What True Freedom Really Means
As our nation celebrates Independence Day and marks the 250th anniversary of our founding, it’s worth pausing to thank God for the freedoms we enjoy. We have the freedom to worship, work, give, speak, serve, and live with opportunities many people around the world do not have.
Those are gifts worth receiving with gratitude.
But Scripture points us to a freedom even deeper than national liberty. Fo
Boasting in God, Not Wealth
In The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis wrote, “Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”
That is a sobering warning. Prosperity can be a blessing from God, but it becomes dangerous when it begins to shape our identity. Wealth itself is not the problem. The danger comes when our possessions begin to speak for us—whe
Before You Borrow with Ron Blue
Debt always costs more than the interest rate.
It can affect your budget, your marriage, your margin, and even your ability to respond freely when God leads. That doesn’t mean borrowing is always wrong. But it does mean Christians should approach debt carefully, prayerfully, and with wisdom.
Ron Blue, a pioneer in biblically wise financial planning and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, joined the sh
6 Financial Choices That Can Shape Your Future
1 Corinthians 4:2 says, “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
Faithful stewardship does not happen by accident. The choices we make with money can either create unnecessary pressure or help us manage God’s resources with wisdom, margin, and faithfulness.
Here are six financial choices that can help us steward well what God has entrusted to us.
1. Spend With a Plan

The Risks of Credit Card Churning
Credit card rewards can look like easy money, especially when you hear stories of people earning flights, hotel stays, and cash bonuses simply by opening new cards. But one increasingly popular strategy—known as credit card churning—may carry more risk than reward.
As Christians, we’re called to think about financial tools with wisdom, not just ask whether something is technically allowed or poten
Are You Ready for Retirement?
Do you know whether your retirement plan is on track, or are you simply hoping it is?
Whether retirement is years away or just around the corner, it’s wise to pause and take a closer look at your plan today. A retirement checkup can help you know where you stand, identify potential gaps, and make adjustments before small issues become major problems.
Many people know they should be saving, but the
Giving Now, Not Later with Cody Hobelmann
It’s easy to assume generosity will grow over time. We tell ourselves we’ll give more after we earn more, save more, pay off debt, or reach a certain level of financial security. But what if waiting causes us to miss something God wants to do today?
That’s the question Cody Hobelmann invites us to consider. Cody is a Certified Financial Planner, a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®), and co-founder
A Prayerful Approach to Financial Decisions with Sharon Epps
“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.”
That promise from James 1:5 is a powerful reminder that wisdom is not something we have to manufacture on our own. It is a gift from God, and He invites us to ask for it.
When we think about financial decisions, we often turn first to budgets, spreadsheets, calculators, or professional advice. Those tools can be helpful, and w
Helping Lebanon’s Displaced Families Find Hope with May-Lee Melki
When God’s people respond with generosity, real lives are changed—and doors open for hope that lasts.
That has been the story behind FaithFi’s partnership with Heart for Lebanon, a ministry serving families displaced by the ongoing crisis in Lebanon. On today’s show, we welcomed May-Lee Melki, U.S. Managing Director of Heart for Lebanon, to share what God has already made possible through the gene
Finding More Life by Owning Less with Joshua Becker
Minimalism isn’t about removing the things you love. It’s about removing the things that distract you from the things you love.
That insight from Joshua Becker gets to the heart of a much deeper issue than messy closets or crowded garages. Clutter competes for more than our space. It competes for our attention, affection, time, energy, and generosity.
Joshua Becker, New York Times and Wall Street
Stewarding Fatherhood Well with Jonathon Lewis
“For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you, and encouraged you, and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:11–12
With Father’s Day approaching, it’s worth asking a deeper question: What kind of legacy are we leaving as men, as dads, and as stewards of what God has entrusted to us?
Jonathan Lewis, President of Eastport Financial Grou
What Does Tithing Look Like in Retirement? with Anthony Saffer
During our working years, giving often feels straightforward. A paycheck comes in, and many believers give a set portion from that income. But retirement can make the question more complicated.
