In this Mind of a Masculinity episode, host Avik and Scott Maderer (Inspired Stewardship) unpack how financial stress becomes a silent test of manhood\u2014fueling anxiety, shame, and burnout. We dig into the trap of \u201cprovider = worth,\u201d why overspending masquerades as protection, and how contentment (not complacency) drives healthy ambition. Scott offers a clear reframing: money is a tool, not a verdict. If you \u201cmake too much to feel this broke,\u201d this conversation gives you a direct path to realignment\u2014time, talent, and treasure in service of your calling.\n\u00a0\nAbout the guest\u00a0\u00a0:\nScott Maderer is the co-founder of Inspired Stewardship, a coaching practice helping Christian men and couples align time, talent, and treasure with purpose.
