In this episode, Kim reviews what the Bible says about our family's finances. You may ask:

Why did God say all these things about our money and belongings? Because He cares. Jesus knows that having any other god will hurt you. He is the only faithful, true God. Cheating, lying, or stealing shows you don’t trust His provision, and coveting what others have leads our hearts away from God’s provision and timing. 

In this episode, Kim shares how finances are a way of walking out our faith. Our family is ours to look after and provide for, which takes money. Unfortunately, life in America takes a lot of money. We see our spouses work and toil daily to bring home a paycheck. In this partnership, our responsibility is to spend this money wisely. She also shares how giving is a part of this faith.

Griffin Pizza Dough

3 cups of bread flour

½ cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 pkg yeast or 2 ¾ tsp of dry yeast

1 cup warm water

3 tbsp olive oil

Put bread flour, sugar, and salt into the mixer. Place 1 cup “baby bottle” temperature water with yeast in a glass measuring cup and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, pour into the flour mixture. Add olive oil. Use a dough hook, and mix for 5 or so minutes. Knead until it’s a smooth ball. Add a little flour if it’s too sticky. The dough should not stick to the sides. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Note: you can make this by hand without the mixer as well.

Use this dough for Pizza rolls, Calzones, or Pizzas of any size. This recipe makes a thick crust for a large 14-inch pizza. 

Generously oil pan. Roll out the dough and place it into the pan. Fill with desired cheese, sauce, and toppings. Place in a heated 400-degree oven for 12 minutes. Then place under broiler for a couple of minutes, just so the top is slightly browned and bubbling. Hint: don’t walk away from the oven. Keep checking on it for those couple of minutes. 

We use sauces on top when served: Ranch, BBQ, Franks, or a combination. Sprinkle toppings include red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Because the crust is thick like a breadstick at the end, we dip it in olive oil and salt. 

The toppings we use are Pepperoni, sausage, meatloaf, cut meatballs, bacon, chicken, and/or ham. This is a great way to use leftover meats in your refrigerator. And when you add a ton of meat, it’s more satisfying. You can also use vegetables like onions, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and pine nuts. These toppings are also great components for a calzone. Rub olive oil on top when making a calzone, and remember to oil your pan generously. Enjoy.
