At some point, I had to stop and ask myself: how much was my faith really costing me?

In this candid conversation, an EX-Jehovah’s Witness and an EX-House of Jacob minister compare their journeys of waking up, breaking financial manipulation, and learning how to think critically about giving, guilt, and spiritual control.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to “give until it hurts,” this talk will help you see how faith and finances can coexist without fear or exploitation.

Watch the full discussion and decide for yourself what true giving really means.
