Whether to buy a house or go to college are major financial decisions, but so is deciding when to take Social Security.It's true—tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, are on the line when deciding when to start Social Security benefits. Eddie Holland joins us today to help make the decision easier.Eddie Holland is a Senior Private Wealth Advisor and partner of Blue Trust in Greenville, South Carolina. He's also a CPA, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®).A Common Recommendation—But Not a One-Size-Fits-AllWhen it comes to retirement, one of the most common questions people ask is: When should I start taking Social Security benefits? It's a vital decision that affects not only your income but also your long-term financial strategy and even your legacy.It's generally recommended to wait until at least full retirement age (66 or 67), but that doesn't mean it's the best choice for everyone. While delaying Social Security allows your benefits to grow up to 8% annually after full retirement age, thanks to what's called a delayed retirement credit, we must remember that each situation is unique.Six Key Factors to ConsiderHere are several factors that should guide your decision:1. Reduction vs. Growth of BenefitsTaking Social Security early reduces benefits. Delaying past full retirement age increases benefits. That tradeoff is foundational to your strategy.2. Cash Flow NeedsIf you retire before full retirement age and need income, you might begin drawing Social Security early to meet immediate needs. Some people may need to pay off debt or cover living expenses.3. Charitable Giving GoalsInterestingly, some retirees choose to take Social Security early in order to increase their generosity. Some people start taking benefits specifically to give more, either during retirement or as part of a legacy plan. 4. Health and LongevityYour health and family history play a significant role. If you don't expect to live well into your 80s or 90s, you might opt to draw earlier. But if you're healthy and expect a longer life, delaying could offer more value over time.5. Legacy and InheritanceYou can't leave your Social Security benefits to heirs, but you can leave your investment portfolio. This means some people opt to draw Social Security sooner in order to preserve their portfolio for giving or inheritance purposes.6. Tax PlanningSocial Security benefits can be taxable depending on your income. Some people delay benefits until a year they anticipate being in a lower tax bracket, strategically minimizing the tax impact.A Bonus Strategy: The “Mulligan”In some cases, there is a lesser-known but potentially powerful option: the withdrawal application.If you start taking Social Security before full retirement age and change your mind within the first 12 months, you can actually ‘undo' it.” You'll need to repay the benefits you received, but the Social Security Administration treats it as if you never started. You then have the option to restart at a later date, potentially at a higher benefit.This strategy can be especially useful during periods of market volatility when withdrawing from your investment portfolio might not be ideal.The Bottom LineThere's no universal right age at which to begin drawing Social Security. It really depends on your personal situation—your income needs, health, tax strategy, and goals for generosity and legacy.Wise financial planning starts with understanding your options and aligning those choices with your values and calling.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How much is enough? My wife and I have 10 properties, including the one we live in. Because of COVID and a flood, I've been rehabbing them for the last few years. My wife is 71 and still working, and I'm wondering if we should continue fixing them up to maximize profit, or we should just hold them as they are, even if we get less money.I'm near retirement with $2 million saved and a good pension. Should I spend $3,300-$7,600 on a $20,000 term life policy, or is it unnecessary given my financial situation?I have assets but don't work. Can I gift my RMD to my church and not have it counted on my income tax for 2026?I'm taking early retirement from the government, and I'm wondering about what to do with my thrift savings.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Social Security Administration (SSA.gov)Blue TrustWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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.

•Darrin Patterson knows it is nothing short of God's favor miraculously healed from cancer, what many consider fate and simply good fortune. As a recording artist andmusical genius, his production and song-writing gifts have opened doors for him to share the stage with gospel greats such as Karen Clark-Sheard, Fred Hammond and Tasha Page-Lockhart, to name a few. His unique sound and flavor, coupled with the anointing of God, can be compared with the likes of Tye Tribbett and Israel Houghton, reaching audiences to the core of their being long after he's taken his seat.

The group's exclusive sound and unapologetic anointing was sure to move the hearts of men and women worldwide, prompting them to seek true transformation through life in Jesus Christ. Realizing that nothing occurs by happenstance or luck, Patterson is strategically committed to reaching the nations through the ministry of music and song, bringing greater glory to God.•Since the disbandment of Darrin Patterson & Promise, he's devoted his time and efforts to his debut album, “The Road”. His lead single, “Love You Forever” hasaudiences of all ages and backgrounds raving in worship, leaving a mark that can't be erased.

