Send a textIf you're in your 40s and quietly wondering if you're behind financially, behind in life, or behind where you thought you'd be, this episode is for you.So many women carry unspoken pressure to hit certain milestones by a certain age: marriage, children, financial stability, a “figured-out” life. And when our lives don't match that picture, it can feel like we missed something or missed God.But what if the timeline you're comparing yourself to didn't come from Scripture… but from society?In this episode of Hustle in Faith, we unpack what the Bible actually shows us about timing, purpose, and becoming, especially later in life. You'll hear powerful biblical examples of men and women God called after waiting, loss, obscurity, and refinement.This is a faith-based reframe for women who feel like they're starting over, redefining success, or being called into something new in midlife.You are not late.You are not behind.You may finally be aligned.If you're navigating singleness, career shifts, financial rebuilding, or a deeper spiritual awakening in your 40s, this conversation will bring clarity, peace, and biblical perspective. Reflection Question: Where did you think you'd be by now—and what is God inviting you to redefine in this season?If this episode encouraged you, share it with another woman who needs the reminder: God's timing is never late.Suggested Episodes:How Christian Women Can Build Confidence Without Compromising Their FaithActivate Your Calling: Create, Build, & Promote Your Gift Workshop Replay Video: https://hustleinfaith.gumroad.com/l/activateSign up to be notified about Faith to Launch Community: https://bit.ly/FaithtoLaunchPlease join me in my YouTube only series, 30 Days to Becoming a Stronger, More Confident You in Christ: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkkBA4-h1A56MxObeO__s873pdUnnWQ5

Redefining Greatness Through Hidden Humility If you've ever equated greatness with recognition, influence, or being noticed—even subtly—this message invites you to see Jesus' definition of greatness in a completely different light. Sermon Description What if everything you've been taught about greatness needs to be turned upside down? In this two-part message from Mark 9, Jesus radically redefines what it means to be great in the kingdom of God. Instead of pointing to visibility, influence, or recognition, He calls His followers to humility, hidden service, and a seriousness about holiness that challenges modern assumptions about faith and success. Across both episodes, Jesus confronts our desire to be seen and our tendency to tolerate quiet compromise. He exposes how our lives influence others—often more than we realize—and why true discipleship requires both humble service and decisive obedience. This message invites you to consider whether your faith is shaped more by cultural definitions of success or by the quiet, costly way of the cross. Scripture: Mark 9:30-50 Show Notes – Part 1 Why Jesus confronts the disciples' obsession with ranking The difference between worldly greatness and kingdom greatness Why humility shows up in how we serve, not how we're seen What it means to serve those who can never repay us How hidden obedience reveals true allegiance to Christ Resources + Links: Episode Site: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1448-1449/ Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: A Biblical Perspective on New Year's Resolutions Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com Series: Encountering Jesus

Markets appear strong as we head into 2026, but beneath the surface, risks may be rising faster than returns. Each January, CEO and CIO of Crossmark Global Investments Bob Doll joins us on the show at Faith and Finance to offer an annual outlook, and this year he characterizes the environment as a “high-risk bull market”—a market capable of gains but vulnerable to setbacks and volatility.Looking back to 2025, Doll believes his predictions were roughly “seven out of ten.” Corporate earnings proved far more resilient than many expected, and with the Federal Reserve avoiding aggressive tightening, markets continued to climb. Earnings, Doll notes, remain the lifeblood of stocks: as long as profits grow and the Fed is not hostile, equity markets tend to trend upward.For 2026, Doll's first prediction is that U.S. real GDP growth will improve modestly—from about 2% to roughly 2.5%. He attributes much of that to a large government spending package passed in an election year, providing stimulus to both households and businesses.However, inflation remains stubborn. Doll does not expect the Fed to reach its 2% target unless a recession occurs—something he does not foresee. Instead, he anticipates inflation closer to 3%, making “affordability” a defining political issue, especially around healthcare and housing, where structural challenges remain unresolved.On interest rates, Doll expects the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate in a narrow range—from the high 3% area to the mid-4% area—while credit spreads widen modestly. For bond portfolios, he favors short- to intermediate-maturity bonds over long-duration bonds.Corporate earnings should remain strong in 2026, though not at the exceptional pace of 2025. With consensus forecasts near 14% earnings growth—almost double the historical norm—Doll expects solid but not spectacular performance. As a result, he anticipates single-digit stock market returns, not another year of outsized double-digit gains.Sector-wise, Doll sees continued strength in financials, technology, and communication services—areas tied closely to artificial intelligence—while materials, discretionary, and utilities may lag. International stocks could also surprise investors. If they outperform U.S. equities for a second consecutive year, it would be the first such streak in two decades. Stronger liquidity, improved earnings abroad (especially in emerging markets), and potential dollar weakness all contribute—even though many Americans invest little overseas.Artificial intelligence remains a powerful driver of productivity and market speculation, though Doll expects volatility as investors sort out the true winners and losers.Faith-based investing, he believes, will continue its momentum as more individuals, advisors, and institutions seek alignment between values and capital. Politically, Doll predicts Republicans retain the Senate but lose the House, constraining major legislative ambitions.If 2026 proves to be a high-risk bull market, Doll's takeaway is straightforward: remain diversified, stay invested, and practice patient stewardship through uncertainty.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are at retirement age, and we have four retirement accounts: three from former employers and one Vanguard IRA. Altogether, there's about $200,000. Should we consider consolidating these accounts? And if so, is it best to consolidate them into the Vanguard IRA?My husband and I are both 70. He's retired, and a cancer survivor, and I'm still working and may work another five years. Our home and vehicles are paid off, and we have about $350,000 saved—roughly half in CDs and the rest in cash. I don't really know anything about stocks or bonds. Should we take any risk with our money at this stage, or leave it where it is?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Crossmark Global InvestmentsThe Sound Mind Investing Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Your Money From a Biblical Perspective by Austin Pryor with Mark BillerWisdom 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)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

One of the biggest concerns Christian writers have about building a writing platform is pride. Is it prideful to attach your name to your work? Does promoting your writing mean you're really just promoting yourself? In this episode, we tackle those questions head-on and look at what Scripture says about pride, humility, and having an accurate view of ourselves as writers. You'll learn how to distinguish true humility from false humility, how to examine your motives without becoming paralyzed, and how promoting your writing can be an act of faithful stewardship rather than self-exaltation.Links and resources:Learn more about working with me as your writing coach.Sign up for Pen Points, a weekly email to encourage you in your writing.Watch the podcast on YouTube.Read the blog version of the podcast.Download the “Christian Writer's Mindset Makeover”.The Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.
