You Think You Can't Afford to Give - Here's Why That's Wrong
*You think you can't afford to give - but what if you're richer than you know?*
In today's Battle Drill, we tackle the biggest myth about money that keeps most of us stuck. We'll look at what Scripture says about wealth, stewardship, and why gratitude is the gateway to generosity.
If you've ever looked at your bank account and felt like you don't have enough to give, this one is for you.

*🙏 Today's Challenge*
Tonight, spend two minutes with God. Thank him for something specific you have today that someone else doesn't. Be specific. Let it land. When gratitude settles in your heart, giving stops being a duty. It becomes completely natural.