"So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom." - Psalm 90:12 If you're a few years from retirement and your savings aren't quite where you want them, you might feel like you've run out of time. But maybe you don't need a time machine to solve the problem. Today, Matt Bell joins us with some encouraging words about beefing up retirement savings.Matt Bell is the Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Surprising Power of Working a Little LongerIn 2018, a Stanford study called The Power of Working Longer made a compelling discovery: delaying retirement by just three to six months can have the same impact on retirement readiness as saving an additional 1% of income every year for 30 years.Yes, really.This is largely due to two factors:Higher Social Security Benefits – For every month you delay past full retirement age, your benefit increases by 2/3 of 1% (8% annually). Better Annuity Rates – The older you are when purchasing an annuity, the more monthly income you'll receive for the same investment.But there's a caveat: the study is based on specific assumptions that may not match your financial situation.What the Study Assumes—and Why It MattersThe Stanford study uses a fictional worker named “John” who:Started saving at age 36Saved 6% of income and received a 3% matchRetired at 66 and claimed Social Security immediatelyUsed all savings to buy an inflation-indexed annuityIn reality, your income, savings rate, Social Security timing, and withdrawal strategy may differ widely. Not to mention, indexed annuities like the one in the study are no longer widely available. So while the study provides encouragement, its specifics shouldn't be universally applied.If you can delay claiming Social Security, it can significantly boost your lifelong income. For example, waiting until age 70 instead of 66 could result in a monthly check that's 24% higher. You'd need to live roughly 12 more years to “break even,” but many retirees today are living well into their 80s and beyond.Social Security is essentially a government-backed, inflation-adjusted annuity, making it a powerful foundation for retirement income.More Benefits to Working LongerBeyond Social Security, staying employed offers additional financial and emotional perks:More Contributions – Additional working years allow you to save more and delay withdrawals.Shorter Retirement Span – Fewer retirement years mean your nest egg doesn't have to stretch as far.Health & Community – Work often provides routine, purpose, and social interaction—elements many retirees miss.Working longer isn't just a financial decision—it impacts your time, relationships, and expectations. If you've long looked forward to travel, family time, or volunteering, extending your career might feel like a loss. That's why it's essential to consider both the math and the meaning.Couples should prayerfully approach retirement planning together. Decisions about timing affect both spouses, especially when only one is working. Unequal expectations can lead to tension, so it's essential to:Talk openly about your hopes and concernsUnderstand your financial picture as a teamChoose unity over independence in decision-makingThis is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make as a couple.How Much Do You Really Need?You may have heard that you need 70–80% of your pre-retirement income. That's a good rule of thumb, but it's far better to run the numbers yourself. Some costs (like commuting or saving for retirement) may go down. Others (like healthcare or travel) may go up. The best approach? Create a post-retirement budget based on your unique goals and lifestyle.If you're behind on retirement savings, don't panic—and don't go it alone. Tools on the Social Security website can help you run scenarios based on your age and income. Brokerages like Fidelity or Schwab offer annuity estimators. Most importantly, seek wise counsel and pray through your decisions with your spouse.If you'd like to read the full article from Sound Mind Investing that we discussed during this episode, read Matt's article titled Retirement Preparedness—What a Difference a Little Time Can Make at SoundMindInvesting.com. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I now have the money from my tax return to pay my property taxes, due in two installments—one in May and one six months later. Should I go ahead and pay it all now since I have the funds, or is there a wise short-term investment I could consider in the meantime?Is there a reliable resource or organization that can provide information on charities that are requesting donations, such as groups like America Cares, CARE, or Mercy Ships?What are your thoughts on the cryptocurrency XRP? Is it something worth considering?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Sound Mind InvestingRetirement Preparedness — What a Difference a Little Time Can Make by Matt Bell (Sound Mind Investing Article)Social Security Administration (SSA.gov)ECFA | Charity Navigator | Ministry WatchFidelity | Charles SchwabWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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.

Join us on Madison's Notes as we sit down with George Selgin, senior fellow and director emeritus of the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives and professor emeritus of economics at the University of Georgia. In this insightful conversation, Selgin unpacks the myths and realities of FDR's New Deal through the lens of his book, False Dawn: The New Deal and the Promise of Recovery, 1933–1947 (University of Chicago Press, 2025). While the New Deal is often celebrated as a bold and successful response to the Great Depression, Selgin argues that many of its policies actually prolonged economic suffering—with unemployment remaining staggeringly high years later. Drawing on extensive historical and economic analysis, he separates the New Deal's successes from its failures, examines the distinct roles of fiscal and monetary policy, and reveals the overlooked factor that truly ended the Great Depression (hint: it wasn't just WWII). This episode challenges conventional narratives and offers crucial lessons for navigating future economic crises. Tune in for a nuanced discussion on why we must assess policy decisions carefully—learning from the past to build a more resilient future.

Universities are under attack, but what exactly are the threats? How does free speech in the last 10 years compare to today? What do we stand to lose if higher education collapses? In this episode, Brandice Canes-Wrone dives into the major threats facing universities—from defunding to restrictions on free expression—and what we can do to solve them. We explore the history of universities, from their religious roots to the transformative impact of the GI Bill, examine how America's global leadership is tied to the strength of its higher education system, and discuss why universities must remain vital spaces for intellectual experimentation, free inquiry, and personal growth.

