What role does God play in your personal and family finances?
When he lost his job during the financial crisis of 2008, Bob Lotich heard God calling him to do something crazy: make his blog his full-time job. There was just one problem: the blog was bringing in less than $100 a month. But Bob trusted God, and within nine months he was earning more than he had working for a big financial firm.
In our interview, Bob shares what God has taught him through that experience and other experiences with giving God control of his finances.
