In this episode of Ericaism, Erica Campbell focuses on responsible wealth. Financial literacy has long been overlooked, especially in African American communities and urban neighborhoods. It’s time to change that narrative. Wealth isn’t just about having a house or a car—it’s about being responsible with what God has given you, planning for the future, and leaving a legacy for your family.

Ecclesiastes 5:19 reminds us that wealth and the ability to enjoy it are gifts from God. But with that gift comes responsibility. It’s heartbreaking when families are left scrambling after a loved one passes because there was no will, no estate planning, and no trust in place. Without preparation, the government takes a piece, and the family is left with less than they deserve. Estate planning, understanding insurance, and making smart financial decisions are essential steps to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.rica emphasized the importance of asking, “How am I fighting my battles today?” She encouraged listeners to fight their struggles with faith instead of pain, leaning on God’s strength rather than giving in to anger, envy, or fear. Her heartfelt message reinforced that how we face our obstacles defines the victory we walk away with.

Wealth isn’t just about what you have today—it’s about ensuring it lasts. One family illness or unexpected event can wipe everything away. That’s why it’s important to be intentional with your finances. Speak life over your money. Avoid phrases like “more money, more problems” or declaring that you’re broke. Instead, focus on what you have and how you can use it wisely.

Small changes in how you think and speak about money can make a big difference. Pool resources with others to buy property, start nonprofits, or invest in something that creates lasting change. It’s not about the bag you carry—it’s about what’s in it and how you use it to build a better future.

True wealth isn’t about showing off—it’s about creating a legacy, empowering others, and walking in the abundance God has promised. Let’s shift our mindset and grow in wisdom, faith, and financial responsibility.

One of her most poignant takeaways was a call to model these values for the next generation. “We need to teach our kids how to be good friends,” she reflected, “to give each other freedom to be who they are and show up for each other in meaningful ways.”

Erica left us with a powerful reminder—that mature, grace-filled friendships make life richer. And in this fast-paced world, learning to love without conditions can be the greatest gift we give to one another.