In this episode, Brandice Canes-Wrone dives into the major threats facing universities—from defunding to restrictions on free expression—and what we can do to solve them. We explore the history of universities, from their religious roots to the transformative impact of the GI Bill, examine how America's global leadership is tied to the strength of its higher education system, and discuss why universities must remain vital spaces for intellectual experimentation, free inquiry, and personal growth.

In this episode, I connect with Seth Kaplan, author of the recent book "Fragile Neighborhoods" and a recent article "The Real User Interface: Recovering Our Neighborhoods," for a conversation about the challenges of our current community designs and how we can make our neighborhoods less fragile, or to channel Nassim Taleb, make our neighborhoods "Anti-Fragile" once again.Seth argues that our planners and engineers have built a physical landscape optimized for cars but minimized for actual human relationships, suggesting that the automobile is arguably the technology that has made the biggest impact on our associational life while our spread-out community design isolates and divides, weakening the bonds that tie us together. This is especially problematic for children, whose opportunities for spontaneous free play—and the constructive friction that self-organized activities create—are further limited when the physical landscape discourages exploration. He emphasizes that having meaningful destinations within comfortable walking distance is key to building strong ties between us.Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nicholas Giordano tells the extraordinary but often overlooked story of Robert Morris & Haym Salomon: The Men Who Financed American Freedom. While the Revolution was fought with muskets and courage, it was won with money, and these two patriots provided it. From Salomon's imprisonment by the British to the desperate scramble for $20,000 that saved the Yorktown campaign, this episode reveals how their financial sacrifices helped secure American independence. Without Morris and Salomon, the Revolution may have collapsed before victory was ever possible. Professor Giordano reveals how these forgotten patriots risked everything for liberty and why their names deserve a place alongside America's most celebrated founders. Episode Highlights: The dramatic moment when George Washington demanded, “Send for Haym Salomon,” to save the Yorktown campaign. How Robert Morris created a financial system from scratch to sustain the Revolution and died in debt for it. The little-known story of Salomon's arrest, espionage, and tireless fundraising efforts under British surveillance.

From addiction to Czech prison: Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe shares his journey of sobriety and accountability in extreme metal's unforgiving world.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1150What We Discuss with Randy Blythe:In hindsight, Randy Blythe is grateful his metal band, Lamb of God, grew a gradual following over 30 years instead of catching instant fame and fortune. He credits this slow growth from humble beginnings for his survival, maintaining perspective and gratitude for the band's success.After battling alcoholism for 22 years, Randy made a life-saving choice in 2010 that he's maintained ever since: sobriety over ennui.In 2012, Randy was arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges after a fan died following a concert two years prior. Despite advice not to return, he chose to face trial to give the family answers and was eventually acquitted.Randy emphasizes the importance of regularly examining and questioning your own beliefs — despite how scary the answers you find might be.If you feel powerless and you're looking for a small way to have a big, positive impact on the world, Randy suggests joining the National Bone Marrow Registry (formerly Be The Match). It's free, only requires a simple cheek swab, and you could potentially save someone's life. Contributions are especially needed from underrepresented minority donors.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In this episode, Janet Michael, host of The Valley Today, spoke with Jenny Grooms, the Executive Director for the foundations of Valley Health, about the innovative Stronger Together campaign. This initiative aims to enhance various aspects of healthcare in the Valley Health system, focusing on mental health, heart health, and extending care accessibility. Valley Health, a nonprofit health system, relies on its foundation to segregate charitable dollars from operational funds. Jenny highlighted their recent projects at Warren Memorial Hospital, which features recreational trails and the Bedside Connect program. These initiatives underscore the dual importance of physical and mental well-being for both patients and healthcare staff. The trails offer a mental respite for the staff, while Bedside Connect minimizes the need for families to travel, allowing remote interactions with patients and doctors. The Stronger Together campaign addresses three primary pillars - mental health, heart health, and accessibility. The mental health aspect emerged from a community health needs assessment, identifying mental health as a top priority. Plans include building a mental health pavilion with comprehensive outpatient programs. For heart health, the campaign will expand the heart and vascular center, adding procedure rooms and new technologies to improve treatments for conditions like atrial fibrillation. The accessibility pillar focuses on creating a mobile fleet for health clinics and mammography to reach underserved rural areas. Valley Health is leveraging technology to bring healthcare directly to the community. The mobile mammography unit and the mobile health clinic are ground-breaking initiatives designed to overcome the barriers of distance and transportation, which are significant issues in the rural region. The mobile units offer services such as screenings and telehealth consultations, making it easier for individuals to receive timely care without the stress of extensive travel, thereby promoting better health outcomes. Funding for the Stronger Together campaign has been a community-driven effort. The campaign, with an ambitious goal of raising $20 million over three years, has already secured $17.1 million during its initial phase. Contributions have come from various avenues such as individual donors, grants, and matching funds. Valley Health emphasizes flexible giving options, allowing donors to contribute through methods like IRAs, stocks, or even estate inclusion. Jenny explains that charitable giving not only benefits the community but also offers tax advantages to the donors. She encourages those interested to visit Valley Health's website for detailed information and to explore diverse giving options. The heartfelt conversation also shed light on how Valley Health ensures transparency and efficiency in utilizing donations. The collaborative efforts from medical staff, businesses, and community members are pivotal in achieving the campaign's goals. Such collective participation underscores the campaign's theme - being stronger together. Jenny affirmed that every contribution, no matter how small, plays a significant role in providing better healthcare infrastructure and services. For more information or to make a contribution, community members are encouraged to visit Valley Health's website at valleyhealthlink.com/stronger. The online portal offers easy navigation to learn more about the campaign, its impact, and how to get involved.

