In this episode of 13:22 Life (Season 3, Episode 2), Bri Smith answers four thorn letters – real financial and spiritual struggles from listeners (and Reddit).

📬 LETTERS WE ANSWER:

1. “Was I wrong for not co‑signing a car for my brother?” – We go straight to Proverbs. Four times God says: do not co‑sign. Run like a gazelle.

2. “AITA for refusing to pay for my sister’s husband’s surgery with my inheritance/college money?” – She spent her inheritance on cars and home renovations. Now she wants yours. Bri’s answer: No. She can sell her upgrades.

3. “Should I make my parents pay me back $100k for college if they want a relationship?” – They paid for your brothers but not you. Bri talks forgiveness, family, and what really matters before it’s too late.

4. “I feel like a stranger to God and don’t know how to come back.” – Depression, guilt, drifting away. Bri shares her own story: losing her grandmother, turning away from God, and the messy journey back.

🙏 Opening and closing prayers included.

✨ KEY SCRIPTURES:

Proverbs 6:1-5, Proverbs 11:15, Proverbs 17:18, Proverbs 22:26-27, The Prodigal Son (Luke 15)