That’s why Anthony Saffer, CEO of One Degree Advisors, a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®), and host of the Retire Confidently YouTube channel, joined the show today to help ret
Helping Hands for Widows’ Needs: Rene’s Story
Sometimes, a simple phone call becomes more than a request for help. It becomes a picture of the body of Christ at work.
A few months ago, a listener named Renee from North Carolina called the show during a difficult season. As a widow raising her special-needs grandchildren on a fixed income, she was carrying a heavy burden. Medical bills were mounting, daily expenses were rising, and her grandch
How to Handle a Market Bubble with Mark Biller
Many investors are wondering whether the market is getting ahead of itself, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence and technology stocks.
But perhaps the better question is not, “Are we in a bubble?” The better question may be, “How should we respond if we are?”
That was the focus of today’s conversation with Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Inv
The Spiritual Risks of Prosperity with Jim Wise
In Genesis 11, the people of Babel said, “Let us make a name for ourselves.” That ancient temptation is still alive today. It can surface in seasons of success, when achievement becomes less about serving God and others and more about building a monument to ourselves.
Success is not inherently wrong. Scripture commends diligence, wisdom, excellence, and faithful stewardship. But prosperity also br
What If I Haven’t Filed Taxes in Years? with Kevin Cross
Falling behind on taxes can feel overwhelming. Maybe you missed one year, then another. Maybe a job change, a divorce, an illness, a death in the family, or a season of financial hardship made it hard to keep up. Or perhaps you started gig work, received a 1099 for the first time, and were surprised to discover that you owed more than expected.
Whatever the reason, failing to file your taxes for s
Where Faith and Banking Meet with Aaron Caid
More Christians are asking whether their financial lives reflect their deepest convictions. That question often shapes how we give, spend, save, and invest. But increasingly, believers are also asking another important question: Where should I bank?
For followers of Christ, stewardship is not limited to major financial decisions. It includes the ordinary, everyday choices we make with what God has
How to Steward Summer Break with Brian Holtz
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
Psalm 90 reminds us that time is a gift from God. Every day we receive is an opportunity to live wisely, love intentionally, and steward the moments entrusted to us.
For families with children or grandchildren, summer can be a unique opportunity to do just that. The school year brings its own rhythm and routine, but s
Redefining Abundance
“Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.” — Psalm 73:25
We spend a lot of time chasing what we think will satisfy. More money. More security. More success. More possessions. But Jesus offers a radically different vision of abundance—one that cannot be measured by what we own.
In Luke 12, someone in the crowd approaches Jesus with what sounds like a p
The Christian Ethics of Street-Corner Generosity with Dr. David W. Jones
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” — Proverbs 19:17
As Christians, we’re called to care for the poor. But what should we do when someone asks us for money on the street? Should we give cash? Offer food? Keep walking? And how do we show compassion without causing harm?
Dr. David W. Jones joins us to help answer those questions. He’s a senior pro
A Journey of Generosity with Todd Harper
What if generosity isn’t something God wants from you, but something He wants for you?
Many people approach generosity with hesitation. They hear the word giving and assume a financial ask is coming. They may wonder if generosity will lead to pressure, obligation, or guilt. But biblical generosity is not meant to be a burden. It is an invitation into joy, freedom, and deeper fellowship with God’s
Could a Reverse Mortgage Be Wise Stewardship? with Harlan Accola
Many retirees spend decades building equity in their homes. But could that equity become a wise tool for stewardship in the next season of life?
For many people, the words reverse mortgage raise immediate concerns. Some of those concerns come from outdated information, past abuses, or even a sense of guilt about taking on debt later in life. But is it possible that some retirees have dismissed thi
The Life-Giving Potential of Wealth with Randy Alcorn
What if giving is not losing at all, but investing in what lasts forever?
