Financially Faithful Girls: Stewardship, Spending, and Godly Wisdom with Matt Bell

Money is one of the most practical—and spiritual—areas of our lives, yet it’s often one of the least intentionally taught within the home. 

In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay welcomes financial author and stewardship expert Matt Bell for an important conversation about raising girls who honor God with their finances. From everyday spending decisions to long-term financial planning, this episode explores how parents can disciple their daughters to think Biblically about money from an early age. 

Together, Patti and Matt tackle some of the most common questions families face today: Is all debt bad, or is there a place for wise borrowing? How can parents help their daughters avoid the burden of overwhelming student loans? And what’s the best way to teach financial responsibility—through cash, debit cards, or even credit? 

This conversation also highlights the deeper heart behind financial stewardship. In a culture driven by consumption and comparison, girls need to learn contentment, discernment, and generosity. Matt shares how giving isn’t just a financial practice—it’s a spiritual discipline that helps shape a heart aligned with God’s purposes. 

Whether your daughter is just beginning to learn the value of money or preparing to step into adulthood, this episode will equip you with practical tools and Biblical encouragement to guide her toward a future marked by wisdom, responsibility, and faithful stewardship. 

Because when girls understand that everything they have comes from God, they are better prepared to use it for His glory.
