Rob takes this opportunity to strongly advise against using debit cards, arguing that credit cards are superior for general spending for five key reasons.  For starters, debit card use does not build credit, making credit card use essential for improving your credit score, which is important for future borrowing like mortgages. Furthermore, credit cards offer better protection against fraud, often making the credit card company jointly liable under the Consumer Credit Act. But listen in as Rob reveals the ultimate benefit… BEST MOMENTS "People don't realise that debit cards are only good for one thing." "Number three proves actually that credit cards, if you use them well, are actually safer than debit cards." "You want the banks to take the risk, not you to take the risk."

This episode explores the divine commissioning that marks an apostolic call, the cost that comes with it, and the authority it carries to shift territories for the Kingdom. If you've ever felt called to build, pioneer, or plant, this conversation will help you discern the difference between going and being sent by God.

Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.It's the hedges and edges episode! Saul and Lucy have both been flexing their muscles on long-pole hedgecutters and lawnmowers this week. Machinery reliance always comes with the risk of breakdown, though, and both gardeners have had issues with their hedging equipment - at this point we either tinker, or upgrade! Pitmaston Pineapple apple has given a bumper harvest for Saul, and Lucy's fruit thinning has worked its magic, too - the fruit stores at Stonelands and Kingsland are burgeoning as a consequence.LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Tommy Kilpatrick – Welcome to Tommy Kilpatrick's approach to dealing with bank-issued alleged credit card debt by challenging its legitimacy. After writing a successful book, Kilpatrick signed a contract with an infomercial company. For six months, he promoted his book, anticipating a huge monthly payout. However, that didn't happen. Kilpatrick was left with $85,000 in credit card debt. He was stunned and depressed until he had an epiphany: a bank-issued credit card isn't a true credit card, and no real debt exists because a promissory note was never signed.He then sued all three banks in federal court, representing himself. While the judge dismissed the cases, Kilpatrick still won. The entire debt was completely removed from his credit report, with no negative marks or tax implications. Kilpatrick's legal filings argued that because the banks had no invoice or promissory note, there was no contract and therefore no debt.With total U.S. credit card debt over a trillion dollars, Kilpatrick's story offers a compelling alternative.

Every prophet is called to release the sound of heaven—but too often, obstacles rise up to silence that voice. In this episode, Michael & Deborah-Anne Velthuysen uncover the hidden barriers that block your prophetic voice and keep you from stepping fully into your authority. Your voice was created to shift atmospheres, break chains, and declare God's truth. But when intimidation, doubt, or past wounds take the driver's seat, your roar gets muted. Today, you'll learn how to recognize those obstacles and overcome them so your prophetic sound is unleashed without restraint. What You'll Learn: How past hurts, rejection, and intimidation choke your prophetic flow. Why the enemy fights so hard to keep prophets silent. Practical steps to dismantle every obstacle that blocks your roar.

In this episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane cover everything from IPOs making a comeback to Hamburger Helper as a recession indicator. They dive into venture-backed companies finally going public, debate whether Hamburger Helper sales say more about wallets or Ozempic, and unpack why America's biggest companies can't quite explain the upside of AI. The duo close out with a lively discussion on the Chase Sapphire Reserve's new $800 fee, what makes rewards cards worth it, and why being a “deadbeat” might actually be a compliment in the credit card world. Timestamps:  (01:20) Hot dogs, nutritionists, and the dangers of Hamburger Helper.  (03:16) Fall in Brooklyn, waffles in Shane's background, and Mikey's Pies.  (05:00) Conference recap – XYPN in Austin  (07:05) Looking ahead to the AICPA Personal Financial Planning Symposium in San Diego.  (08:15) IPOs are back – Figma, Klarna, StubHub, and more.  (14:04) Hamburger Helper as a recession indicator – joy vs. budgets.  (16:53) Grocery inflation, rice and beans, and sardines as a distressed shopper's delight.  (18:32) AI hype vs. reality – what America's top companies aren't saying.  (22:35) Nuclear power, Chernobyl obsessions, and AI's potential to cut through noise.  (25:47) Chase Sapphire Reserve hikes to $800 – perks, pitfalls, and who it's really for.  (29:44) Why business owners get a “cheat code” with rewards cards.

Anxiety and fear are the silent enemies that war against your calling. In this episode, Michael & Deborah-Anne Velthuysen uncover the spiritual roots of fear, why it grips so many prophets, and how you can step into peace and authority instead. Fear isn't just an emotion—it's a strategy of the enemy to silence your faith, weaken your roar, and stop your prophetic movement. But when you see it for what it is, you can break its hold and rise in courage. What You'll Learn: How anxiety and fear take root in the life of a prophet. Why fear often strikes hardest right before a breakthrough. Practical and spiritual keys to conquering fear with faith.