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:20 to “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” That one command reshapes the way we think about money, possessions, and generosity. Wealth can be dangerous when it owns us, but when it is surrendered to God, it can become a powerful tool for eternal good.
Randy Alcorn, bestselling author and
Vocational Stewardship: Working for the Common Good with Dr. Amy Sherman
Work is not merely a way to make a living. It is also one of the primary ways we love our neighbors.
Whether you lead a company, teach a class, manage a home, serve in your church, care for children, volunteer in your community, or invest resources for the future, God has entrusted you with influence. That influence is not accidental. It is part of your stewardship.
We often think of stewardship i
Seeking Wise Counsel
Some of the costliest financial mistakes are made in isolation.
When big decisions come our way, pride and pressure can convince us that we need to figure everything out ourselves. But God designed us to walk in community, and His wisdom often comes through trusted voices. Seeking wise counsel is not a sign of weakness—it is a key part of faithful stewardship.
Have you ever faced a financial decis
Receiving Eternal Rewards
Pastor Rick Warren once said, “The way you store up treasure in heaven is by investing in getting people there.”
That’s a powerful statement—and it raises an important question: What does it really mean to store up treasure in heaven?
Jesus speaks directly to this in Matthew 6:20, where He says, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do n
The Church’s Response to Crisis in Lebanon with Camille Melki
Imagine if a quarter of our country suddenly had to flee their homes—unsure where they would sleep, how they would eat, or what tomorrow might bring.
That is the kind of crisis many families in Lebanon are facing today. Innocent men, women, and children are caught in the middle of another humanitarian disaster, and the needs are urgent. But even in the pain and uncertainty, God is opening doors fo
From Accumulation to Impact with Cody Hobelmann
“Abundance isn’t God’s provision for me to live in luxury; it’s His provision for me to help others live.”
That line from Randy Alcorn captures the heart behind a financial finish line. When God entrusts us with more, the question is not simply, “How much can I keep?” but “How much can I use for His purposes?”
Cody Hobelman, Certified Financial Planner and Certified Kingdom Advisor, joined the sho
Why Debt Management is Better with Neile Simon
If you’re drowning in debt and someone offers a lifeline, make sure it’s not really an anchor.
When debt feels overwhelming, it’s natural to look for a way out. And there are several options that sound helpful at first: debt consolidation, debt settlement, and debt management. But while those terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same—and they can lead to very different outcom
Staying Financially Faithful When Life Is Full
Corrie ten Boom once said, “If the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy.”
That’s a sobering thought, especially in a world where many of us feel like life is moving faster than we can keep up. Deadlines, family responsibilities, bills, errands, emails, appointments, and unexpected needs can make every day feel like a sprint. And when life moves that fast, it’s easy to make financial decis
10 Fun and Free Things To Do This Summer
Summertime is here. And while kids may be counting down the days until school is out, parents and grandparents may be counting something else—the cost.
Keeping kids entertained during the summer does not have to break the bank. In fact, some of the best memories do not come from expensive outings. They come from creativity, time together, and a little planning.
It is tempting to spend our way into
The Case for International Investing with Mark Biller
Over the past decade, U.S. stocks have been the center of the investing universe. And for good reason—the U.S. market remains one of the strongest and most influential in the world.
But wise investing is not simply about looking at where the market has been. It also means asking where opportunities may be emerging next. That raises an important question: Should investors consider looking beyond U.
The 3 Questions Financial Advisors Hear the Most with Sharon Epps
What are the biggest financial questions people keep asking—and are we answering them the right way?
The questions we wrestle with about money often reveal something deeper. They expose our fears, our hopes, and what we truly believe about God’s provision. That’s why financial wisdom must go beyond spreadsheets and strategies. It must address the heart.
Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors,
Finding Purpose in Retirement with Mitch Anthony
Retirement is often described as the finish line—the long-awaited season when work finally ends, and leisure begins. But what if that picture is incomplete?
