Colossians 2:8 warns, “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Our view of the world shapes our lives especially how we manage money. Rob talks about that first with Paul David Tripp. 
Pastor Paul David Tripp is the author of more than 30 books and videos on Christian living and his latest book is Redeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts. In this MoneyWise Live, Rob and Paul covers these topics and questions:
<ul><li>You say that money issues are heart issues and missing that point is very important. Was that a point that lead you to write this book?</li><li>Money is the clearest indicator of what's happening in someone's life spiritually. You talk a lot about identity. What is it about identity that we need to understand?</li><li>We can't solve problems with more money, right?</li><li>How would you articulate a Biblical/world view of money?</li><li>What was the passage in Ephesians that changed everything for your view of money?</li><li>As giving calibrates our hearts to the Ultimate Giver, breaking the grip of money over our lives, what do you believe the act of giving does to our heart?</li><li>Can you apply to this in marriage as well?</li></ul>Next, Rob answers these questions at 800-525-7000 or via email at Questions@MoneyWiseLive.org:<ul><li>Should you consider loaning your daughter money?</li><li>What's the rule of thumb on how much you should pay in maintenance on a vehicle vs. buying its replacement?</li><li>If your 34 daughter is currently dating a 38 year old man, both of whom are soundly based in Christian principles but he is unstructured when it comes to finances and possibly generous to a fault, where could you suggest he go for some counseling?</li><li>If you're 58, your $348,000 home is paid, have a condo you rent out with a mortgage but clear $400 each month, have a 401(k) with $1.8M and want to retire at 60, are you on the right track?</li><li>If you're 58 and wondering if you should focus on paying off the $250,000 balance on your mortgage or contributing to your retirement, how can you determine which direction to take?</li><li>If your lender on a new mortgage has most recently sent a rate of 4.375% after they sent a contract in writing stating with a locked rate of 3.75%, is there anything you/they can do to bring it to the original rate?</li></ul>Be sure to check out the rest of MoneyWise.org to connect with a MoneyWise Coach or access our books and our many free helpful resources.
