Faith, Finance, and Freedom with Bertha Winston
Manage episode 484029232 series 3529867
Evangelist Bertha Winston opens up about her remarkable journey from financial struggle to global influence in this powerful conversation about faith and finances. As a Forbes-featured financial expert whose accolades include Billboard's 2024 Top Woman in Business and Ministry, Bertha shares the pivotal moment that changed everything - realizing at age 62 she wasn't financially prepared for retirement.
With refreshing honesty, Bertha reveals how she transformed from living paycheck-to-paycheck, using credit cards as emergency funds, to developing strategies for true financial independence. Her approach uniquely blends biblical principles with practical money wisdom, demonstrating how scripture provides both the foundation and roadmap for economic success. "You cannot work your way to wealth," she explains. "You have to strategize yourself to wealth."
The conversation goes deeper than typical money advice, exploring how business ownership creates tax advantages, why passive income streams are crucial for retirement, and how changing your relationship with money can transform your entire life trajectory. Bertha challenges listeners to recognize that while 80% of Americans lack even $500 in emergency savings, breaking free from financial bondage is possible at any age.
What makes this discussion truly special is Bertha's holistic definition of wealth that extends far beyond the balance sheet. At 74, she describes these recent years as "the epitome" of her life, proving that true prosperity encompasses peace, joy, health, and meaningful relationships alongside financial abundance. Her powerful testimony serves as both an inspiration and a practical guide for anyone seeking to build a legacy of economic wisdom.