For believers, retirement does not mean purpose expires. It may simply mean that purpose takes on a new expression. We were created by God not merely to earn a paycheck, but to serve, contribute, create, encourage, and reflect His character in
Where Should You Keep Your Emergency Fund?
An emergency fund can be the difference between a financial setback and a financial crisis—but only if it’s built the right way.
Most people know they should have money set aside for emergencies. But many aren’t sure how much to save, what actually counts as an emergency, or where to keep that money. Those are important questions, because an emergency fund is not just another savings goal. It is a
5 Smart Tips for a Budget-Friendly Family Vacation with Crystal Paine
Summer is not that far off, and for many families, the kids are already dreaming about vacation. But parents may be asking a different question: How can we make great family memories without breaking the budget?
A family vacation can be a wonderful gift, but it doesn’t have to create financial pressure that follows you home. With a little planning, creativity, and communication, you can enjoy mean
Rising Healthcare Costs: Is There Another Way? with Lauren Gajdek
What do you do when the cost of staying healthy begins to strain the family budget?
For many households, health care has become one of the biggest financial pressures they face. Groceries, utilities, and everyday expenses are already stretching families thin. But medical costs often feel like they are in a category of their own.
Even when traditional coverage feels out of reach, families are not w
What is Faith-Based Investing? with Luke Bolton
A growing number of Christians are asking not just how to invest, but whether their investments reflect what they believe.
For many believers, investing has often been treated as a purely financial activity—something focused on returns, risk, diversification, and retirement goals. But what if investing is also deeply connected to our faith and calling?
Luke Bolton, Executive for Strategic Relation
The Rise of Faith-Based ETFs with Mike Schnackenberg
What if investing could be about more than performance? What if it could also be about purpose?
For many believers, stewardship does not stop with earning, giving, saving, or spending. It also includes asking whether the companies we invest in reflect the values we profess. And as more Christians think carefully about their portfolios, faith-based investing tools are making that conversation more
Faithful with Much: Stewarding a Financial Windfall
Unexpected wealth can feel like a blessing, but without wisdom, it can quickly become a burden.
A sudden financial gain, a large inheritance, a life insurance payout, or the sale of a business can change your circumstances overnight. But what you do next matters far more than what you’ve received.
When a financial windfall comes into our lives, it rarely arrives in a vacuum. Often, it is tied to l
A Tribute to Faithful Mothers on Mother’s Day
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” - 2 Timothy 1:5
As Mother’s Day approaches, that verse offers a beautiful reminder: the influence of a faithful mother often reaches farther than we can see. Through daily acts of love, sacrifice, prayer, and perseverance, mothers shape hearts, hom
Supporting Adult Children Without Holding Them Back
Is it possible to help your adult children in a way that actually keeps them from growing?
It’s a difficult question, but an important one. Many parents want to support their children well, especially when their children face setbacks, financial stress, or uncertain times. Yet the way we offer help can shape not only their circumstances, but also their character.
The goal isn’t simply to make life
Surviving Financial Meltdown with Ron Blue
Economic headlines can rattle our confidence. Markets fluctuate, layoffs make news, and inflation or recession fears can create a sense of instability. When uncertainty rises, fear often follows—and fear can drive financial decisions we later regret.
But while the economy changes, God’s wisdom does not. Scripture offers steady guidance that helps us respond with clarity instead of anxiety.

The Surprising Power of Wanting Less with Bob Lotich
Greek philosopher Epictetus once said, “Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” That insight may be more relevant today than ever.
We live in a world constantly urging us to want more, upgrade more, and pursue more. But what if that endless pursuit is costing us something far more valuable than money? What if wanting less is one of the most powerful financial dec
Spending Reflects Our Values
Billy Graham once said, “A checkbook is a theological document. It tells you who and what you worship.” It’s a striking statement—but an important one.
Most of us make financial decisions every day without thinking much about them. We buy groceries, renew subscriptions, grab coffee, replace something that broke, or make an impulse purchase that feels harmless in the moment. These choices can seem
Should You Change Your Financial Finish Line? with Cody Hobelmann
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1
Life moves in seasons—and with each season often comes new challenges, new opportunities, and sometimes new financial finish lines.

