A Biblical Worldview of Providing for Family

In Part 5 of our Biblical Worldview of Money and Wealth series, we tackle a challenging but vital question: how do you faithfully provide for family without enabling harmful behavior? Drawing from passages like 1 Timothy 5:8 and James 2:14–16, this episode explores the biblical responsibility to care for those in our household—especially those who are elderly, ill, or truly unable to provide for themselves. Scripture makes it clear that genuine faith requires tangible action and compassionate provision.
At the same time, we examine the wisdom of Proverbs and Paul’s teaching on work, reminding listeners that consistent financial rescue can sometimes enable laziness rather than promote growth. This episode offers balanced, biblical guidance to help you navigate compassion with discernment—honoring God as you protect, provide for, and wisely support your family.

[00:00] 📖 Biblical Compassion vs. Enabling Destructive Behavior
00:00 | Shawn: When a family member needs financial help how do you know if you’re showing Biblical compassion or enabling destructive behavior
00:07 | Shawn: Many Christians struggle with this tension wanting to honor God by caring for family while also recognizing that sometimes the most loving thing is to let consequences do their work
00:18 | Shawn: Today we’ll explore the Biblical wisdom that helps you navigate these difficult decisions
00:23 | Shawn: Let’s get some perspective
[00:32] 🏠 Biblical Definition of Family and Financial Responsibility
00:32 | Shawn: Welcome to Christian Financial Perspectives
00:35 | Shawn: My name is Shawn Peters
00:36 | Shawn: This is Bob Barber
00:37 | Shawn: And today we’re covering the Biblical way to provide for family and the Bible calls on us as Christians to provide financially for our families since most people no longer grow their own food make their own clothing or build their own homes from trees and bricks
00:58 | Shawn: When we talk about this we use our financial means today to buy essentials like food water clothing and shelter as well as other needs and wants
01:08 | Bob: Yeah
01:08 | Shawn: And Bob thank you for putting this together
01:11 | Shawn: I didn’t contribute much really to this particular script
01:14 | Shawn: That’s
01:14 | Bob: okay
01:15 | Shawn: So if you like this then Bob wrote it
01:17 | Shawn: If you
01:17 | Bob: – Don’t like it
01:18 | Shawn: sorry if you if you don’t like it Bob wrote
01:20 | Bob: it
01:20 | Bob: Yeah exactly
01:20 | Bob: If
01:20 | Shawn: you do like it I helped I helped more than Implied
01:24 | Shawn: So why don’t you start us off with a definition of family according to Biblical standards
01:29 | Bob: Well Shawn I think you added that part in there so I want you to do that
01:33 | Shawn: Oh okay
01:34 | Bob: All right
01:34 | Shawn: I trying to throw
01:35 | Bob: throw throw you know you’re gonna you’re gonna try to throw me off
01:37 | Bob: I’m gonna
01:37 | Shawn: say
01:37 | Bob: it’s mom and a dad and kids and you know the def- the Biblical definition of family-
01:43 | Shawn: Well
01:43 | Bob: it’s
01:43 | Shawn: okay is
01:44 | Bob: different
01:44 | Shawn: in
01:44 | Bob: the secular worldview
01:45 | Shawn: It’s
01:45 | Shawn: but we’re gonna start- Okay with scripture
01:46 | Shawn: All
01:46 | Shawn: makes it
01:47 | Bob: easy
01:48 | Shawn: But Galatians 6:10 “Therefore as we have the opportunity let us do good to all people especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” So those in Christ are considered family
01:58 | Bob: That’s right
01:59 | Bob: Yep
01:59 | Shawn: And God is our Father
02:00 | Bob: Yep
02:01 | Bob: Yep
02:02 | Bob: Exactly
02:03 | Bob: you know you’re you’re not only my son-in-law but you’re e- even if you weren’t my son-in-law you’d be considered my brother through Jesus
02:13 | Bob: Exactly
02:14 | Bob: ‘Cause ’cause that that’s our common
02:15 | Bob: We have that commonality
02:17 | Shawn: Through through Christ we’ve been adopted into the same family
02:20 | Bob: That’s that’s right
02:21 | Bob: And you know doing good for others is an investment in them that you hope’s gonna pay off for now-
02:27 | Shawn: Yeah
