Many seniors today face significant financial strain—some even resort to borrowing to cover their basic living expenses.For retirees on a fixed income, a reverse mortgage can be a practical solution to access the equity in their home and bring much-needed stability. Harlan Accola joins us today with a message of hope for those looking for margin in their retirement years.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Real Issue: Seniors Struggling with Credit Card DebtNearly 70% of seniors that Movement speaks with are carrying credit card debt. These aren't impulsive spenders buying luxury items. They're retired, living on fixed incomes, and they're relying on credit just to pay for basics like groceries and prescriptions. They're often asset-rich but cash-poor—sitting on significant home equity but drowning in interest rates of 25% to 35%.Many people suffer silently, too embarrassed to discuss their financial challenges. They don't realize that the equity in their home could be used to ease their burden without losing the home they love.One of the biggest hurdles is the spread of misinformation. People believe they'll lose their house, or that a reverse mortgage is inherently bad.In truth, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)—the most common form of reverse mortgage—is federally insured and designed to protect both the homeowner and their heirs. Properly structured, it can be a safe and responsible tool.Who Should Consider a Reverse Mortgage?Anyone over 62 with at least 50–60% equity in their home should take a closer look. A typical scenario might be someone still making monthly mortgage payments, even with a small remaining balance. Those payments—$800, $1,500 or more—can strain fixed retirement budgets.One common misconception is that you lose control of your home. In fact, you and your spouse can stay in your home for life, even if one of you passes away. You can choose how to receive the funds—from monthly income to a lump sum to the most popular option: a line of credit.Whether it's a car repair or a medical bill, reverse mortgage lines of credit provide flexibility. And it's all about wise stewardship.At the heart of this decision is a stewardship principle. As Proverbs 24:3 reminds us, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” It doesn't make sense to live in a paid-off home but struggle to pay for groceries while racking up 30% interest on credit cards. That's not good stewardship.Reverse mortgages aren't for everyone—but many avoid them simply due to fear or misunderstanding. For some, it could be a life-giving solution.If you're entering—or well into—retirement and want to explore whether a reverse mortgage might be a fit for your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 71 and still working, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep it up. Would a reverse mortgage help me eliminate my monthly mortgage payment, allowing me to manage better if I need to stop working?I have recently retired and hold a 401(k) account with Fidelity. Someone mentioned a company called Big Money Retirement Solution, which offers a 9% annual return on an annuity. Should I consider moving half of my portfolio there?I heard there's a way to get a free credit report that the government requires. How do I access that?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Movement MortgageAnnualCreditReport.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Africa is the world's youngest continent — and its future is everyone's future. By 2030, 70% of sub-Saharan Africa's population will be under the age of 30. By century's end, one in three people on the planet will be African. What happens in Africa will shape the course of the 21st century. That's why Global Dispatches is proud to launch a bold new podcast series: The Future of Africa. Produced in partnership with the African Union, The Elders, and the United Nations Foundation, this series explores how Africa's rising generation is transforming the world—and how global leaders are engaging with this dynamic shift. Hosted by the powerhouse Kenyan journalist Adelle Onyango, The Future of Africa features intergenerational conversations between former presidents, Nobel Peace Prize winners, diplomats, and trailblazing young leaders. These are solutions-driven discussions tackling the most urgent issues of our time: climate, education, economic growth, governance, and more. Africa's influence on global decision-making is rising as the world's youngest and fastest-growing continent — but will young people be given the power to shape it? Chukwuemeka Eze lays out why legitimacy at home is the foundation for influence abroad, while Chido Mpemba champions young people's leadership in every sphere of governance. Jake Obeng-Bediako warns against “waithood” as the lost years between education and meaningful leadership, and calls for young Africans to be decision-makers. Together, they highlight ways young African countries are navigating geopolitical shifts, increasing their role in multilateral forums, and leveraging demographic and economic momentum. This is a call-to-action for anyone who believes Africa should lead as an innovator on the world stage. Guest Speakers Jake Bediako, Director of Policy and Implementation for Global Citizens Move Afrika Initiative. Dr. Chukwuemeka Eze, Director for Democratic Futures in Africa at the Open Society Foundation Chido Mpemba, formerly the African Union's Special Youth Envoy and currently the Advisor to the African Union Commission Chairperson for Women, Gender and Youth.