The Hidden Asset in Your Retirement Plan with Harlan Accola
For many retirees, their home is their largest asset. Yet in countless financial plans, that asset is treated as if it barely exists.
Retirement conversations often focus on Social Security, pensions, IRAs, and investment accounts while overlooking the value built up in a home over decades.
On today’s episode of Faith and Finance, Harlan Accola of Movement Mortgage joins to discuss why home equit
Finding Freedom by Defining Enough
How much is enough—and why does it always seem just beyond our grasp?
Many people assume the answer is a number: a savings goal, a retirement target, or an income level that will finally bring peace. But Scripture offers a different perspective. What if “enough” isn’t something you reach, but something you define?
That question matters more than we may realize, because how we answer it shapes our
Inside Corporate Engagement: How Investors Influence Change with Chris Meyer
Many investors think about what they own, but not always about how that ownership can be used for good. Yet investing is not only about returns—it can also be about responsibility.
For those who want their financial decisions to reflect their values, one important tool is something called corporate engagement.
Today, we were joined by Chris Meyer, Stewardship Investing, Research, and Advocacy Man
The Paradox of Planning
“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” - Proverbs 19:21
We’re often told to plan for the future. Build a budget. Set retirement goals. Create a roadmap for success. And those things can be wise and helpful. But what happens when the future doesn’t follow the plan?
That’s a tension many people experience but rarely talk about: the paradox of pl
Setting Your First Finish Line with Cody Hobelmann
“Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.” — Deuteronomy 8:17–18
How much money is enough? It’s a question that quietly shapes many of our financial decisions, yet few people ever stop to answer it.
On today’s episode of Faith and Finance, we were joined
Responding to Lebanon’s Humanitarian Emergency with May-Lee Melki
A humanitarian crisis is unfolding right now in Lebanon, and for hundreds of thousands of families, survival has become a daily question. As conflict intensifies once again, the impact on families—especially women and children—is overwhelming.

Financial Advice Built Around What Matters to You with Sharon Epps
What if the most important factor in choosing a financial advisor isn’t performance alone, but alignment?
Many people assume the primary role of a financial advisor is to maximize returns. While wise investing certainly matters, new research suggests something deeper may be at work. When financial advice aligns with your values, it doesn’t just affect your portfolio—it can reshape how you think ab
Revisiting the “4% Rule” with Mark Biller
How much can you safely spend in retirement without running out of money?
It’s one of the biggest questions retirees face. For years, many people have looked to the well-known “4% rule” for guidance. But as helpful as that rule may be, it’s not as simple—or as reliable—as many assume.
Today, Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, joined us to revisit th
Investing with Purpose
What if investing wasn’t just about returns—but about redemption?
For many people, investing can feel impersonal. It’s often framed as something tied to markets, retirement accounts, and long-term financial goals rather than spiritual growth. But Scripture invites us to see it differently. God calls His people to use what they have in ways that serve others, reflect His character, and advance His
Women of Worth with Bethany Frymire
Money conversations often center on numbers, strategies, and outcomes. But underneath those practical concerns lie deeper questions—questions about identity, worth, and purpose.
For many women, financial confidence isn’t just about knowledge. It’s deeply connected to how they see themselves and their role in God’s story. That’s why conversations about money must go beyond budgets and investing—the
How Everyday Banking Can Advance God’s Kingdom with Aaron Caid
What if your everyday banking could help fuel ministry—without changing how you manage your money? That’s the question at the heart of a growing movement to rethink financial stewardship. For many of us, banking feels purely transactional. But what if it could become a tool for Kingdom impact?
On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, Aaron Caid joined us to share how a unique approach to banking is
Freedom from Borrowing
What if debt isn’t just a financial issue—but a discipleship one?
