Chrystal Hurst explains how scarcity mindset drives overspending, overeating, and overcommitting because we fear future lack. Abundance mindset trusts God in the waiting, allowing us to steward resources and surrender them to Jesus, who multiplies what we offer.
Chapters
Both time and money reveal what we truly believe about abundance. And scarcity will say, I've gotta consume this right now because I may not have time later. So we overspend, we overeat, we overconsume, we overscroll, we overcommit. Scarcity is a mindset and it can cling to everything. Healthy abundance says, I don't have time to consume everything immediately. And abundance says, I can do that later. That's code for delayed gratification. That's code for investing. That's code for planting seeds. That's code for creating margin. That's code for rest, because God has time to work in me. That's code for planting long term. So scarcity is a consuming mindset, and abundance is a cultivating mindset. Jesus multiplies what is surrendered to him, organized and ready for him, stewarded for him. And you can do that with your time and your money.
