Mindy Diamond on Independence: A Podcast for Financial Advisors Considering Change
With Dylan Ripley & Todd Vincent – Managing Partners and Financial Planners, Cedarwood Financial Partners Overview Todd Vincent and Dylan Ripley join Mindy Diamond to share the reality of leaving Edward Jones, defending a two-year lawsuit, and still nearly doubling their business. A candid look at resilience, and what really happens when the firm pushes back.

Watch… https://youtu.be/G5-oAHz5kWQ About this episode… For many advisors considering change, the concern about legal retaliation from their firm often lingers in the background. But what if you move and that fear comes to fruition? What will it do to your business? And what if – instead of derailing you – it ultimately becomes a catalyst for growth? Every transition comes with some risk and uncertainty—even when you dot every “i” and cross every “t.” And a non-Protocol move adds an extra layer of complexity. This episode's guests, Todd Vincent and Dylan Ripley, learned all that firsthand. Todd spent nearly 30 years at Edward Jones, and Dylan built his career there over more than a decade, eventually partnering with Todd in a multi-office practice overseeing close to $1B in assets. Over time, they realized they could do more for their clients – and grow the business faster – if they stepped outside the traditional firm model. In exploration, they liked the idea of having a support partner rather than building their own RIA and ultimately opted for Commonwealth Financial Network to launch Cedarwood Financial Partners. The transition itself went smoothly—that is, until they found themselves navigating a lawsuit from Edward Jones that lasted nearly two years. In one of our most candid episodes yet, Todd and Dylan walk through that experience with Mindy Diamond, sharing: The choice to leave Edward Jones—and what specifically motivated them to consider change. The initial transition—and when they learned they had “poked the bear.” The reality of defending a lawsuit—and how they worked through it. The value of messaging—and how partnering with a marketing firm was a gamechanger. Nearly doubling their assets under management, despite the lawsuit—and what key traits drove their success. It's an episode that answers the question on every advisor's mind, “What happens if the firm sues me?” and does so with candor and grace. Listen in to learn how resilience drives what comes next: how advisors can steady themselves, rebuild momentum, and grow on the other side of a challenge.

How to Avoid the Dreaded TRO: Legal Strategies for Advisors in TransitionAs TROs and lawsuits make headlines, two top attorneys who represented Merrill breakaways OpenArc, share how advisors can minimize risk, protect client relationships, and make a clean move with confidence. Dylan RipleyCEO / Financial Planner After serving his clients at Edward Jones for almost ten years, Dylan Ripley co-founded Cedarwood Financial Partners in 2022 following a tabletop discussion on how he and his partner could better serve their clients, scratching out their vision on a napkin. From that initial napkin chat, he began diligently working to make this vision a reality through extensive research and sweat equity. Dylan holds a Bachelor of Business Management from the Carlos Alvarez School of Business at The University of Texas–San Antonio. After joining Edward Jones, he earned the Accredited Asset Management Specialist certification through the College of Financial Planning. He has a passion to serve others and does so through his service to clients and his community involvement. He is a current member of the Rotary Club of Temple, serving on the board for two years. He's also a small group leader at his church and active in local Chamber of Commerce events. Most recently he was asked to serve on the advisory board for the Salvation Army of Bell County. Dylan and his wife, Cayleigh, have three children. When he's not serving his clients or community, he can be found experiencing the world with his family, chasing kiddos around a ball field, golfing, or attending any live concert he can. Todd VincentChairman / Financial Planner Todd Vincent co-founded Cedarwood Financial Partners after serving his clients at Edward Jones for twenty-six years. Prior to Edward Jones, Todd served four years in the U.S. Army as a field artillery officer with the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas.

They reside on a 142–acre game ranch they share with others who desire rest, renewal, and recreation. Todd's favorite hobbies include camping, hunting, and riding his Harley-Davidson. Todd specializes in finding creative methods to produce retirement income and efficient wealth transfer strategies.