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 41: A Tale of Two Strategies and Chapter 42: How to Identify an Advisor You Can Trust.LEARNING: Passive investing is still the winner. If something is worth doing, it's worth paying someone to do it for you. “A good wealth advisor helps you build a plan and choose the best investment vehicles that'll give you the best chance of achieving your life and financial goals.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 41: A Tale of Two Strategies and Chapter 42: How to Identify an Advisor You Can Trust.Chapter 41: A Tale of Two StrategiesIn Chapter 41, Larry explains why investors who have implemented the types of passive strategies recommended in his book have experienced “the best of times.” On the other hand, for those who continue to play the game of active investing, it has generally been the “worst of times.”“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Charles Dickens may have been writing about the French Revolution, but Larry observes that that line rings true for today's investors, too. Depending on how you approach the market, your experience can feel like either a triumph or a disaster.If you're betting on active management, it's the worst of timesAccording to Larry, people who still believe in the promise of active fund managers as the winning strategy are likely to find themselves in the “season of Darkness.” Over the years, the ability of active managers to consistently outperform has dwindled significantly.You may be surprised to learn that in 1998, when Charles Ellis wrote his famous book “Winning the Loser's Game”, about 20% of actively managed funds produced statistically significant returns after adjusting for risk. That figure was already discouraging.A later study in 2014 (Conviction in Equity Investing) found that the percentage of managers producing any net alpha had dropped from 20% in 1993 to just 1.6%.Larry reminds investors who are holding on to the hope that active management will deliver the goods that they are swimming against a strong current. The odds aren't in their favour—and neither are the expenses.It's the best of times for passive investorsIf you've embraced passive investing, it's the best of times. The resounding success of this strategy, backed by a wealth of data and real-world results, should instill a strong sense of confidence in your investment decisions.For investors who believe that markets are efficient...

We break down his 10-year community play that's generated more qualified leads than any marketing campaign, his three-stage AI framework that prevents those expensive pilot disasters, and the hard lesson about saying no to bad-fit clients earlier.About Cyril LouisCyril has 17 years of experience in digital and cultivates a dual skill by focusing on CRM topics & customer knowledge as well as on engagement & digital marketing aspects.He worked on numerous missions aimed at defining new strategies as ‘Customer Centric Company‘ and ‘Data Driven Company‘ via customer journeys for a better engagement.

   Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes will start in the first pre season game at Arizona Saturday night, even as most other teams are not playing their QB1.  They tried it in Indy and lost their starting quaterback to injury right away.    In LA, the Chargers made their left tackle the highest paid lineman in the game last week.  Then, Rashawn Slater suffers a season ending injury.  This game is brutal.    The Royals wrap up a wicked road trip beginning with a crazy good pitching matchup at Minnesota Friday night.    Greg Gutfeld from Fox News appears on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  The United States really wants the dictator in Venezuela out.  A Joe biden advisor says they declined a cognitive test for the former prez.  A fake nurse is caught in Florida.    And our song of the week is 50 years old and "voiced" by Hollywood's biggest legend ever.  It is perfect this week after a member of Congress announced she's a Guatemalan first and American second.  

