Godliness with Contentment
My name is Keyno Hanna, and I live in the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. I am a Christian. I am married to my beautiful wife Pamela (Pam) and have 2 children Jalen and Jade. We are here to have a conversation about how to win with money from the Bible’s perspective.
Episodes
In this episode, we investigate what Jesus calls the deceitfulness of wealth when he explains the parable of the Sower. What we have in our minds and hearts about money can deceive us. When we trust in money, we believe that when we have it that all of our problems will vanish - not true. I believe that time, love and health are all higher on the priority scale than money. The Bible teaches us how to view money God's way i.e. the r...
In this episode, I tackle the mindset of the late starter who believes it is too late. That somehow because we are starting late that we can never reach our goals. It is only in our mind. I say our, because I was there only five years ago. I am a late starter. But I am in good company. Colonel Harland Sanders at 62 started franchising the chicken business. Moses (from the Bible) at age 80 spoke to Pharoah to let God's people go. Th...
In this episode we are reminded that God is there when we have a 'lil bit, supplying us with what we need so that we can also help others. We take a look at this situation in the Old Testament - 1 Kings 17 with Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath. God worked miraculously so that with the little she had, it would stretch to take care of her and her family as well as Elijah. She was tempted with taking care of only her and her family b...
In this episode we are reminded that God is there when all else fails. We take a look at a dire situation in the Old Testament - 2 Kings 4 and how God worked in an amazing way. We learn a few things:
-we always have something that God can bless
-God always has a plan
-keep doing what God tells you until you cannot do it anymore.

In this episode I talk about the fact that we can be thirsty for basically two types of things i.e. spiritual or physical. God gives an invitation to the thirsty in Isaiah 55:1-3. Those who accept the invitation get water, milk and wine at no cost. They are encouraged to buy without money. Why? There are some things money cannot buy. Here, the things are spiritual. But that brings up a bigger question for us - what are we thirsty f...
Today we talk about Earned Wage Access.
So full disclosure, I just came across this topic this week. We currently don’t have this service in the Bahamas, but from what I see, it is becoming a hot topic in the United States.
So what is EWA? It is a financial service that allows workers to access their earned wages before their payday.
Initially, it sounded like payday lenders, but it isn't.
As with most everything, there are pros an...
Episode #73. I guide you through the essential aspects of lifestyle creep, and how to avoid it.
Key points:
-remind yourself often about your goals (spending without restraint won't get you there anytime soon) -make a budget and live by it (the budget will give you permission to spend the money in the way it was planned) -set up automatic savings methods. E.g. if you know you are getting a raise, increase your automatic savings de...
If you had the choice between 1 million hours and 1 million dollars which would you choose? I would choose $1,000,000 and in the episode I tell you why. But don't shoot me until you have listened. To make matters worse, I give three reasons why time is greater than money:
-We could have all the money in the world and yet when our time is ...
Sometimes, we can be too smart for our own good. We can over analyze things. We can be stuck in the Paralysis of analysis. We can be frozen by the Fear that keeps us from doing anything. Or even the Fear of change. Sometimes the mere weight of major decisions keep us from doing anything.

Proverbs 26:13-16 "A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!” As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly."
Proverbs 26 speaks to the fool, the sluggard and the gossip. What a triple play!
But today we talk about th...
I went to the food store here on my island to buy some vegetables. I bought a cauliflower, two types of squash (butternut and spaghetti), a yam and some colorful bell peppers.
Don't scream but my total came to $32!

How are your New Year's resolutions going so far?
In an article by Forbes Health, it stated that - If you find yourself in the camp of setting lofty goals for the new year only to find yourself falling off the wagon just months (or weeks) later, rest assured that you’re not ...
Don't look around and say what about me. Focus on your blessings not on other people's blessings. It is easy to look around and find people who have more....or look like they have more. Stop wasting time and stressing yourself out!

Watch out for being the dreamer. You have come up with 100 business ideas but have never pull it off. Perhaps you say that you just didn't have the capital. But there are ways to start a business with little capital. For the 100 ideas, maybe there have been 1000 excuses why it did not work; why it won't work. Mere talk leads you to poverty. Don’t be a talker only, put in the work to make it happen.
When you scan through the pages o...
First off, this has nothing to do with gambling. This is coming from me - joyfully expressing how I feel after God's continuous blessings brought me to another birthday....a big one.
For those who don't know, my name is Keyno Hanna, and this is 'Godliness with Contentment'. Most times I talk about the Bible and money. Today there is no money, just Bible and God's grace.
Happy New Year!
We are now squarely in the first days of 2024.
This is typically when we go to the gym and start eating better and do whatever our resolutions are…well at least we start. The trouble is, most of us don’t continue. If we reach February 1st this i...
Going into 2024 (if we make it) I want to challenge you and me to take the signs down. Go after a clean slate and write on it whatever you believe God is telling you to write. In Isaiah 43:18-19, God promises to do a new thing here even greater than the Exodus. Wow! He says forget the past; don’t dwell on it for he is going to do a new ...
So there are many things we need to teach our children so that when they are old they don’t stray from it. One I will teach them is to stay away from Christmas debt. Christmas debt is crazy! Next Christmas you will still be paying this one off and the bank will send you a new email with a new loan promotion. They sell it as a loan - i.e. ...
Today we look at Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
It has been put forward that it talks about giving, investing, having many business ventures, diversification of one's portfolio, having a backup plan etc.. However, one Bible commentator says that 'for more than 18 centuries, there was never any doubt about what was meant here.' This was about giving. Nowadays however, our thoughts goes to business ventures and the like. This is about giving no...
Giving Tuesday comes after black Friday and Cyber Monday. I don’t think this is a good placement. The money goes out and by Tuesday very little is left. I mean I hope this is not the case for you, but for many it is. So perhaps givingtuesday.org can clamor for a change. I say put Giving Tuesday as the Tuesday before thanksgiving. That way we know when it is each year and we give before we spend. I understand that the spending inclu...