Was the Apostle Paul a Slave? | Dr. Mark Fairchild on Paul's Early Life as Saul the ZealotWas Paul once a slave? If so, how did his early life shape his theology, mission, and message? In this compelling episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver sits down with Dr. Mark Fairchild to discuss his groundbreaking book, Paul's Enslavement: The Early Life of Saul the Zealot. Together, they explore the provocative thesis that the Apostle Paul may have been a former slave—and how that possibility sheds powerful new light on his language of slavery, freedom, adoption, redemption, and identity in Christ.Dr. Fairchild draws from the Book of Acts, Paul's letters (especially Galatians), early church tradition from Jerome, and the historical writings of Josephus to examine:-Paul's Roman citizenship and how slaves could receive citizenship through-manumission -The “Synagogue of the Freedmen” in Acts 6-The meaning of stigmata in Galatians 6:17-Honor, shame, and status in the first-century Mediterranean world-How slavery differed from modern conceptions of 16th–19th century chattel slavery-Why does Paul use slavery and adoption language more than any other New Testament writer -How Saul's zealotry transformed after his encounter with Christ on the Damascus RoadThis conversation also explores Paul's rabbinic training under Gamaliel, his intense persecution of the early church, and how his radical conversion reshaped his understanding of identity, freedom, and gospel ministry.If you want deeper insight into:-The historical Paul: First-century slavery in the Roman world-The background of Galatians: Paul's theology of freedom and redemption-How archaeology and ancient sources illuminate Scripture…you won't want to miss this episode. Dr. Fairchild also discusses his extensive research in Turkey (ancient Asia Minor) and his work on Paul's “unknown years” in Cilicia. This episode is hosted by Dr. Paul Weaver, Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and host of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast.

Hey friends, welcome back to Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation is tender, honest, and so needed.I'm joined by Tiffany Stein, who just released a brand-new book: Mourning God: Grieving Loss, Wrestling with God, and Finding Your Way Back to Life. And let me tell you — this episode is for anyone who has ever walked through grief, felt disoriented in their faith, or wondered, “God… where are You in this?”In this episode, Tiffany shares: • Life in Austin, Texas, and how she now gets to disciple nine-year-olds as a 4th grade teacher at a Christian private school • Her background in church ministry (including serving as a women's pastor) and what it looked like to walk with people toward Christ • Her personal “freedom journey” — from fearing a “righteous and angry God,” to slowly discovering God as loving, present, and safe • How seasons of depression, questioning, and searching shaped her faith (and why asking hard questions doesn't mean you're walking away from God)Tiffany's story of lossTiffany opens up about the devastating loss of her son, David, who was born in 2018 with a congenital heart abnormality and spent 53 days in the NICU before he went to be with the Lord. She shares what it was like to grieve publicly while also serving as pastors — and how the hardest part wasn't only the loss… but the feeling that God's presence “lifted” afterward.That “double grief” became part of what birthed this book: • grieving her child • and grieving the God she thought she knewA word for the Church: please stop saying thiscatWe also talk about how well-meaning Christians sometimes use “quick words” that actually cause more harm — especially phrases like:“Everything happens for a reason.”Tiffany gives such a needed invitation for believers to learn the ministry of presence, and to normalize lament the way Scripture does (because yes… a huge portion of the Psalms are lament).Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is: • show up • sit in silence • bring a meal • remember the anniversary • send the Mother's Day card • and let people grieve without being correctedBecause grief doesn't need to be fixed — it needs to be witnessed.Friend, if you're grieving… if you're wrestling… if you're angry… if you feel distant… please hear me: you are not disqualified. God can handle your questions, your tears, and your lament.Bio:Tiffany Stein is an ordained minister and trusted shepherd with more than a decade of ministry experience. She currently serves as a fourth grade teacher at Austin Classical School and previously served as women's pastor and marriage and care director at Irving Bible Church in Dallas, Texas.

What is truth?—and can we known it? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Mark Farnham, Dr. David Saxon, and Dr. Michael S. Jones to explore the study of knowledge—how we know what we know—and how beliefs are justified within a Christian worldview.

The conversation also addresses:• The noetic effects of sin • The role of the Holy Spirit in understanding truth• The relationship between apologetics and epistemology • Whether Christians need formal philosophical training• Why logic and critical thinking matter for believersIf you've ever heard phrases like “my truth,” “your truth,” or wondered how Christians should think about evidence, science, and belief—this episode is for you. This discussion will strengthen your understanding of truth, knowledge, and how to confidently and humbly defend the Christian faith.

Artificial intelligence is becoming woven into everyday life – our work, our personal lives, even our emotional and spiritual reality. But what does this technology do to us as people made in the image of God? In this first of our series on "AI and the Soul", Dr. Carol talks with Dr. John Dyer, professor, author, and leading thinker on theology and technology, about how our tools shape our souls. You'll hear why AI is a helpful tool, but also how it quietly forms our desires, habits, and spiritual practices in ways we rarely notice. Together they explore what makes humans unique, how AI might influence discipleship and our relationship with God, and how Christians can use emerging tools wisely without losing what makes us wonderfully human. This conversation will help you wrestle with how AI may be discipling you in ways you don't realize, and provide a thoughtful, theologically grounded perspective on this hot topic.

