18:53
Speaker 1: was built around a good man leaves an inheritance to
18:56
Speaker 1: his children's children. This is the ultimate goal. This is
19:00
Speaker 1: the finish line, not just a comfortable retirement for yourself,
19:04
Speaker 1: but a foundation so strong that your grandchildren start life
19:08
Speaker 1: on a higher level than you did. This is what
19:10
Speaker 1: breaks generational curses. This is what changes family trees. This
19:15
Speaker 1: is what transforms a blood line from one defined by
19:18
Speaker 1: debt and struggle into one defined by stewardship and legacy.
19:23
Speaker 1: The tools for doing this are available to every single
19:26
Speaker 1: person watching this video right now. A term life insurance policy,
19:31
Speaker 1: a will, a revocable living trust, a funded five twenty
19:35
Speaker 1: nine education account. These are not complicated instruments reserved for
19:40
Speaker 1: the ultra wealthy. They are simply intentional decisions that any
19:44
Speaker 1: family can make, regardless of income level. Starting to day,
19:48
Speaker 1: think about what it would mean for your granddaughter to
19:50
Speaker 1: start her adult life with zero student loan debt because
19:53
Speaker 1: of a decision you made this year. Think about your
19:56
Speaker 1: grandson buying his first home without needing a cose because
20:00
Speaker 1: the trust you set up decades ago gave him a foundation.
20:04
Speaker 1: These are not fantasies. They are the natural outcome of
20:08
Speaker 1: applying biblical wisdom with consistency and patience. Your action step
20:13
Speaker 1: for rule twelve, and this one is the most important
20:16
Speaker 1: action step in this entire video. Log into your four
20:20
Speaker 1: h one K and your life insurance policy today and
20:24
Speaker 1: check your beneficiary designations. Many people have outdated beneficiaries from
20:29
Speaker 1: a previous relationship or a former life stage. An incorrect
20:34
Speaker 1: beneficiary designation can send your entire life's work to the
20:37
Speaker 1: wrong person. The moment you are gone fix it today,
20:41
Speaker 1: that single action could be worth hundreds of thousands of
20:44
Speaker 1: dollars to your family. I want to close the content
20:47
Speaker 1: portion of this video by introducing you to the Harrison
20:50
Speaker 1: family from Michigan. Ten years ago, they hit absolute rock bottom.
20:55
Speaker 1: They were eighty five thousand dollars in consumer debt. They
20:58
Speaker 1: were facing foreclosure on their home. The financial stress was
21:02
Speaker 1: tearing their marriage apart and affecting their children in ways
21:05
Speaker 1: they could see every single day at the dinner table.
21:09
Speaker 1: Then one night, almost by accident, they stumbled onto these
21:13
Speaker 1: exact verses in proverbs during a family Bible study, and
21:17
Speaker 1: something shifted. They stopped playing the world's game of debt
21:20
Speaker 1: and impulse spending and appearance management, and they started playing
21:25
Speaker 1: God's game diligence, stewardship, generosity, integrity, and long term vision.
21:31
Speaker 1: It was not easy. There were months when it felt
21:34
Speaker 1: impossibly hard. There were sacrifices that stung. There were Friday
21:39
Speaker 1: nights when every other family on their street seemed to
21:42
Speaker 1: be going out to dinner while the Harrisons ate at
21:44
Speaker 1: home and transferred the money they would have spent into
21:47
Speaker 1: their debt payoff fund instead. But they held the line.
21:50
Speaker 1: They applied these principles one at a time, rule by rule,
21:54
Speaker 1: month by month, year by year. Today the Harrisons are
21:59
Speaker 1: completely deaf free. Their home is paid off, their children
22:03
Speaker 1: have college funds that are growing quietly in the background.
22:06
Speaker 1: And last month they did something that made the whole
22:09
Speaker 1: family cry together around the kitchen table. They fully funded
22:12
Speaker 1: their first granddaughter's college savings account. A little girl who
22:16
Speaker 1: is four years old will never have to take out
22:18
Speaker 1: a student loan because her grandparents made a decision a
22:21
Speaker 1: decade ago to align their finances with God's wisdom instead
22:25
Speaker 1: of the world system. That is generational wealth. That is
22:29
Speaker 1: what we are building here. At the very beginning of
22:32
Speaker 1: this video, we talked about how ninety percent of families
22:35
Speaker 1: lose their wealth by the third generation. That is a
22:38
Speaker 1: devastating statistic. But here is the thing. We do not
22:42
Speaker 1: have to be part of that statistic. When we align
22:44
Speaker 1: our finances with the wisdom God has already given us,
22:48
Speaker 1: we do not just fix our bank accounts. We break
22:51
Speaker 1: generational curses. We shift the entire trajectory of our family line.
22:57
Speaker 1: We change our family tree forever, and the ripple effects
23:00
Speaker 1: of the decisions you make today will be felt by
23:03
Speaker 1: people who have not even been born yet. That is
23:06
Speaker 1: not a Wall Street promise. That is a God promise.
23:09
Speaker 1: Here is what I want you to do right now.
23:12
Speaker 1: If you are ready to draw a line in the
23:14
Speaker 1: sand today, if you are done letting debt, pride, and
23:17
Speaker 1: short term thinking rob your family's future, go down to
23:20
Speaker 1: the comments right now and type these exact words. I
23:23
Speaker 1: am building wealth for my children's children. Let's make that
23:27
Speaker 1: declaration out loud together as a community of believers who
23:31
Speaker 1: are serious about leaving a legacy. And I know you
23:35
Speaker 1: have someone in your life right now who is drowning
23:37
Speaker 1: in financial stress, a friend, a sibling, a coworker, someone
23:43
Speaker 1: who needs this message today. Share this video with them.
23:47
Speaker 1: It might be the exact answer to the prayer they
23:49
Speaker 1: prayed last night before they went to sleep. Finally, make
23:53
Speaker 1: sure you hit that subscribe button if you have not already,
23:56
Speaker 1: because next week I am breaking down the number one
24:00
Speaker 1: reason God's people stay stuck in the middle class generation
24:03
Speaker 1: after generation, and more importantly, exactly how you can break
24:07
Speaker 1: out of it. This is going to be one of
24:09
Speaker 1: the most important videos on this channel. You do not
