Finding Purpose In Your Paycheck With John Coleman

What if the money conversations in your house didn’t start with stress, but instead, began with purpose?

In this episode, Kent and Lawson sit down with investor and author John Coleman to talk about his latest book “Good Money” and the difference between chasing “a little more” and living with contentment, clarity, and kingdom priorities.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “more money” rarely fixes money anxiety
  • How to set a financial finish line with your spouse
  • What “human flourishing” looks like for a Christian family
  • Practical ways to find purpose at work, even in a tough season
  • A simple approach to teaching kids: earn, spend, save, give
  • How to build family generosity without guilt or showmanship

John breaks down why money is a tool, not a finish line, how dads can avoid the lifestyle trap, and how to teach kids to handle money with wisdom using simple, repeatable habits. You will also hear a hopeful take for the dad who feels stuck in a job he doesn’t love right now, with practical ways to find meaning and serve well in the work that’s in front of him.
