72: What the rich young ruler story in Luke 18 really means

Hey there, side income creators! In today’s episode, I’m diving into a passage that has been misunderstood by so many Christians—Luke 18 and the story of the rich young ruler.

You’ve probably heard that it’s harder for a rich person to enter heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But does that mean Christians shouldn’t have wealth?

I’ll break down what Jesus was really saying in this passage, why it’s not about money itself but about where our security lies, and how both wealth and financial struggles can become idols in our lives.

Plus, I’ll share a powerful passage from Proverbs 30 that’s been reshaping how I think about financial contentment.

If you’ve ever wrestled with money—whether you have a lot or not enough—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really means to seek God first and trust Him with our finances.

📌 Listen in as I cover:
✔️ The true meaning of “the eye of the needle”
✔️ Why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything
✔️ How both wealth and financial stress can distract us from God
✔️ The powerful prayer from Proverbs 30:8 that has changed my perspective
✔️ What it means to trust God fully with your money