02:27 | Bob: and in eternity and I think Christians need to strive to do good for all people though
02:33 | Shawn: Yeah
02:34 | Bob: and with a priority o- on helping fellow believers who are unable to help themselves
02:40 | Shawn: Yeah
02:40 | Bob: And you notice I said that who are unable to help themselves
02:43 | Shawn: Right
02:43 | Bob: Because we’re
02:44 | Bob: This one thing as I was writing this Shawn that kept hitting me over and over was we’re talking about providing but we don’t wanna enable bad behavior
02:53 | Shawn: Yeah
02:53 | Bob: So- There’s a big
02:54 | Shawn: difference between and honestly it seems like the recent
02:59 | Shawn: Well as of this recording it was still somewhat recent but the whole thing in in the government and SNAP benefits and yet you see tons of people that has nothing to do with them being on hard times or not being able to work
03:12 | Shawn: They just don’t want to
03:13 | Bob: Yeah
03:14 | Shawn: and that I think a government example but in in this case as as Christians that is kind of the same distinction is is it’s it’s helping people who can’t help themselves for whatever the reason may be may be physical disability may be mental issue- may be combination or may be just a temporary thing that just some bad things
03:36 | Shawn: Unfortunately they’re going through a valley but people who just don’t want to do anything and they have the capacity to do it well that’s just laziness
03:44 | Bob: Well we’re and we’re gonna- we’re gonna really get into that scripture and th- this next scripture that we’re gonna share is from 1 Timothy 5:8 which is where the basis of this started-
03:54 | Shawn: Yeah
03:54 | Bob: you know- Yeah
03:54 | Bob: when when when I was developing this
03:56 | Shawn: – So family members in your own
03:58 | Bob: household is- R- right is
03:59 | Shawn: what
03:59 | Bob: we’re this
04:00 | Bob: Exactly
04:00 | Bob: That that that’s the key here you know
04:02 | Bob: It says “If anyone does not provide for his own and especially for those of his household he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” Man that’s pretty strong words Shawn
04:16 | Bob: It’s
04:16 | Shawn: very strong words
04:17 | Bob: You think about it
04:18 | Bob: Yeah
04:18 | Bob: So so it’s a Christian’s obligation and duty to care for support and protect family members especially in their own household
04:27 | Shawn: Yeah
04:27 | Bob: I mean this is th- this is kinda like Proverbs but it’s over in
04:30 | Shawn: Well it makes me think of the other scripture
04:32 | Shawn: Maybe you remember the specific reference but when it talks about how you know what a good father when his son w- asks for a fish doesn’t give him a rock or give him a snake-
04:44 | Bob: Yeah
04:44 | Shawn: you know k- kind of a thing
04:45 | Shawn: Yeah
04:45 | Shawn: And
04:45 | Bob: it’s
04:45 | Shawn: like and then it’s like how much how much more to it good is your Father in heaven in providing for you
04:51 | Shawn: It kind of makes me think of that too like well yeah you need to provide for your family and if they have needs and you’re able why would you not provide for
04:59 | Bob: them
04:59 | Bob: A- and this scripture’s you know really saying hey this this is not just about talk
05:03 | Bob: I mean this requires tangible action-
05:06 | Shawn: Yeah
05:06 | Bob: with family provision as a primary goal here and a God-given responsibility-
05:13 | Shawn: Yeah
05:13 | Bob: and that the failure to provide for family is viewed as a serious moral obligation effectively denying the Christian faith by acting in a manner worse than an unbeliever if you don’t
05:25 | Bob: Yeah
05:26 | Bob: Wow
05:26 | Shawn: Very- When
05:27 | Bob: I was when I was just thinking about this was like man this is
05:30 | Bob: Like you know you always say Proverbs really speaks straight to the point
05:33 | Shawn: Yeah
05:33 | Bob: This one really speaks straight to the point
05:36 | Shawn: Yeah
05:36 | Shawn: Yeah it’s a very serious moral obligation and failure to do so is not okay
[05:43] 🙏 Faith and Deeds: Practical Application of Biblical Teachings
05:43 | Shawn: I mean there’s
05:44 | Bob: Yeah
05:44 | Shawn: no way around
05:44 | Bob: that
