How to Hear the Holy Spirit About Your Finances (with Alex Seeley)

She prayed for seven years for a breakthrough. The more she prayed, the worse things got. And she ended up on the bathroom floor saying she didn't want to be alive anymore. What the Holy Spirit showed her in that moment — about control, about fear disguised as faith, about the difference between begging and believing — is something I haven't been able to stop thinking about. In this episode, Linda and I sit down with Alex Seeley — author of The Divine Counselor — for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show. Alex shares how a 20-year eating disorder rooted in unforgiveness, a $23 last-dollar miracle when she and her husband gave everything to move to America, and a word from a stranger about a "tissue box" that just keeps refilling shaped her understanding of what it actually means to walk with the Holy Spirit. We also talk about why Linda used to go shopping when things got tight financially — and what the Holy Spirit revealed was really going on underneath that. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE Here's a little of what we cover in this episode: The difference between praying from fear and praying from faith (they can look identical from the outside) How a 20-year eating disorder rooted in unforgiveness was never going to "just work itself out" Why there's a 24/7 counselor available to you right now who's better than any therapist you could book an appointment with The $23 miracle: what happened when Alex and Henry gave their last dollars before moving to America Linda's confession about going shopping whenever money was tight — and what the Holy Spirit revealed about why The difference between conviction and condemnation (this reframes a lot) What it looks like when your seed goes into the next season — not just into an offering bucket BIBLE VERSES MENTIONED Acts 1:8 Isaiah 1 John 14:16 Romans 8:28 1 Peter 5:7 Philippians 4:13 DISCLAIMER Obligatory legal disclaimer: I'm a financial educator, not your financial advisor, investment advisor, tax pro, or lawyer.