In the last 150 years, few things have created disputes in Jewish communities, in the way Eruvin has. Why? What makes an Eruv so very different to Kashrus? And in hindsight can we now work out who was right? Could Yerushalayim hold the key?

What does a general education from an Ivy League mean? What structures produce the course catalogues that students can choose to customize their education from? Is a world-class degree a world-class education? In this episode, we sit down with the three authors of Slacking: A Guide A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation (Encounter Books, 2025). Adam Kissel, Madison Marino Doan, and Rachel Alexander Cambre guide us through their process of collaboration and their argument that Ivy League institutions are not providing students with a quality education. Through the saturation of DEI-coded or hyper-specialized courses, they argue, students lack access to classical education and Western civilization–based instruction that would better serve their intellectual development. The authors discuss their approach to building the argument, the origins of their idea, and what students should keep in mind when selecting their schools and course lists. Adam Kissel is a visiting fellow for higher education reform in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation. He is a board member of the University of West Florida, Southern Wesleyan University, and the National Association of Scholars. Rachel Alexander Cambre teaches for Belmont Abbey College's new Master of Arts in Classical and Liberal Education program. A visiting fellow in the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Politics and Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation from 2022 to 2024, she researches and writes on liberal arts education and American political thought. She held a research postdoctoral fellowship at the James Madison Program from 2019-2020. Madison Marina Doan is a senior research associate in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation.

In this episode of The Power of Zero Show, host David McKnight looks at Doug Andrew's recent video in which he implored his audience to never use a Roth IRA or a Roth 401(k) again. Andrew sees Indexed Universal Life insurance (IUL) as far superior and believes it should be the source of the vast majority of your distributions in retirement. While David likes IUL in certain circumstances, he isn't a fan of sales strategies that debase every other viable tax-free alternative in an effort to exalt IULs. For David, the video is riffed with errors, exaggerations and omissions. Moreover, Andrew's video appears to have an obvious pre-commitment to persuading you to reposition the lion's share of your retirement savings into an IUL. In the video, Doug Andrew's liking for IUL as the top investment vehicle is evident. At the beginning of his video, Andrew says that he will explain why the IUL is far superior to the Roth IRA. David believes that the choice should never be between a Roth IRA and an IUL or between a Roth 401(k) and an IUL. Remember: your tax-free strategy can incorporate as many as SIX DIFFERENT STREAMS of tax-free income, not just the IUL… And every one of these tax-free income strategies has unique qualities that set them apart from all the others. Don't forget about what your #1 goal should be: to take advantage of every tax-free nook and cranny in the IRS tax code. David lists the qualities that tools such as Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s and Roth conversions have and that IULs do not have. One of the unique things about IULs is that they give you a death benefit that doubles as long-term care and helps grow your money safely and productively. David touches upon what he considers “wild claims” featured in Doug Andrew's video. An example of inaccurate or untrue information shared by Andrew is that the IUL's expenses will be paid out of the money that would have otherwise gone to pay a tax… which is wrong! Contributions to Roth IRAs and IULs are both made with after-tax dollars. “If anyone ever debases a Roth IRA or a Roth 401(k) in an attempt to sell you an IUL, you should run – not walk – the other way,” concludes David.

Why has trust in the news media declined? How can we combat biased reporting and the spread of misinformation? And how do these challenges compare to the media landscape during America's founding era? Join us as we explore these pressing questions with William English, a political economist and Associate Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. Professor English will discuss his long-standing research on the intersection of ethics, media, and politics, including the Founding Fathers' views on press freedom and its vital role in maintaining democracy. He'll also examine the growing problem of “hermeneutic unintelligibility”—where conflicting worldviews make meaningful dialogue between opposing groups nearly impossible. Finally, he'll explore potential technological solutions, such as open-source protocols, that could help restore trust and transparency in media.