05:45 | Bob: and so this kind of takes us into the next area that the Lord was laying on me as I was writing this is about faith and deeds
05:51 | Shawn: Mm-hmm
05:51 | Bob: And you know where James 2:14-16 he talks about faith and works
05:56 | Shawn: Sure
05:57 | Bob: I’ll I’ll go and
05:57 | Shawn: read that
05:58 | Shawn: James 2:14-16 says-What good is it my brothers and sisters if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds
06:06 | Shawn: Can such faith save them
06:08 | Shawn: Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food
06:11 | Shawn: If one of you says to them “Go in peace keep warm and well-fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs what good is it
06:19 | Shawn: In the same way faith by itself is not accompanied
06:22 | Shawn: if it is not accompanied by action is dead
06:25 | Bob: I saw 3 points that kind of came out of this scripture
06:27 | Shawn: Mm-hmm
06:28 | Bob: You know the it James is really he’s questioning the value of faith if it doesn’t provide visible-
06:34 | Shawn: Yeah
06:34 | Bob: good works
06:35 | Shawn: Yeah
06:36 | Bob: and he’s also that a verbal profession of faith without practical loving action is worthless
06:42 | Shawn: Or or dead- You
06:44 | Bob: in
06:44 | Bob: Yeah
06:45 | Bob: Yeah
06:46 | Bob: And that genuine saving faith compels believers to meet the physical and spiritual needs of others who are incapable of meeting their own needs
06:54 | Bob: And again comes back to that those that are incapable-
06:57 | Shawn: Yeah
06:57 | Bob: of meeting their own needs
06:58 | Bob: And we’re gonna we’re gonna kind of talk about who are those incapable-
07:02 | Shawn: Yeah
07:02 | Bob: of meeting their own needs
07:03 | Bob: ‘Cause there are there’s a group of people that are incapable-
07:07 | Shawn: Sure of
07:07 | Bob: meeting their needs and that’s who we’re called to help
07:10 | Shawn: Yeah
07:10 | Bob: Yeah
[07:11] 🌳 Faith and Actions: The Analogy of the Fruit Tree
07:11 | Shawn: Yeah
07:11 | Shawn: That’s that’s James it always That’s that’s James it always uh really sticks out to me on that distinction of the deeds are not what save you for example
07:22 | Bob: Right
07:22 | Shawn: it’s it’s simply that that outward expression of the faith that you have
07:30 | Bob: Right
07:30 | Shawn: Because if your faith is is real it’s like well you can’t help
07:34 | Shawn: I think the analogy of the t- of the tree
07:36 | Shawn: Yeah
07:37 | Shawn: It’s like well if it’s a healthy fruit tree it’s gonna produce fruit
07:40 | Bob: Fruit right
07:41 | Shawn: ‘Cause that’s just the nature of the tree
07:43 | Shawn: That’s what it does
07:43 | Bob: Yeah
07:44 | Shawn: And so the same should be like with with our faith
07:46 | Shawn: It’s like it you know you tell somebody “Oh yeah I’ll pray for you,” when you literally could like get them food right now ’cause they need help
07:54 | Shawn: Like it’s like okay
07:56 | Shawn: Yeah
07:56 | Shawn: Don’t just give them the platitude of like “Oh yeah I hope God provides.” Well maybe God put them in your path
08:02 | Bob: right now-
08:02 | Shawn: May-
08:02 | Bob: maybe you need to go buy
08:03 | Shawn: them a
08:03 | Bob: meal
08:03 | Shawn: help
08:03 | Shawn: Yeah
08:03 | Bob: May- and or or or help them out
08:05 | Bob: Exactly
[08:06] 📖 Biblical Teachings on Laziness and Responsibility
08:06 | Bob: Now this is where this next section is where I saw the caution- Yeah of financial provisioning for enabling laziness
08:16 | Shawn: Yeah
08:17 | Bob: And of course now comes Proverbs right
08:19 | Shawn: Yeah
08:19 | Bob: yeah
08:19 | Shawn: Because if weren’t gonna get through this episode-
08:21 | Bob: Yeah
08:21 | Shawn: at least
08:21 | Bob: one
08:22 | Shawn: Proverbs
08:22 | Bob: reference
08:22 | Shawn: right
08:22 | Shawn: Not
08:22 | Bob: not without Proverbs when it comes to about enabling because Proverbs is pretty strong on this
08:27 | Shawn: Yeah
08:28 | Bob: mm-hmm
08:28 | Bob: it starts off with Proverbs 10:3-5
08:31 | Shawn: Oh go ahead
08:32 | Shawn: “The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked
08:37 | Shawn: Lazy hands make for poverty but diligent hands bring wealth
08:41 | Shawn: He who gathers crops in s mer is a prudent son but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.”
