Disturbing The Peace with John Amanchukwu
"God never called a man to leave his family a fundraiser. He called him to leave them a legacy." That's the opening line Pastor John Amanchukwu delivers as he introduces today's guest — and it's the entire thesis of one of the most substantive Christian financial stewardship conversations on Disturbing the Peace this year. Today's guest: Dr. Christopher A. Stone — senior pastor and founder of Unity Worship Center Church of God in Christ in Burlington, North Carolina; ordained elder; District Superintendent of the Success District; First Administrative Assistant to Bishop Patrick L. Wooden Sr. in the North Carolina Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction; founder of Successful Mind Ministries; Executive Director of People That Care, Incorporated; and author of Who Told You That? Overcoming Fear and Failure. The conversation opens with what Stone calls the most heartbreaking pattern he sees repeatedly as a pastor — going to funeral homes with families who have just lost a father, husband, or son, and discovering there's no life insurance. No preparation. No plan. Just a GoFundMe page and a family in crisis on top of grief. "You ain't too young to prepare, and you ain't too old to be unprepared. Death is inevitable. It's coming to all of us. Don't wait until you got a 60- or 70-year-old man that's lived a long time and passed away with nothing prepared." Then Stone walks John — and every viewer watching — through what the Bible actually teaches about wealth, work, and inheritance. He opens with Proverbs 13:22 — "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." Stone unpacks what "children's children" actually means. Not just what you leave your kids. What you leave your grandkids. And your great-grandkids. Two generations ahead. That's the biblical standard. He walks through Proverbs 6 — the passage on debt where God tells the man in debt to "deliver yourself. Don't give sleep to your eyes. Don't give slumber to your eyelids. As a deer running from a cheetah — that's how urgent this is." Stone applies it directly to the modern American Christian who has surrendered his greatest wealth-building tool (his income) to Best Buy, the Cadillac dealer, rent-a-center, and the credit card company. "When you have lived as a consumer, you have been taking your greatest wealth-building tool — your income — and giving it to people who are charging you interest. And these things you're buying are no longer valuable. Matter of fact, they're decreasing in value. You're giving your strength. You're giving your life to entities that are taking your ability to get wealth." 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