We often view borrowing through a practical lens: interest rates, monthly payments, and payoff timelines. But Scripture invites us to look deeper. Debt doesn’t just affect our wallets—it can shape our freedom, influence our generosity, and impact our ability to respond when God calls.
Understanding debt through a biblical perspectiv
Finding True Hope Beyond the Prosperity Gospel with John Cortines
Many believers wrestle with a quiet but important question: If I truly follow Christ, shouldn’t life go better for me?
It’s a tension that often surfaces when life doesn’t unfold as expected—when financial strain, illness, or hardship interrupts our plans. At the heart of that struggle is a deeper issue: how we understand God’s promises and what we believe the Christian life is meant to produce.

A Biblical Vision of "Enough" with Taylor Standridge
What if the question “How much is enough?” isn’t really about money at all?
On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, we’re joined by Taylor Standridge, FaithFi’s Production Manager and a key contributor to the ministry’s new field guide on this very question. He explored why enough has less to do with numbers—and far more to do with the heart.
Because in the end, enough is not a financial equation.
Preparing the Next Steward
Jonathan Edwards once said, “True legacy consists not of what we leave behind, but of what we instill in others.” That insight cuts against the grain of how many of us think about inheritance.
We often focus on leaving behind money, assets, or property. But Scripture calls us to think bigger. What we pass on isn’t just wealth—it’s wisdom, character, and a legacy of faithfulness.
So the real questi
Powerful Financial Principles from God’s Word with Sharon Epps
God’s Word doesn’t just tell us how to manage money—it transforms how we see it.
Too often, we approach finances as a purely practical matter: budgets, investments, and goals. But Scripture invites us into something deeper. It reframes money not as something we own, but something entrusted to us by God. When we begin to see money through that lens, everything changes.
Today, Sharon Epps, President
The Cycle of Grateful Living with John Cortines
“Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and the power to enjoy them…this is the gift of God.” — Ecclesiastes 5:19

That’s the invitation we find in Ecclesiastes, and it’s the focus of a powerful conversation with John Cortines, Director of Partnerships and Growth at the M
Our Ultimate Treasure: Intentional Giving
Every day, we make decisions about money—but not every decision is made on purpose. When it comes to generosity, many of us wrestle with familiar questions: Where should I give? How much is enough? Does my giving really make a difference?
But Scripture invites us to see generosity differently—not as a financial habit, but as an act of discipleship. Intentional giving connects our everyday resource
Common Misconceptions about Faith-Based Investing with Brian Mumbert
Faith-based investing has been around for decades, yet many investors still wrestle with an important question: Does aligning your investments with your values mean sacrificing performance or diversification?
As more people seek to steward their resources in ways that reflect their convictions, it’s worth taking a closer look at what faith-based investing really is—and what it isn’t.

It Is Finished
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9
Good Friday invites us into a sacred tension—one marked by sorrow, gratitude, and deep hope. It is the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, when the Son of God bore the weight of our sin on the cross. And yet, fo
Clearing Up Reverse Mortgage Myths with Harlan Accola
Reverse mortgages often trigger strong reactions—especially among believers who want to honor God with their finances. But are those reactions grounded in biblical wisdom…or outdated information?
When it comes to debt and home equity, emotions can run high. Yet Scripture calls us to something deeper than instinct—it calls us to understanding. As Proverbs 19:20 reminds us, “Listen to advice and acc
Do Your Finances Need Scam-Proofing?
“The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15
In a world where scams are increasingly sophisticated, Scripture reminds us that precaution is not paranoia—it’s stewardship. Protecting the resources God has entrusted to us isn’t just practical; it’s spiritual.
Today’s threats may come through phone calls, emails, text messages, or even impersonations
Rich in What Really Matters with Bob Shank
Is it possible to have everything—and still be missing the one thing that matters most?
