Leah and Malaine both made serious money in the New Age, and both of them put every tool down when they came to Jesus. Lately they have been going back through the archive of their own lives and asking which of those tools were actually wrong and which ones were simply being used for the wrong kingdom. Sowing and reaping. Reciprocity. Showing up in a room in a way that shifts it. Speaking over your own life. The answer they keep landing on is that the principles work because God wrote them, and the body of Christ refuses to touch most of them because they sound New Age.

Meanwhile one misquoted verse has a critical mass of believers convinced that money itself is evil, handing ten percent they do not have to buildings that are doing perfectly well, and calling the arrangement obedience. Malaine on why attachment to the outcome blocks the very thing people are giving for. Leah on poverty consciousness, on Caroline Leaf and neural pathways, and on why she tithes to poor people. Then the personal half, on deconstruction, the exodus out of traditional church, and their decision to stop walking the tightrope on this podcast. So if the principles are real and the verse says something else, why is everybody broke?

"People are putting their money into tithing like it's a magic pill. And because they're doing it, then God owes them. God should be blessing me because I'm doing the right thing. I'm ticking off all the boxes."

-Malaine Lea Butler

Key Takeaways

• The verse almost every Christian influencer gets wrong, and the single word that changes the whole meaning of it.
• Both hosts made a lot of money in the New Age, and what they now say about which of those practices were actually wrong.
• What God told Malaine about how she dresses before she walks into the basketball courts, and what happened when she did it.
• Why tithing while attached to the outcome blocks the thing you are tithing for.
• Caroline Leaf, neural pathways, and why Leah says belief alone will not get anybody out of lack.
• Where Leah and Sean actually send their tithe, and the family in Bali who never asked for it.
• Naaman, seven dips in a dirty river, and why there is no formula for your breakthrough.
• Gehazi, and what he did after the healing that got him leprosy.
• What both hosts are seeing right now about people leaving traditional church, and why they call deconstruction a good thing.

Featured Scripture

1 Timothy 6:10

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (KJV)

Application: Read the first five words slowly, because they are the ones that get dropped. The love of it. Paul is describing an appetite, the thing Leah calls worshiping at the altar of mammon, which she did for years and can describe from the inside. Money itself sits in the verse as the object of a disordered desire rather than the source of evil. Strip those words out, which is what happens every week from pulpits and reels, and you hand an entire body of believers a reason to be afraid of a tool. Read it whole, and the warning lands where Paul aimed it, on the heart and not the bank account.
