Podcast appearances and mentions of dan busby

Dan Busby, Chief Operating Officer, OCC leads a fireside chat with The Honorable Hester M. Peirce, Commissioner, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

May brings a flurry of activities—graduations, sports playoffs, and school events—that, while meaningful, can also lead to overwhelming stress. In our busy world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle, often driven by societal pressures to do more, buy more, and be everywhere at once.Colossians 2:8 reminds us not to be swayed by the "hollow and deceptive philosophy" that glorifies materialism over spiritual values. We are often misled into thinking that accumulating possessions or filling our calendars is the path to fulfillment. However, these beliefs only bring chaos and stress, not peace.To combat this, the Bible offers clear guidance. Jesus, in John 14:6, states He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life," emphasizing that true contentment comes from following Him, not from material wealth. Scriptures like Proverbs 23:5 and Psalm 31 encourage us to focus on spiritual richness rather than worldly allure.Proverbs 3:5–6 advises us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding, promising that this faith will direct our paths. Jesus taught us not to worry about daily needs but to prioritize spiritual pursuits, as stated in Matthew 6. He assures us that all else will follow by seeking God's kingdom first.So, in this busy month, take a moment to step back from the frenzy. Talk to the Lord, engage with His word, and recalibrate your priorities. By focusing on what's truly important, you can navigate May with peace and purpose.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I wanted to give a praise report. For many years I had not paid my income taxes due to an addiction, but after getting clean I was learning biblical principles of giving and tithing. I was convicted by Scripture to pay my taxes and get right with the IRS, so I called the program for advice. They connected me with a certified Christian accountant who helped me pay off my current taxes, and now we are working on a payment plan to take care of the back taxes over time. I am so thankful to God for restoring me and helping me align my finances with His Word through the ministry of Faith and Finance.I have been paying on a life insurance policy for over 40 years. Recently, the premiums have been increasing a lot each month, and I'm not sure why. On top of that, the insurance company is saying I owe them another $385 and I've been paying on time all these years. I would like someone on the program to help explain whether I owe that money or am current on my payments. I'm confused about my policy and could use help figuring out what's going on from a financial professional I can trust.I'm seeking advice on how much reserve churches and nonprofits should keep on hand. As someone who manages a church's finances, I want to ensure we have enough to cover unexpected expenses, but I don't want to hold onto too much.Resources Mentioned:Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment by Ron BlueChurch Cash Reserves - How Much Is Enough?

“Church boards exist in all shapes and sizes, and they vary across theologies and tradition. But what if you compared those boards that view themselves as ‘effective’ against those who do not? What would you learn?” That’s the question asked in Unleashing Your Church Board’s Potential, a new study by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). It’s also the question I’m asking Dan Busby and Warren Bird in Episode 209 of the Influence Podcast. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Dan Busby and Warren Bird serve with ECFA, whose mission is “Enhancing trust in Christ-centered nonprofits.” Busby is president of ECFA,  and Bird is vice president of Research and Equipping. Both are published authors. Most recently, Busby coauthored More Lessons from the Nonprofit Boardroom with John Pearson, and Bird coauthored Liquid Churchwith Tim Lucas. ----- This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of MEGA Sports Camp, a unique VBS that makes it easy to reach new families.

Board's that have focused parameters in how they operate can stay out of the "operational weeds", as Dan Busby says.  Having the policies in place can make this a reality for your board.  Also, how often are we listening to the tap, tap, tap of the Holy Spirit in the Board room.  Here at ECFA, we've been encouraging boards to make this a priority at every meeting!     Dan and John have released another book for Nonprofit Boards, aptly named, "More Lessons from the Nonprofit Boardroom."  Click the link to get your copy! https://www.ecfa.org/MoreLessons/Default.aspx

Dan Busby is the President of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, also known as ECFA. The primary goal of ECFA is to enhance trust in churches and ministries in the areas of governance, financial management, and stewardship. Organizations that partner with ECFA receive a seal that signifies compliance with high standards and a desire to be financially accountable.

What about the Pastor's soul care?  Caring for the soul of the congregation is a given, but church leadership needs to guard one another's hearts as well.  It's not obvious at times, determining the condition of your pastor's soul, but Dan and John give practical advice in what to look for and, most importantly, how to help! Dan Busby and John Pearson have served 100's of hours on nonprofit and ministry boards over the years.  In their book, Lessons from the Church Boardroom, they explore 40 lessons for the church governing body.   See more from their book here: http://ecfa.church/LessonsChurchBoardroom/Default.aspx

The goal is to help boards improve their governance and go on to increase the effectiveness of their ministries. From the unique perspective of Christ-centered nonprofit boardroom experiences, Dan Busby and John Pearson share the lessons they have learned.

On today’s Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, William Vanderbloemen talks with Dan Busby, president of ECFA, an organization that accredits Christ-centered ministries in the areas of governance, financial management and stewardship/fundraising. William talks with Dan about the challenges church leaders face to maintain financial integrity – and how doing the right things for the right reasons financially starts at the top of any organization.

You’ve heard the adage of servant leadership, and perhaps someone comes to mind when you think of the concept. Hear from our President, Dan Busby, about his lifetime of service and how God is using those experiences to accomplish His purpose at ECFA.
