Broke Pastor, Broke People: When Church Leadership Doesn't Model Financial Wisdom, The Congregation Stays Stuck

Why do so many pastors preach prosperity but live in financial bondage? And what does that mean for the people sitting in the pews every Sunday?

In this hard-hitting episode of the Wealth Explosion Podcast, Pastor T. Ray Greer tackles one of the most uncomfortable truths in the faith community: when church leaders don't understand wealth-building, their congregations stay trapped in generational poverty.

Drawing from his unique experience as both a pastor and financial professional, T. Ray exposes the painful cycle that keeps church folks broke. He reveals how financial illiteracy in the pulpit creates financial illiteracy in the pews, and why the absence of wealth-building education in our churches has devastating long-term consequences for families and communities.

This isn't about condemning pastors—it's about empowering them. T. Ray breaks down:

• Why theological training alone doesn't prepare pastors for financial leadership
• The difference between prosperity preaching and practical wealth-building
• How financially struggling pastors unintentionally model scarcity to their congregations
• Why church members deserve leaders who understand money, investments, and generational wealth
• The transformation that happens when pastors become financially educated and lead by example

Whether you're a pastor ready to break the cycle, a church member seeking answers, or someone tired of watching another generation stay stuck, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about faith and finance.