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” — Proverbs 12:15Wise financial decisions don't happen in a vacuum—they often require wise counsel. But how do you know if the person giving you advice shares your convictions and values? Brian Cochran joins us today to explore how biblical wisdom should shape not just our decisions, but the voices we trust.Brian Cochran is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and also serves as the Chief Stewardship Officer at John Moore Associates. The “Why” Shapes EverythingAt John Moore Associates, a recently celebrated milestone tells a powerful story—over $50 million in charitable giving facilitated through the families they serve. This achievement isn't about accolades or financial performance. It reflects a deeper belief: money is a gift from God, but it was never meant to be the ultimate goal for an individual. It's a tool designed for Kingdom impact.Certified Kingdom Advisors® take a distinct approach to financial planning. While they certainly aim to help clients grow their wealth, they are equally—if not more—committed to helping them give it away with wisdom and purpose. The core question isn't just, “How can you accumulate more?” but, “How can you steward it more faithfully?”Their mission is to walk alongside families and help them become wise and generous stewards of the resources God has entrusted to them. That vision informs every client meeting, every piece of advice, and every long-term strategy. They don't see themselves merely as business professionals—they see themselves as called to influence families toward biblically grounded financial decisions that reflect God's character and priorities.They refer to this role as being “stewards of stewards.” Their job is to help others manage God's money in a way that aligns with His will—not just to build bigger portfolios, but to foster hearts that reflect His generosity.The Art of Financial PlanningAlthough financial planning encompasses technical elements such as taxes, investments, and estate strategies, it is far more than just numbers. Financial planning is as much an art as it is a science.That's because personal values, priorities, and convictions ultimately shape every financial decision. Two families with identical balance sheets may receive vastly different advice depending on the worldview and values of their advisor. Even the most technically sound recommendations can lead a client astray if they don't align with their faith or purpose.Families excited to step into greater generosity have occasionally faced resistance—not from financial limitations, but from professionals who didn't understand why anyone would want to give so much away. Similarly, some clients have discovered their portfolios include investments in industries that conflict with their convictions, such as pornography, abortion, or addictive products. These disconnects are more common than many realize.When an advisor doesn't understand a client's “why,” they may unintentionally work against it.When Values AlignBy contrast, working with an advisor who shares a client's biblical values can be transformational. Rather than resist generosity, they champion it. They help clients move beyond conventional financial goals and pursue eternal ones—cheering them on as they give, invest, and plan with Kingdom purpose.This values alignment also fosters deeper conversations about contentment and purpose. Advisors who understand the biblical call to stewardship help clients shift from an accumulation mindset to one that asks, “How much is enough?” That change can lead to greater peace, joy, and impact.It also affects how clients invest. With the guidance of a biblically aligned advisor, many discover new confidence and clarity by investing in companies or funds that reflect their values. In many cases, clients feel more engaged and excited knowing that their investments are not only earning a return but also honoring God.Questions to Ask a Potential AdvisorFor those seeking this kind of partnership, here are a few essential questions to ask any prospective advisor:What are your core values, both personally and as a firm?How do those values shape the way you serve your clients?How do you define success in a client relationship?How are you compensated? Are there any potential conflicts of interest?Most importantly: How will your advice support and strengthen my faith?These questions open the door to alignment—and can help avoid unnecessary confusion or compromise down the road.Many Christians are already working with an advisor, but over time begin to sense that their values may not fully align. That tension shouldn't be ignored. It may be time to ask the same questions listed above. If the answers fall short, it might be wise to explore a new advisor who shares a biblical worldview.Though changing advisors can feel daunting, staying with one who doesn't understand or support a client's convictions may come at a greater cost.A Higher Calling in Financial AdviceUltimately, stewardship is at the heart of every financial decision. Money is not just a personal asset—it's a divine responsibility. A truly aligned financial advisor serves not just as a guide for wealth management but also as a partner in helping Christians honor God with all that He has entrusted to them.For those looking to take that next step with confidence, a nationwide directory of Certified Kingdom Advisors is available at FaithFi.com.

What if the key to faster growth isn't doing more, but thinking differently? In this episode, I share insights from The Science of Scaling by Ben Hardy—a book I strongly recommend to every advisor looking to break out of the slow-growth cycle. It challenges the traditional, linear approach that so many advisors follow and replaces it with a smarter, more strategic mindset.