That’s not just a philosophical question. Scripture gives us real-life examples of people who appeared successful by every measure, yet walked away empty. On today’s episode, Bob Shank—founder of The Master’s Program—joins us to help unpack how Jesus challenges our definition of wealth and invites us into somet
Our Ultimate Treasure: Money is a Tool
Most of us don’t wake up intending to serve money. And yet, over time, financial pressure, goals, and anxieties can quietly begin shaping our decisions, priorities, and even our sense of security.
Jesus addresses this directly in Luke 16:13: “You cannot serve God and money.” But that doesn’t mean money has no place in the life of a believer. It simply means money must never be our master.

Financial Advice for Students and Early Career Adults with Bob Doll
“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gains understanding, for her profit is better than silver, and her gain surpasses gold.” - Proverbs 3:13–14
Making wise financial decisions early in life can set the stage for long-term stability, freedom, and generosity. But for students and young professionals just starting out, the question remains: Where do you begin?

Bringing Clean Water and the Gospel to Malawi with Aaron Griggs
In rural Malawi, many children wake each day unsure if they’ll eat, relying on water that can make them sick. For families living in deep poverty, this isn’t an occasional hardship—it’s daily life. Yet even in these conditions, there is hope.
Today, we were joined by Aaron Griggs of Cross International, a Christian humanitarian and development ministry, to talk about how lives are being changed in
What Is a CKA? with Sharon Epps
“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” — Proverbs 11:14
When it comes to managing money, Scripture reminds us that we were never meant to do it alone. Financial decisions carry both practical and spiritual weight, shaping not only our future but also our faithfulness.
On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom
Investing in the People Behind the Profits with Dolores Bamford
Servant leadership isn’t a soft skill—it’s one of the clearest indicators of a company’s long-term health.
When investors evaluate businesses, they often focus on numbers: revenue, margins, and growth projections. But behind every enduring company is something less visible and far more powerful—a leadership team shaping culture, guiding decisions, and determining whether that business will flouris
Saving on Purpose
What if the most important question about your savings isn’t how much you have—but what it’s really for?
We often think of saving as a financial skill—and it is. But Scripture invites us to see it as something deeper: a purposeful act of stewardship. When we understand saving through that lens, it begins to shape not just our finances, but our hearts.
Why Saving Feels So Difficult
Let’s be honest—
Navigating Finances in Blended Families with Ron Deal and Greg Pettys
Martin Luther once said, “There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.” Marriage is one of God’s great gifts—but like any meaningful relationship, it requires intentional care and wisdom.
That’s especially true in blended families. When two people come together later in life—often bringing children, financial histories, and past experience
Understanding Your IRA Options with Mark Biller
For decades, retirement income in America has often been described as a three-legged stool.
The first leg is Social Security, which historically provides roughly 35–45% of a retiree’s monthly income. The second leg used to be company pensions, but those have largely been replaced by employer-sponsored plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s, which now provide roughly 15–20% of retirement income on avera
Our Ultimate Treasure: Work as Worship
Theologian Dorothy Sayers once wrote, “Work is not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do.” That statement may feel surprising in a culture where work is often viewed as a burden to escape rather than a calling to embrace.
Yet Scripture offers a very different vision.
From the beginning of the Bible to the end, work is not treated as a necessary evil but as a sacred call
Corporate Charitable Gift Matching with Will Lofland
What if your generosity could be multiplied—without giving another dollar?
Corporate matching gift programs distribute billions of dollars every year, helping nonprofits expand their impact. Yet many believers are surprised to learn that some faith-based ministries don’t qualify for these funds. Understanding how these programs work—and why fairness in charitable giving policies matters—can help u
What Money Can’t Do—and What It Can with Dr. Russell James III
Money has a remarkable ability to shape our emotions. In a single week, it can make us anxious, fearful, generous, or joyful. But Scripture reminds us that money—despite the power we often assign to it—cannot ultimately provide what we most want.
On today’s episode of Faith & Finance, we spoke with Dr. Russell James III, the CH Foundation Chair of Personal Financial Planning and Charitable Giving
