Bob talks to Chuck Bentley, author and CEO of Crown Financial Ministries, about the trends that threaten our economic feature.  

Carolyn Calupca on the program was a long time senior producer at Crown Financial Ministries where she worked closely with Larry Burkett for many years. She's now a frequent contributor here at Faith and Finance and the author of our new 4-week study guide, Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich Fool.  WHAT IS THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL?Jesus delivers this parable in 33 AD, during a time of significant political and spiritual tension in Judea under Roman rule. As Jesus moves toward Jerusalem for the last time, he attracts a large following, drawn by his authoritative teaching and miraculous deeds. Amidst his teachings on judgment and preparation, an individual interrupts to seek Jesus' mediation in a familial inheritance dispute.The setting is marked by societal unrest and anticipation for spiritual guidance.Jesus' teachings captivate thousands, highlighting his unique authority and the miracles he performs.The request for arbitration on an inheritance matter presents a moment of personal concern amidst broader spiritual teachings. WHY IS THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL RELEVANT TODAY?Jesus' teachings are timeless, addressing the core issues of the human heart, which remains unchanged. The parable of the rich fool is particularly poignant in today's materialistic society, where the accumulation of possessions often overshadows spiritual richness.The human heart's condition and its inclinations have remained constant throughout history.Modern society mirrors the parable's theme with its focus on accumulating material wealth.Jesus' message challenges individuals to examine the true source of satisfaction and richness in life. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE 'RICH TOWARD GOD'?Being rich toward God entails prioritizing a relationship with God over material wealth and possessions. Unlike the rich fool, who focused solely on his earthly treasures, being rich toward God means acknowledging His sovereignty and utilizing His blessings to serve others rather than oneself.Treasuring God above all material possessions and successes.Recognizing and giving credit to God for all blessings, contrasting the rich fool's self-centeredness.Utilizing God's resources to serve others, highlighting a shift from self-service to serving God and community. HOW CAN THE STUDY "RICH TOWARD GOD" HELP GOD'S PEOPLE?The study "Rich Toward God" encourages introspection on personal values and priorities, guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of what truly satisfies the soul. It asks probing questions about one's deepest needs, the pursuit of abundance, and the journey to becoming rich toward God.Encourages self-examination of one's deepest needs and sources of true satisfaction.Guides individuals on a reflective journey to discover how to become genuinely rich toward God.Offers practical questions and insights to facilitate personal spiritual growth and reevaluation of life's priorities. ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:I'm considering a reverse mortgage for my home valued at $200,000 and want to know if I qualify and the benefits.I want to place an alert on inherited property to be notified if someone tries to sell it or use it as collateral.I have my savings sitting in cash within a Fidelity account after losing money during the pandemic. I'm 71 and need to know about required minimum distributions for this year.As newlyweds living debt-free in a tiny house, my husband and I are looking for advice on saving for a larger home to start our family, considering our modest beginnings and desire for financial literacy. RESOURCES MENTIONED:FidelityBankrate for emergency savings tips.FaithFi App for tracking monthly expenses and budgeting. Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Neil Haley and Dr Sheryl will interview Chuck Bentley CEO of Crown Financial. The God who created economic actors and the beliefs that drive their activities is most often blatantly ignored in the field of economics. There is, in fact, vast economic evidence that points the seeker, the skeptic, the Jew, the Gentile, the poor, and the rich alike to the reality of God Almighty―the One who boldly and unilaterally claims not only to have created all things but also to sustain all things. In this book, Chuck Bentley, CEO of Crown Financial Ministries and author of Seven Gray Swans: Trends That Threaten Our Financial Future, examines the evidence. The use of economic thought and data as an apologetic may at first strike you as dry as a two-day-old toast. Still, as you press into the evidence, it will become more and more exciting as you begin to see the world and even your own economic activity through an entirely new perspective. Money―and our personal and collective use of it―can be examined to reveal our faith, or lack thereof, and God's ever-present reality in our affairs. Our beliefs about God are a primary driver of culture, and that culture is a primary factor in the economy.

Listen to find out how you could buy 2 cars and get 1 FREE.  Host: Dave Adams | Senior Wealth AdvisorDave's main goal is to be a trusted behavioral investment counselor for his clients so that they will feel comfortable delegating the day-to-day management of their investable assets to him. He desires to help them embrace a goal-focused and plan-driven investment strategy exclusively designed for them. As an Investment Adviser Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network®, he wants to:Help determine an appropriate strategy for investing that helps each client achieve the things in life that he or she desires so that each can experience more true wealthEncourage clients to delegate the day-to-day management of their investments to him, so they can follow their passions and focus on what's important to themTrack the progress they are making toward their financial goals and update them regularlyDave and his wife were trained several years ago through Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts (now Crown Financial Ministries) to be family budget and debt counselors. For many years, they did this as an avocation, never taking a dime for their services. Dave developed a heart for helping people get their "financial house" in order and decided to become a full-time investment advisor in 1994. He still has the same motivation today that drew him into financial consulting in the first place: "to help clients experience peace and purpose with their finances." He has expanded his planning process to include True Wealth planning. True Wealth planning builds upon the financial planning model, but it adds one additional critical step—helping you pair your assets with your life's purpose. This may sound like a high and mighty ideal, but this is the additional critical step that is so often missing in financial planning.Summit Wealth Group | Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube | Twitter (719) 633-4033 | 13710 Struthers Road, Suite 115, Colorado Springs, CO 80921  Securities and Advisory Services offered through Commonwealth Financial Network®, Member FINRA/SIPC, a Registered Investment Adviser.

As an Investment Adviser Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network®, he wants to:Help determine an appropriate strategy for investing that helps each client achieve the things in life that he or she desires so that each can experience more true wealthEncourage clients to delegate the day-to-day management of their investments to him, so they can follow their passions and focus on what's important to themTrack the progress they are making toward their financial goals and update them regularlyDave and his wife were trained several years ago through Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts (now Crown Financial Ministries) to be family budget and debt counselors. For many years, they did this as an avocation, never taking a dime for their services. Dave developed a heart for helping people get their "financial house" in order and decided to become a full-time investment advisor in 1994. He still has the same motivation today that drew him into financial consulting in the first place: "to help clients experience peace and purpose with their finances." He has expanded his planning process to include True Wealth planning. True Wealth planning builds upon the financial planning model, but it adds one additional critical step—helping you pair your assets with your life's purpose. This may sound like a high and mighty ideal, but this is the additional critical step that is so often missing in financial planning. Stephanie Brinkman | Marketing Administrator Stephanie Brinkman joined Summit Wealth Group as the Marketing Administrator in February of 2021.