08:48 | Bob: And-
08:48 | Shawn: And then you have another Proverbs here
08:49 | Bob: Yeah I do
08:50 | Shawn: Proverbs 19:15-18
08:52 | Shawn: “Laziness brings on deep sleep and the shiftless go hungry
08:56 | Shawn: Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die
09:01 | Shawn: Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord and He will reward them for what they have done
09:06 | Shawn: Discipline your children for in that there is hope
09:09 | Shawn: Do not be a willing party to their death.”
09:11 | Bob: Hmm
09:12 | Bob: So the consequences of laziness according to these scriptures are poverty and hunger
09:18 | Bob: and
09:18 | Shawn: –
09:19 | Bob: you know it says right- can see
09:21 | Shawn: that again especially in the long run
09:22 | Shawn: Yeah
09:23 | Bob: And it
09:23 | Shawn: talks about disciplining your your children
09:25 | Shawn: It’s like well yeah because you wanna make sure that when they’re old enough that they are on their own you wanna make sure that they don’t continue lazy habits and therefore they can’t take care of themselves
09:36 | Shawn: And then what about when you’re no longer on this earth
09:39 | Shawn: You know it’s kind of the same it’s
09:40 | Shawn: it makes total sense that you know you wanna instill these good principles in them before it’s too late
09:47 | Bob: You know the the emphasis on on Proverbs 19:15 were reading it is that laziness can cast you into deep sleep
09:54 | Bob: Yeah
09:54 | Bob: I mean that’s what it says and the idle person is gonna suffer hunger
09:57 | Bob: And over in Proverbs 10:4 a slack hand causes poverty
10:01 | Bob: Mm
10:01 | Bob: I mean
10:02 | Shawn: it’s
10:02 | Bob: basically saying if you’re lazy these things can happen to you
10:06 | Bob: the Book of Proverbs also describes a lazy person as a sluggard
10:11 | Bob: And we you know- consider the ant you know
10:13 | Shawn: Yeah
10:14 | Bob: as one who sleeps neglects task and makes ridiculous excuses about not working and allows their home to fall into disrepair
10:24 | Shawn: Yeah
10:25 | Bob: Proverbs 6:6-8 that’s the one about the ant
10:28 | Shawn: Yep
10:28 | Bob: and it consider her ways and be wise
10:32 | Bob: and it highlights initiative that the ant you know saves during summer Right and for the winter-
10:39 | Shawn: That’s
10:39 | Bob: right that’s coming
10:40 | Bob: And beyond physical poverty laziness is viewed as a lack of wisdom and a sinful misuse of time and this is over in Ecclesiastes 10:18 and Proverbs 20 :13
10:54 | Bob: And-
10:54 | Shawn: Yeah I wish were able to find more scriptural references for these different-
10:57 | Bob: Different ones
10:58 | Shawn: parts
10:58 | Bob: and points
10:59 | Bob: Yeah
10:59 | Shawn: And we on- we only have one to two for each one
11:01 | Bob: and and there it is
11:03 | Bob: Paul addressing addresses this in the New Testament- Mm-hmm over Thessalonians
11:07 | Shawn: 2 Thessalonians 3:10
11:09 | Bob: Yeah
11:09 | Bob: yeah
11:09 | Bob: emphasizes that providing for one’s own household is essential to the faith and anyone that’s not willing to work they should not eat
11:16 | Shawn: Mm
11:17 | Bob: So the it
11:18 | Bob: When I looked at this I was like man these are pretty strong there about enabling bad behavior
11:27 | Shawn: Yeah
