In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "Does God still want us to tithe 10% of our gross income when we are struggling financially? Despite us both having full-time jobs and cutting back in sooo many ways, because of unexpected medical bills, an unexpected funeral bill, etc, we still can never pay our credit card bill. It's a huge weight on our shoulders.
