The Furiously Curious Show

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Weme. He has raised millions for Christian organizations, owned and sold a John Deere dealership, and walked closely with families navigating wealth, faith, and legacy.

We talk about why money quietly shapes people spiritually, how wealth can drift from blessing to burden, and why generosity without clarity often does more harm than good. Paul shares what he has learned about cheerful giving, family inheritance, donor fatigue, and the simple but uncomfortable truth that God owns it all.

If you have ever wondered how to handle money faithfully without letting it handle you, this chat will give you a lot to think about.

Enjoy

🎙 About The Show
The Briefcase and the Barn is a weekly series of The Furiously Curious Show with business brains, barn vibes, and Christian roots. The conversations that shaped us most didn’t happen in boardrooms—they happened in barns, coffee shops, trucks, and around kitchen tables. That’s the spirit of this show.
Kyle & Gary, sit down, hit record, and go deep on the stuff that matters—faith, business, family, politics, culture—and crack a few jokes along the way.
New episodes every Wednesday!
Thanks for watching, and God bless.