11:27 | Bob: Now out- the Biblical worldview of providing for your family if they’re incapable of providing for themselves is a Christian obligation
[11:39] 🤝 Compassion and Boundaries in Supporting Others
11:39 | Bob: And I wrote I think I started thinking about what family members could be incapable of providing-
11:45 | Shawn: Mm-hmm
11:45 | Bob: for themselves and elderly- Yeah because they just physically can’t get out- Yeah
11:51 | Bob: do work anymore
11:53 | Bob: the physically handicapped or those who have a mental illness which is often one of the worst illnessesBecause you can’t see it- a mental illness
12:03 | Bob: And you know from my
12:05 | Shawn: studies- You
12:05 | Bob: you can
12:05 | Shawn: always see symptoms of it
12:08 | Bob: Yeah
12:08 | Shawn: And so it’s it’s harder than you know someone who physically can’t walk-
12:12 | Bob: Right
12:12 | Shawn: or someone who is like you said elderly
12:15 | Shawn: it’s
12:15 | Shawn: You can kind of tell like well yeah their muscle’s atrophied and they just they can’t move around on their own
12:20 | Shawn: But then the mental part like they could look totally healthy from an outside
12:24 | Bob: perspective
12:25 | Bob: and I’ve learned from actually through investing-
12:29 | Shawn: Mm-hmm
12:29 | Bob: talking about how investing companies to you know try to help schizophreni a s an example
12:35 | Shawn: Yeah
12:36 | Bob: yeah
12:36 | Bob: or bipolar
12:37 | Bob: because from the studies that I’ve done about this is the majority of the homeless on the streets they have a mental illness
12:45 | Bob: Yeah
12:46 | Bob: And I don’t
12:46 | Shawn: They’re not actually homeless because they
12:48 | Shawn: they literally
12:48 | Bob: just
12:49 | Shawn: can’t find a place or or don’t have a place to be
12:52 | Bob: Yeah
12:52 | Shawn: I know I remember you
12:53 | Shawn: we might have even talked about this in a episode at some point in in the series but you you had a someone from high school I think or whatever that
13:01 | Bob: that- we did
13:02 | Shawn: gotten a
13:02 | Bob: and- Yeah
13:02 | Shawn: it was
13:02 | Bob: a it was a- One one of my best friends
13:04 | Bob: of our our
13:05 | Bob: He was a quarterback
13:05 | Bob: He went to the University of Texas and then we later found him and he developed schizophreni a s well
13:11 | Bob: Yeah
13:11 | Bob: He was coach at a high school-
13:13 | Shawn: Yeah
13:14 | Bob: team and really doing well
13:15 | Bob: Well I
13:15 | Shawn: remember the story you had shared
13:16 | Shawn: It was something about the
13:18 | Shawn: I don’t know if it was from you and others or whatever but there was a home provided after this had happened with with the schizophrenia and it was short time later that it was like he was gone and he’d destroyed the house
13:29 | Shawn: And it you know it was just again it it wasn’t a physical need of oh he just doesn’t have a home but it was actually the mental illness
13:38 | Bob: was- Right actually
13:39 | Shawn: the issue
13:39 | Bob: Right
13:40 | Bob: Yeah
13:40 | Bob: So- Yeah
13:40 | Bob: he thought there were gremlins in the walls
13:42 | Bob: Yeah
13:43 | Shawn: So
13:43 | Bob: you know and he’s a great guy
13:46 | Bob: When I still see him he’s still alive today
13:48 | Bob: when I go see him he he yells out my name from across the street you know and-
13:52 | Shawn: Yeah
13:52 | Bob: he’ll come give you a hug