This episode was produced in partnership With AgVend: https://www.agvend.com/MFA, Inc: https://mfa-inc.com/ FoA 269: [Tech-Enabled Advisor Series] Cooperatives Embrace Digital Tools with KC Graner of Central Farm ServiceI'm bringing back the Tech-Enabled Advisor Series to better understand agtech through the lens of the BUYER of that technology rather than just the entrepreneurs or investors. By talking to the buyers rather than the sellers of the tech, we got an unfiltered introduction to the technology and more importantly got to see how its used and the VALUE that it provides users. To do this, I partner with a company and together we invite one of their customers onto the show. The catch is that they're not allowed to script these individuals or dictate what to say or edit it after it is recorded - it has to be real and unfiltered. So today's episode featuring Jason Weirich of MFA was produced in partnership with AgVend. Since launching their first platform in 2020, AgVend's technology is used by more than 35% of the North American ag retail market. Today you'll hear how one of those retailers, MFA, launched a digital platform called MFA Connect with AgVend.Jason Weirich is the executive vice president of operations at MFA, which has around 45,000 member owners. They are one of the largest ag retailers in the country, consistently in the top 10 of the CropLife 100. Jason oversees the retail operations located throughout Missouri and surrounding states including Southern IA, Eastern KS, Northeast AR and Northwest Oklahoma. He also oversees the wholesale operations which span the entire midwest from the rocky mountains to Ohio. Prior to joining MFA 15 years ago, Jason was the state extension weed specialist with the University of Missouri. He joined the cooperative as the director of agronomy and says he walked a lot of fields for nine years before eventually moving into his current role. Our conversation today touches on the the relevance of the cooperative model, how he's making difficult decisions in this tough farm economy, why they implemented MFA Connect and the results they are seeing from this digital platform and customer portal, the role of the ag retailer in the changing farmer demographic, and how he goes about implementing change in a big industry and a large organization. About AgVend:AgVend is the leading provider of digital enablement solutions that transform the way agribusinesses operate their organizations and engage with their customers. AgVend's white-labeled system of action streamlines workflows from field to office, enabling frontline teams to offer more efficient and differentiated customer interactions.

Universities have always been places of protest and dissent, but University of Toronto English professor Randy Boyagoda argues that it should be something more — a place for productive discourse. He says we must check the assumption that our lived experience, well-formed arguments, or even knee-jerk responses are all there is to any given matter. That means staying open to the possibility of being wrong.In January 2024, he became the university's Advisor on Civil Discourse, the first position of its kind in Canada, prompted in part by campus convulsions since October 7th. Boyagoda explores the question: what are universities for? *This episode originally aired on Oct. 7, 2024.

There aren't enough stories out there of people who have fibromyalgia and who have found ways to feel better. Many of our doctors tell us there's nothing we can do, and it's not uncommon to hear about how terrible life with fibromyalgia is. But while it can be debilitating, it's not a life sentence. There's always something else you can try to manage your fibromyalgia symptoms. Life adjustments will have to be made, but feeling better is absolutely possible, and all of our students have experienced this for themselves. After taking the Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor® program, graduates see an average of 50% improvement in their symptoms, and after taking the Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® program, are often nearly symptom-free. Most fibromyalgia medications only offer 15-30% improvement, if they work for the individual at all. Today, in the eleventh installment of our Stories of Hope and Healing, you're going to hear the stories of four recent graduates, as told by them. For this class, the Advisor students showed an average improvement of 66%, while our Coach students achieved scores that align with what some people consider remission. In this episode you'll hear about how Jeannette overcame perfectionism and what she did to pace herself, why Jeannette wanted to become a coach, what she's learned from both client wins and challenges, the tools and strategy that most helped Jeannette improve her Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) score, Jeannette's ideal coaching clients, her advice for perfectionists just starting their healing journey, why Shelly chose community and coaching for her fibromyalgia journey, how her coach, Kim, helped her learn to manage her pace and setbacks, how Shelly achieved a 59% FIQR improvement through small, sustainable changes, Shelly's advice for listeners who feel overwhelmed, what it was like for Jacqui to start the class during her worst fibro flare, the major differences in Jacqui's life before and after coaching, the specific steps Jacqui took with her coach around medication, nutrition, and mindset, what inspired Jacqui to become a coach and help other fibromyalgia patients, Lauren's experience being diagnosed during the pandemic and with two young children, Lauren's two-year journey of gradual healing and the long-term strategies that made a difference, success stories from Lauren's clients, how Lauren supports mothers of neurodivergent children, Lauren's encouragement for moms navigating both fibromyalgia and caregiving, how you can get support on your fibromyalgia journey, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