In this week's Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam Engst of TidBITS joins me to talk about his decision process on choosing an iPhone 17 over the 17 Pro. One of the things I like best about Adam is how, just like me, when he starts digging for an answer which should be knowable, he's like a dog with a bone and won't stop until he succeeds. The main decision point between the 17 and the 17 Pro is whether someone really does care about the 8X telephoto lens vs. the macro lens. We tried to figure out how many photos we really took with the 5X on the iPhone 16 Pro, but that turned out to be a much harder task than you would think. We tried Apple Photos smart albums, but for reasons you'll hear, you can't really do it that way. Using the open source command line ExifTool from exiftool.org/... (also available through Homebrew) and his able assistant ChatGPT, he was able to create a script that queried our Photos Libraries to determine how many photos we had taken in the last year using the different camera/lens combos on the iPhone 16 Pro. While you hear us talking he hadn't yet perfected his script but he eventually beat it into submission! Of course, Adam has written up an article describing this descent into madness and even published the script if you care to download it. You can find his article at tidbits.com/....

Now that silence has lost its grip, it's time to unleash the roar God put inside of you. In this episode, Michael & Deborah-Anne Velthuysen uncover the prophetic journey of unlocking your voice—releasing the sound of heaven through your words, worship, and witness. Your roar is more than volume—it's authority. It's the echo of God's covenant inside of you, breaking chains and setting the captives free. What You'll Learn: How to recognize what has kept your voice bound in fear, shame, or intimidation. Why unlocking your roar releases healing, breakthrough, and alignment for others. The difference between making noise and releasing a prophetic sound that shifts the atmosphere.

From AssetBuilder's Plano HQ, host Joey Badinger sits down with Adam Morse, Janet Griffith, and Tommy Williams to unpack America's debt picture—from household budgets to the federal balance sheet. We break down mortgages vs. auto/student/credit-card debt, what rising rates mean, how to use debt-to-income (DTI) the smart way (the 28/36 rule), and practical habits to avoid lifestyle creep and instant-gratification financing. You'll learn: How much U.S. households owe (and where it sits by generation) Why mortgages can be “productive” debt—and why long car loans aren't Current rate realities (mortgage, auto, student loans, credit cards) Exactly how to calculate your DTI (with target ranges) Behavior traps: BNPL, long auto terms, monthly-payment thinking What “deficits” mean at home and at the national level—and why they compound Hosts & Credentials: Joey Badinger (Lead Advisor), Adam Morse (Director of Advising), Janet Griffith (Senior Advisor), Tommy Williams (Associate Advisor), AssetBuilder, Plano, TX. Contact the show: https://www.assetbuilder.com Chapters 00:00 Intro & Disclaimer 00:32 Welcome, Hosts & Setup (Plano HQ) 01:00 What We're Covering: Consumer vs. National Debt 02:00 U.S. Household Debt Snapshot (Totals & Averages) 03:15 Debt by Age Cohort (30–39, 40–49 peak, etc.) 05:10 Gen Z, Mortgages & Down Payments 06:00 Is Debt “Bad”? Productive vs. Dangerous Debt 07:20 National Debt vs. GDP (Post-WWII to Today) 09:40 Auto Loans Deep Dive (Long Terms, Delinquencies) 12:10 Average Loan Sizes (New vs. Used) 13:00 Deficits at Home & Nationally—What It Means 14:20 Growth Limits, Demographics & Reality Check 16:00 Rate Check: Mortgage, Auto, Credit Cards, Student Loans 18:30 Emergency Funds > High-APR Credit Cards 20:10 BNPL & Instant-Gratification Traps 21:10 Know Your Biases (Impulse, Overconfidence) 22:40 Budgeting Habits That Actually Stick 26:10 How to Calculate DTI (28/36 Rule) 28:30 Lender Approval vs. Healthy DTI 31:00 Why 70+ Debt Can Be Risky (Context Matters) 33:00 Depreciating vs. Appreciating Assets (Cars vs. Homes) 34:20 Action Steps: Start Small, Delay Gratification 36:00 How to Contact & Subscribe 36:30 Sign-Off & Disclosure Key Takeaways Debt is a tool, not a villain. Mortgages can raise quality of life; revolving/consumer debt at high APRs can snowball. Auto loans are 2nd-largest consumer debt and loan terms are stretching—be wary of “just the monthly.” Credit-card APRs >20% make balances dangerous; build emergency savings to avoid swipes under stress. DTI targets: ≤28% housing (PITI+HOA), ≤36% total debts is healthy; 50%+ is a red flag. Behavior beats hacks: budget regularly, delay gratification, prefer used cars/shorter terms, question “need vs. want.” Hashtags & Keywords Keywords: consumer debt 2025, debt to income ratio, 28/36 rule, mortgage vs rent, auto loan terms, credit card APR, student loans, national debt vs GDP, budgeting tips, AssetBuilder advisors Hashtags: #PersonalFinance #DebtFreeJourney #DTI #Mortgage #AutoLoans #CreditCards #Investing #Budgeting #KeepItSimplePodcast #AssetBuilder

Tom Logue - September 28th 2025 Jesus knows, reigns, loves, and provides — offering a greater freedom than self can give. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 17:24–27, where Jesus instructs Peter to find a coin in a fish's mouth to pay the temple tax. Through this surprising story, Tom unpacks four stunning truths about Jesus: He knows what we need before we ask, He reigns over all creation, He limits His own freedom for the sake of others, and He provides exactly what is needed. This passage ultimately points to the gospel — that Christ has paid our unpayable spiritual debt and invites us into a freedom far greater than living for ourselves.

He breaks down why this isn't just about math but about reclaiming your peace of mind, your relationships, and hundreds of monthly dollars that can finally build wealth instead of enriching credit card executives.