13:53 | Bob: But you can’t you can’t get too close
13:56 | Bob: And I’ve seen just how awful mental illness is and I’m careful
14:01 | Bob: I don’t I don’t judge homeless people anymore
14:04 | Shawn: Yeah
14:04 | Bob: I remember my younger days it’s like “Oh go get a job.” Yeah
14:07 | Bob: But I don’t do that anymore
14:09 | Bob: Yeah
14:09 | Bob: and we need to have compassion for them
14:12 | Bob: but on the flip side family members who just refuse to work-
14:17 | Shawn: Yeah
14:17 | Bob: when they’re perfectly capable of working this is just enabling bad behavior and we need to
14:23 | Shawn: allow-
14:24 | Bob: laziness
14:24 | Bob: those consequences of not working-
14:27 | Shawn: Yeah
14:27 | Bob: and bad behavior
14:28 | Bob: We need to l- allow what’s gonna happen is what’s gonna happen
14:32 | Bob: Yeah
14:32 | Shawn: ‘Cause
14:32 | Bob: I feel like we’re gonna get in the way of God if we don’t
14:35 | Bob: Right
14:35 | Bob: Let God work in their lives
14:37 | Shawn: Yeah yeah
14:39 | Shawn: Yeah because you know I I know we’ve seen it here at Christian Financial Advisors® when we have like older clients that have a kid or and sometimes kids and because you know it’s like mom is retired and Dad’s already passed away and-
14:55 | Bob: Mm-hmm
14:55 | Shawn: oh she has money
14:56 | Shawn: She has retirement money and she’s very generous
14:58 | Shawn: But then there are you know the son or daughter or both whatever and oh they’re living on Mom’s property and oh they need money for you know getting this thing or they need money for that
15:08 | Shawn: Like well hold on
15:09 | Shawn: Like they’re working
15:11 | Shawn: Mom only has so much left
15:13 | Bob: Mm-hmm
15:13 | Shawn: That’s all she has
15:14 | Shawn: Right
15:14 | Bob: She can’t
15:14 | Shawn: work anymore
15:16 | Shawn: And then they’re they’re taking advantage of instead of actually working and saving up for whatever it is that they supposedly need which they don’t need they take advantage of of of Mom
15:25 | Shawn: In that case it’s a great example of no Mom like you need to say no
15:28 | Bob: Right
15:29 | Shawn: Because you’re not helping them
15:30 | Shawn: That’s right
15:30 | Shawn: You’re actually hurting them and yourself
15:32 | Bob: That’s right
[15:33] 📖 Exploring Biblical Worldview on Financial Provision
15:33 | Bob: Yeah
15:34 | Bob: So- So there’s two sides of this-
15:36 | Shawn: Yeah
15:36 | Bob: in looking at this from Biblical worldview and you never wanna take scripture out of context by just say- taking one scripture
15:43 | Shawn: Right
15:43 | Bob: You gotta look at many scriptures
15:45 | Bob: So this is why wanna end up today on on 4 or 5 scriptures that-
15:50 | Shawn: Yeah
15:50 | Bob: I think
15:51 | Bob: And you’re gonna notice that they’re gonna go kinda back and forth because we we need to put compassion in there
15:57 | Bob: Right
15:57 | Bob: Right
15:58 | Bob: But we also need to put wisdom- Yeah
16:00 | Bob: when it’s providing for family
16:02 | Shawn: members
16:02 | Shawn: We’re we’re gonna go through these and we’re gonna trust that the Holy Spirit will will guide whoever is- watching or listening to this and we just we know that God’s Word never returns back void
16:11 | Shawn: And so-
16:11 | Bob: So
16:11 | Shawn: you
16:12 | Bob: you you take one and I’ll take one