Financial advisors frequently seek out relationships with Centers Of Influence (COIs) such as accountants and attorneys, but sometimes find that it's hard to get referrals from these professionals. Advisor marketing expert Dan Allison believes this is because COIs fear putting their own reputations on the line and joins the show today to explore how financial advisors can reframe COI relationships by reducing that risk and building real trust over time. Dan is the owner of The Exchange, a virtual content platform and community focused on helping financial advisors master client acquisition and relationship-building. Listen in as he shares how to approach the first COI meeting to set the tone for a high-value relationship, why building credibility often takes months (or even years), and how to use client feedback to reinforce the COI's confidence in making future referrals. We also discuss creating regular touchpoints with COI partners, setting up COI mastermind groups to drive both learning and connection, and how finding partners who already serve your niche clients can lead to deeper, more consistent referral streams.

As a master Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, author, and fibro podcaster, the questions I'm asked more than any others are: How do I get better? How do I improve my Fibromyalgia so I can get back to living the life I want to live? While those sound like simple questions, they do not have simple answers. We all have similar symptoms, what helps you feel better may not be the thing that helps me feel better. We all have to find our own magic formula for what makes us feel best. I know from personal experience just how overwhelming it can be to find that formula on your own. That's why I created a training program in 2015 that would teach people just like you how to improve their own Fibromyalgia, and how to help others do the same. In this first episode of a special series where I'll be answering a lot of questions I get about our Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor® class and about becoming a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I want to start super basic. We're going over what a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® is, how that's different from a Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor®, why you should consider the Advisor class if you're a patient who just wants to feel better, who else the Advisor class is perfect for, what the certification aspect really means, the staggering statistics on how many participants see significant improvements in their symptoms by the end of the Advisor class.       Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique. The information you learn in this episode should be shared and discussed with your own healthcare providers. Don't like waiting?

Are you the biggest bottleneck in your business—and don't even realize it? You didn't build your company to babysit it. But if you're still the one making every call, solving every fire, and holding the reins so tightly no one else can lead...this episode is your wake-up call. In this second installment of the special mini-series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it's time for something new, Kris explores what it really means to step into the advisory consultant role for the very business you created and the team you built. If you've ever felt the urge to evolve beyond the business you built, this is your roadmap—and your invitation. It's not just about delegation. It's about identity. Because learning to release control doesn't start with your team—it starts with you. Letting go of being the person who approves every decision, solves every problem, or catches every dropped ball requires more than systems—it requires a shift in who you believe yourself to be. Kris walks through why founders get stuck in a cycle of over-functioning, how perfectionism masks fear, and why holding the metaphorical bat too tightly means no one else will dare take a swing. Here's what we explore: The difference between being essential and being in the way Why your team may be relying on you more than they need to What mentorship and true leadership actually look like How to grow your business by getting out of the weeds What really happens—emotionally and practically—when you loosen your grip This episode calls you forward—not to abandon your company, but to evolve into a different kind of leader: one who guides instead of manages, who advises instead of reacts, and who trusts her team to rise.