Give to help Chris make Truce Tim LaHaye wrote different kinds of books. Books on marriage, sexuality, the end times, and those involved in social and political movements. In his young years, Tim LaHaye taught for the John Birch Society. His conspiratorial view of the world carried over into his theology, evidenced by the Left Behind series, as well as the topic of the show today, The Battle for the Mind. Published in 1980, this little book takes a negative view of humanism. He defines humanism as, essentially, everything that has gone with society in the last 2,000 years. It's a very broad, almost useless definition. Humanism is actually a movement that started in Northern Italy around the 1200s, which tries to lift up the value of the human person. That takes a lot of different shapes, from secular or atheistic humanism to Christian humanism. In fact, as we argue in the episode, LaHaye's view misses the positive ways that humanism has shaped the United States and evangelicalism. My guest today is Dr. Darrell Bock. He is the author or editor of over 45 books, including commentaries on Luke and Acts. He is the Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He's also a host of DTS' podcast The Table.

Start here. Discussion Questions: Have you read anything by Tim LaHaye? What was it? Are Christian books like this useful? Not useful? Why? What is "humanism"? (it may be helpful to look it up outside the book) Why is it important that LaHaye mischaracterized humanism? What were LaHaye's ideas about education? Learn more about your ad choices.

Can the New Testament really be trusted? Was it written too late, copied too often, or shaped by biased authors? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Benjamin Shaw, author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament, to examine the historical evidence supporting the trustworthiness of the New Testament.This conversation explores:-Manuscript evidence and textual reliability-Early dating of the New Testament writings-Eyewitness testimony-Why skeptics treat the Bible differently from other ancient texts-External historical sources like Josephus and Tacitus -Whether the earliest Christians believed Jesus was God-Why the apostles were willing to suffer and die for their testimonyDr. Shaw, president of Core Apologetics and former research assistant to Dr. Gary Habermas, presents compelling arguments showing that the New Testament stands as the best-attested document of antiquity.
Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These questions don't just come from skeptics outside the church—they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of doubt, you might still wonder how well what we're taught about Jesus matches up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine? That's what today's discussion is all about. Today we're honored to have on Dr. Mikel Del Rosario. Mikel is a professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He has coauthored 31 journal articles on apologetics and cultural engagement in Bibliotheca Sacra alongside his mentor, Darrell L. Bock. A member of the Evangelical Theological Society, Del Rosario hosts The Apologetics Guy Show, a podcast on YouTube and the Christianity Today Network, and previously hosted Dallas Theological Seminary's cultural engagement podcast, The Table.

Artificial intelligence has become a powerful lens through which our assumptions about reality are being exposed. As machines increasingly mimic human reasoning, language, and creativity, they force uncomfortable questions to the surface: What actually defines personhood? Is intelligence merely computational, or is there something irreducibly spiritual about the human mind? Can meaning, morality, or belief be generated by algorithms alone—or do those things require transcendence? These are the kinds of questions that sit at the heart of the AITheist series, where technological progress becomes a testing ground for theology, not just innovation.To help us explore these tensions, we're joined today by Michael Svigel, professor of theological studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of the AlTheist trilogy. Through a blend of narrative fiction and serious theological reflection, Dr. Svigel invites readers to examine how artificial intelligence challenges Christian claims about the image of God, belief and divine authority. His work doesn't take sides in the technology debate—but does call people to think clearly, biblically, and faithfully about what it means to follow Christ in an age of intelligent machines.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

You can admire spiritual maturity from a distance, or you can take your formation journey seriously. Many of us prefer the former. We outsource growth to personalities, call delayed obedience "wisdom," and bargain with God when surrender would cost too much. This week on Win Today, Dr. Eric Mason joins me to confront the quiet drift that hollows discipleship: the consumer posture that fuels bad teaching, the spiritual immaturity that bargains with God, and the confusion that happens when we make our assignment our purpose. If your faith has been built around sermons more than Scripture, preferences more than practices, or outcomes more than obedience, this conversation is your invitation to grow up on purpose, with the Spirit, for the long road of holiness. Guest Bio Dr. Eric Mason is the founder and lead pastor of Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia and the founder/president of Thriving, an urban ministry training leaders for city contexts. A pastor-theologian for nearly three decades, he has preached and trained nationally and internationally and authored several books. He holds a B.S. in Psychology (Bowie State), a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary—where he was mentored by Dr. Tony Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship—and a D.Min. from Gordon-Conwell. Eric and his wife, Yvette, live in Philadelphia with their four children: Immanuel, Nehemiah, Ephraim, and Amalyah.
