Ezekiel 5-8
It's easy to believe that having more money would fix everything—that if we just had enough, life would finally feel secure, peaceful, and even meaningful.From lotteries to luxury ads, our world constantly tells us that more wealth is the goal. But Scripture invites us to ask a better question: not how much money do I have?—but why do I want it in the first place?Money itself isn't the problem. Scripture never condemns wealth. But it does warn us about the heart behind it. The late Larry Burkett, a mentor to many in biblical finance, once said there are seven reasons people pursue wealth—and six of them can lead us astray. Why? Because when money becomes our focus, it often takes the place of God.Before we talk about how to use it, we need to ask: What's driving us to accumulate it?1. ConformitySome pursue wealth simply because everyone else is. Whether from family pressure or cultural expectations, they chase money without asking if it's what God wants.Romans 12:2 reminds us: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” God calls us to live in alignment with His Kingdom—not the world's standards.2. EnvyOthers look at their neighbor's lifestyle and crave the same.Ecclesiastes 4:4 says: “All toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”Envy leaves us restless—always reaching, never resting.3. CompetitionFor some, wealth is a scoreboard. It's not about having enough—it's about having more than others.But when competition drives us, life becomes a race, and people become obstacles. Philippians 2:3 offers a better way: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”Kingdom living doesn't play to win—it plays to serve.4. EgoMany tie wealth to identity. They want to be seen as successful, admired, and important. Even their giving can become a form of self-promotion.Paul redirects us in 1 Timothy 6:17: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth … but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”Wealth isn't a trophy—it's a tool.5. Love of MoneySome simply love money. They obsess over their accounts and fear losing it.1 Timothy 6:10 warns: “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” This isn't about having money—it's about being ruled by it.6. SecurityOthers pursue wealth out of fear. Wealth can create the illusion of safety.Proverbs 18:11 says: “The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.”But that security is imagined. Real peace doesn't come from what we've saved, but from the One who holds us.7. Generosity: The One Good ReasonSo, what's the one God-honoring reason to build wealth? To give it away.Generosity flows from a heart that sees money not as a possession to protect, but as a tool to serve. Jesus summarized this in Matthew 22:37–39: “Love the Lord your God … and love your neighbor as yourself.”Dr. Justo González notes in Teach Us to Pray that when we ask for “our daily bread” in the Lord's Prayer, it's a communal request. If we have more than we need today, it's not accidental—it's providential. What's in your hands may be God's answer to someone else's prayer.St. Augustine put it this way: “Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.”The early church modeled this in Acts 4:34: “There was not a needy person among them.”The Call to StewardshipBuilding wealth isn't about hoarding or raising our net worth. It's about aligning resources with God's purposes and becoming participants in His provision for others.When financial goals are rooted in love for God and neighbor, wealth becomes a ministry—not a measure of success.Let God reshape your reason for building wealth, and discover the joy of using what He's given you to bless others and glorify Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to understand what a real estate investment trust (REIT) is and how it works, especially in relation to my retirement savings. Do REITs tend to lose value over time?I'm thinking about selling my house and moving into a 55-plus community. Would it make sense to use the equity from my home to pay off my mortgage and credit card debt, thereby simplifying my finances?I'm trying to set up a trust and would like to know what to expect in terms of pricing. Is there a standard fee, or are there other factors I should be considering?My husband recently passed away and left me a significant amount of money. Since he handled all our finances, I'm unsure whether I should invest in annuities or spread the money across various investments. What would you recommend?I received a letter from the IRS about a retirement account in another state that I'd completely forgotten about. I've tried contacting my former employer, but can't locate the account.

The Answer to 'Is America Racist?' - Holy Disruption with Heather Schott In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott tackles the complex and pressing topic of racism in America. Joined by influential preacher and activist John Amanchukwu and Mercy Culture Church pastor Jasmine Weiler, the discussion delves into the notion of America as a racist nation, the historical and contemporary impacts of racism, and the interplay between race and politics. The conversation also highlights the need for spiritual and cultural reformation within the church and broader society. Together, they explore the role of leaders in confronting racial tensions and promoting unity as they seek to awaken the body of Christ to the realities and spiritual roots of racism. This episode calls for a revival that transcends race and denominational divides to fully realize the unity and power of the church.

Greg Morse | God wants his people to have holy ambition. But what does that ambition do when God leads us into a place of prolonged waiting?
