What if poverty isn’t noble, spiritual, or virtuous but a sign that we’re missing the mark of what we were created for? In this powerful episode of Bartelle’s Money Talk, we sit down with bestselling author and prosperity teacher Randy Gage to unpack one of his most controversial statements: “Poverty is a sin.”

Randy explains the original meaning of “sin” as missing the mark and challenges the religious, cultural, and societal programming that keeps people trapped in scarcity, guilt, and worthiness issues. We explore how media, government, education, and even organized religion subtly reinforce poverty consciousness and how intentional “counter-programming” is essential for building abundance.