What if the greatest gift you leave your children isn't your money, but your wisdom?As stewards, we often focus on managing God's resources well during our lifetime—but what happens after we're gone? How do we equip the next generation to carry on a legacy of faithful stewardship? Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about that.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Recognizing God's Design in Our ChildrenAt FaithFi, we frequently emphasize the importance of being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. But there's a deeper question to consider: What about the next steward?Proverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” While an inheritance can be a blessing, without preparation, it can also lead to conflict. That's why we need to think carefully not just about passing on wealth, but also about passing on wisdom.One of the earliest ways to prepare the next steward is to recognize and nurture a child's God-given giftedness. God created us to work, and part of stewardship is discovering how He's uniquely wired us.Each child's journey is unique, and our role as parents is to walk alongside them, offer opportunities, and pray that God will reveal their strengths.Giving Hands-On Money Management OpportunitiesEvery parent knows how painful it is to watch their children make poor choices—especially when it comes to money. But it's so vital that we allow our kids to experience the natural consequences of their decisions.Wisdom grows when kids practice responsibility with real resources. That's why it's a good goal to aim for our children to manage a full spending plan before leaving home, whether that's for college or to move out on their own. Starting with a simple envelope system—give, save, and spend—you can gradually add more categories as the kids grow. By the time they become young adults, they will have managed nearly all of their expenses except housing and insurance. This hands-on approach will ensure that by the time they launch into independence, they will not be starting from scratch.Starting Late? Don't Lose HeartIf you feel behind in teaching your kids about stewardship, give yourself grace. None of us does this perfectly.Start with small steps—a dinner conversation about your own money journey, or letting your child help plan a family purchase. What matters is being intentional and inviting the Lord to guide the process.Preparing the next steward is not a one-time event—it's a journey. Begin with prayer, asking God for wisdom, and do not hesitate to seek help from trusted friends, mentors, or financial professionals.And remember: more is caught than taught. Our children are learning as much from how we live as from what we say. By modeling faithful stewardship in our own lives, we give them the greatest inheritance of all: a life that reflects God's wisdom and trust in His provision.If you're looking for support in preparing your children to be wise stewards, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)—someone who shares your values and can guide you on the journey.

If you've ever felt too busy, too tired, or just plain unmotivated to disciple your kids — this one's for you. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie swap summer stories and get honest about the difference between being truly exhausted and just lacking enthusiasm. They open 1 Thessalonians 5:14 to talk about when parents need encouragement, when we need help, and when we need a loving push to “keep up the good fight.” You'll leave reminded that grit, patience, and perseverance aren't just personality traits — they're gifts from the Spirit to help you keep going when parenting gets hard.Resources Mentioned:Good News for Parents by Adam Griffin1 Thessalonians 5:14Proverbs 29:17Psalm 73Luke 5Isaiah 40:31 Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteEditing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

Lamentations 1:1-3:36
He was a Greek from the island of Crete. Born and raised as a pagan, he came to faith in Christ through the ministry of the Apostle Paul, and labored with the Apostle in preaching the Gospel. St Paul in his epistles calls St Titus both "son" and "brother." He was ordained Bishop of Crete by St Paul, who wrote to him the Epistle that bears his name. He reposed in peace at the age of ninety-four.
The tender balance between God's work in us and our active response to Him forms the heart of Paul's message in Philippians 2:12-18. Diving deep into this rich passage, we explore what it truly means to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" while recognizing that "it is God who works in you."What does it look like to handle your spiritual calling with reverence? The Greek words Paul uses paint a vivid picture—phobos (fear) describes carrying something precious with extreme care, while tromos (trembling) acknowledges our dependence on divine guidance for tasks beyond our natural abilities. This isn't about being terrified of God, but about approaching our responsibilities with holy awareness.Have you noticed how easily we slip into complaining? Paul, writing from a Roman prison cell, challenges us to do everything "without complaining or disputing." In our contemporary culture, where ranting attracts attention and validation, Christians are called to stand apart through grateful attitudes and loving responses. Early church father John Chrysostom even compared complaining to blasphemy—it implicitly questions God's goodness and provision.Whether you're leading a ministry team, managing household responsibilities, or navigating workplace challenges, this message reminds us to approach every task with reverence and gratitude. The deeper our relationship with God grows, the more naturally our actions align with His purposes—not to gain approval from others, but because His will has genuinely become our own.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok
Feeling the post-summer financial fog? You're not alone—but now's the perfect time to reset.Summer is a season of rest, family, and fun—but it can also knock our financial habits off course. That's why fall is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and get back on track. Let's explore six small but meaningful steps that can help realign your finances with your goals—and your faith.Summer Spending Can Leave You Off BalanceSummer often brings looser schedules and, sometimes, looser spending. That's okay—we need time to rest. But if your finances feel off-center, it may be time for a reset.1. Review Your Summer SpendingBefore moving forward, look back. Did your summer spending reflect your values or just your impulses? Whether it was vacations, eating out, or spontaneous purchases, reviewing where your money went brings clarity. Think of it as an act of stewardship—learning from the past so you can plan better for the future.2. Revisit Your BudgetSeasons change—and so do financial rhythms. Back-to-school costs, higher grocery bills, or other expenses may have shifted your cash flow. Revisit your budget to ensure it reflects your priorities: generosity, saving, and wise spending.A helpful tool: The FaithFi app makes budgeting a daily reminder that every dollar belongs to God. It helps you plan and track your finances in alignment with your faith.3. Check for Missed PaymentsLife gets busy, and bills sometimes slip through the cracks. Go back and confirm you haven't missed any payments. Even one late bill can hurt your credit. Also, review your autopay accounts to ensure everything is running smoothly. A little attention here prevents bigger headaches later.4. Catch Up on Your GivingGenerosity sometimes takes a backseat in busy seasons. If that happened this summer, take time to prayerfully revisit your giving. Ask yourself: Has God blessed me in a way that calls for deeper generosity? Whether to your church, a ministry, or a neighbor in need, giving is more than duty—it's an expression of trust in God as your ultimate provider.5. Tackle That Financial To-DoWe all have one thing on our financial to-do list that gets pushed aside—reviewing insurance, starting a will, or scheduling a meeting with an advisor. Stewardship often looks like taking the next step, even if it's small or unglamorous.6. Look Ahead with WisdomFall is a season of preparation. Anticipate upcoming costs, such as school expenses, open enrollment, holiday shopping, or tax planning. Mark dates and set reminders now so you won't be scrambling later. Wise stewardship is proactive, not reactive.One Step at a TimeDon't feel pressure to fix everything in one day. Growth—financial and spiritual—comes through steady, faithful diligence. Proverbs 4:26 reminds us: “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”Wherever you're starting from—catching up, starting over, or just resetting—God meets you there. He isn't after perfection; He's after your heart, and He promises to walk with you every step of the way.At FaithFi, we're committed to equipping Christians to integrate faith and financial decisions for the glory of God.

Holy shit! I almost didn't record this episode. See last episode (#472), I expose the six-deadly malpractices that keep 97% of creative investors from scaling their income. And afterward I sat in my office, for some time, staring at my notes, asking myself one question: "should I actually give them the cures?" Because here is the thing… What I'm about to reveal in this episode isn't theory, it's not motivational fluff. It's actually psychological ammunition that separates the 3% who build systematic freedom from the 97% who stay trapped in sophisticated slavery. And once you hear it, you can't hear it. Here is what nobody is telling you… The difference between struggling and scaling isn't about market knowledge, it isn't about connections, or capital, even hard work. It's about curing your amateur psychology, and most rookies, they're not ready, or willing to do that. They'd rather work 60-hours weeks, then compress their timeline for any kind of breakthrough. However, if you are ready for a scaling transformation, then buckle up, because this episode will bring you to places in your mind you didn't know you had!

What are five things no one would know about Burt Ward who played Robin in the TV show Batman? ### 1. **A Speed-Reading Sensation** Before hitting the big time, young Burt became an accomplished speed-reader. He was tested before the American Medical Society in Beverly Hills and clocked a staggering **30,000 words per minute with 90% comprehension**—far beyond average reading speeds. ([Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1], [TV Banter][2]) --- ### 2. **World's Youngest Professional Ice Skater** At just **two years old**, Burt was featured in the magazine *Strange as It Seems* as the **world's youngest professional ice skater**, thanks to a traveling ice show owned by his father. ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) --- ### 3. **He Did (Most of) His Own Dangerous Stunts** Unlike many stars, Burt performed most of his own stunts, even though his face made using a stunt double difficult. This led to multiple emergency room visits—**dozens**, he says—due to injuries from stunts like being tied to a table with a real buzz saw inches away or suspended above Bengal tigers. ([Wikipedia][3], [Express][4]) A Reddit user humorously shared one of Burt's more wild stories, recalling how during one stunt he was flung from the Batmobile when the door unexpectedly opened—and cracked an arm. ([Reddit][5]) --- ### 4. **Musical Collaborations with Frank Zappa** During *Batman*'s peak, Burt recorded several tracks produced by Tom Wilson and arranged by Frank Zappa. Notably, he released a single featuring "Boy Wonder, I Love You" (written by Zappa) and a cover of "Orange Colored Sky." ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) --- ### 5. **Rescue Work for Giant-Breed Dogs** Beyond Hollywood, Burt—and his wife Tracy—devoted themselves to canine welfare. In **1994**, they founded *Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions*, significantly impacting the lives of giant-breed dogs. Their nonprofit has facilitated **over 15,500 adoptions** and often houses around **50 dogs at home** awaiting forever families. ([Wikipedia][3], [People.com][6]) Additionally, their company *Gentle Giants* produces natural pet food aimed at boosting pets' longevity and wellbeing. ([People.com][6]) --- ### Bonus Tidbits: * Burt actually chose his own stage name: swapping “Gervis” for *Ward* (his mother's maiden name) and altering “Bert” to “Burt” because it had more punch. ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) * He holds a **Guinness World Record** for portraying the same live-action superhero in the most episodes (120 as Robin). ([Facts.net][7], [The Famous People][8]) * In **2020**, Burt received a star on the **Hollywood Walk of Fame**—a fitting tribute to the iconic Boy Wonder. ([Hollywood Walk of Fame][9]) To understand the deep meaning of redemption in Greek scripture, it is essential to explore the key terms used by New Testament writers, primarily agorazō and its cognates (exagorazō), and lytron with its related forms (apolytrōsis, lytrōsis). These words paint a picture of redemption as a decisive, costly, and legally binding rescue from the slavery of sin and its consequences. Key Greek words for redemption Agorazō (ἀγοράζω) and exagorazō (ἐξαγοράζω) The verb agorazō means "to buy or purchase" and is derived from agora, the Greek marketplace or slave market. The related verb exagorazō, which means "to buy out or buy from," intensifies this meaning. Bought at a price: The use of agorazō emphasizes that humanity was on the auction block of sin but has been purchased by Christ. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:20, "For you were bought with a price" (ēgorasthēte timēs), underscoring the high cost of this purchase. Freedom from the Law: The more intensive term exagorazō highlights a targeted purchase designed to remove something or someone from their previous state. For example, Galatians 4:5 says Christ came to "redeem those who were under the law" (exagorazō tous hupo nomon). This signifies not just a general purchase but a deliberate act of freeing people from the curse and bondage of the Law. Lytron (λύτρον), apolytrōsis (ἀπολύτρωσις), and lytrōsis (λύτρωσις) This cluster of words emphasizes the idea of a ransom payment that brings about release. Lytron (ransom price): Lytron specifically refers to the monetary price paid to free a slave or captive. In Matthew 20:28 and Mark 10:45, Jesus says he came "to give his life as a ransom (lytron) for many," directly comparing his death to a payment made to secure the freedom of others. Apolytrōsis (completed redemption): The preposition apo is an intensifier, making apolytrōsis a "stronger form" of the word that denotes a complete and finalized liberation. This is the word used when describing the future, full redemption of believers' bodies at the resurrection (Romans 8:23) and the day of ultimate redemption (Ephesians 4:30). Lytrōsis (the experience of release): This noun refers to the deliverance or liberation that results from the payment of a ransom. Hebrews 9:12 explains that Christ "obtained eternal redemption (lytrōsis) for us". The holistic and progressive nature of redemption The deep meaning of redemption in the Greek New Testament moves beyond a simple, one-time transaction to a multi-faceted and progressive work of God. Past: An accomplished fact The price for sin has been paid through Christ's death on the cross, accomplishing a decisive and objective redemption for all believers. The sacrifice of Christ is the ultimate ransom (lytron), securing our justification and the forgiveness of sins (Romans 3:24). Present: An ongoing reality The power of redemption is at work in believers' lives, delivering them from sin's power and purifying them to be a people for God's possession (Titus 2:14). As part of this transformation, believers are no longer slaves to sin but bondservants of righteousness (Romans 6:18). Future: A complete deliverance Redemption is not yet fully realized. Believers "groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies" (Romans 8:23). The final stage of redemption will be the complete liberation from corruption and the resurrection of our bodies when Christ returns (Luke 21:28). A covenantal and communal significance Understanding the Greek word for redemption also brings with it significant implications for our relationship with God and others. A treasured possession (peripoiēsis) 1 Peter 2:9 refers to believers as "a people for his own possession (peripoiēsis)." The Greek term highlights that God did not simply purchase us to release us, but to acquire and preserve us as his treasured property. This identity echoes the Old Testament concept of Israel as God's segullah, his special, prized possession. Motivating holiness - HOLY MOTIVATION BATMAN The knowledge that we belong to God motivates believers to live holy lives and not grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). The infinite cost of our redemption, the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18–19), calls believers to live not for themselves but for Christ.
