A friend called and said four words that changed the trajectory of a young family's finances: Becoming Your Own Banker. At that moment, Jesse Durham was a former cop turned Spanish teacher in North Carolina. New baby. Second on the way. About $50,000 of debt. A man raised to do what most of us were taught to do: get the degree, get the job, ride the hamster wheel, and hope the math works out. https://www.youtube.com/live/kgT_7O5YHec He walked into a live presentation with an open mind and a hungry heart. He walked out with a new paradigm. Not a gimmick. Not a hack. A structure. That day marked what Jesse now calls his “renaissance year”. And it's why we invited him onto The Money Advantage podcast. Because the Infinite Banking Concept isn't just a strategy on paper. It's a lifestyle of stewardship in practice. And your family deserves that.

Keep Learning.Book A Strategy Call Jesse Durham's Journey: From Debt to Becoming Your Own Banker If you're new here, I'm Rachel Marshall, co-hosting with my friend and colleague, Bruce Wehner. Our mission is simple and weighty all at once: help high-capacity families build a legacy of more than money. Today's conversation with Jesse Durham is a clear window into how ordinary families step off the earn-and-spend treadmill and design a private banking system that funds real life, fuels investments, and forms character across generations. Here's what you'll gain as you read: How Jesse went from debt and drift to intention and design. Why Infinite Banking is a lifestyle, not a line item. The simple four-part filter Jesse uses to make clear decisions. How to capitalize first, then spend with control. Practical ways policies pay for property taxes, appliances, vehicles, and opportunities. Why modeling matters for your kids, and why you must start with yourself. How weekly family meetings turn values into rhythms. The difference between credentials and character in long-term wealth stewardship. What Nelson Nash's principles look like in real life. A first step you can take today to begin becoming your own banker. If you're ready to move from accidental inheritance to intentional design, keep reading. From Hamster Wheel to Stewardship: The Jesse Durham Pivot Jesse's story isn't sterile or airbrushed. It's family, career change, and financial pressure in real time. He did what most of us were modeled to do. School. Degree. Career. Debt. He and his wife started from scratch, not from a family banking system or a multi-generational enterprise. In 2015, he opened his mind to personal growth, marriage, fatherhood, and money. Not in theory. In action. First exposure to Infinite Banking. Then Nelson Nash's book. Then the decision to implement, imperfectly and persistently. Policies were started. Debts were repaid. And something else happened under the surface. Identity shifted from consumer to steward. That's the engine. What We Learned From Jesse Durham: Infinite Banking Is a Lifestyle, Not a Line Item Most people have two moves with money: earn and spend. That's not a system. That's survival. Jesse Durham saw Infinite Banking as a third, critical move wedged between those two: capitalize. You earn.You capitalize.Then you spend.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 4th of August 2025. On today's show: Headlines: Palestine rallies in Naarm/Melbourne and Gadigal/Sydney show up in the thousands. Harmful algal bloom off the SA coast threatens ocean and marine ecosystems.A recent ruling from the Federal Court means that the Federal Government will need to recalculate more $4BN worth of debts owed to the Dept. of Social Services. The ruling from the case Chaplin V Secretary, Dept Social Services declared that the previous method to calculate said debts known as income apportionment used since the early 1990s, was unlawful. To help us understand the ruling and its implications, the Monday Breakfast show was joined by Tom Studans, a welfare rights advocate whose independent coverage has been recognised by the Robodebt Royal Commission. Following a Big Canopy Campout with the Bob Brown Foundation in Tasmania's Central Highlands, a forest protest has happened with community members rallying to challenge native forest destruction in logging areas. In efforts to stop logging, staunch activist Moggy has locked on to a gate and machinery and halted logging for three days. Ed spoke with them about the effort. We hear an excerpt from the Doin' Time show, which airs on Mondays from 4 - 5pm. Listen back to more episodes here. Host Marisa speaks with Ilo Diaz about the shooting of Abdifatah Ahmed in Footscray. The interview begins with information about Ilo and the centre against racial profiling. It's important in that it provides some excellent context in the racist violence that led to Abdifatah Ahmed's death. Ilo Diaz from the centre against racial profiling has worked directly with communities experiencing human rights abuses in 'melbourne', South America and Palestine. His background is in human righgtsn observing in areas of conflict. Ilo also volunteers withy melbourne activist legal support providing his expertise to legal observer teams that observe police actions in protest. Stay updated with the Centre Against Racial Profiling on instagram. We then hear Tiny Sparks and Turning Points, a bulletin from our good friends at the Commons Social Change Library. Today, they'll bring us some radical events over the years that changed this continent. This feature is looking at the month of August over our collective history, and will come to listeners on the first Monday of every month, at 8AM.It is a good example of why we need to remember our history in order to build a better future.For now, a big thank you to our friends at The Commons Social Change Library. You can find their work at www.commonslibrary.org & read more radical history events on this page compiled by TCSCL here. The show ends with an interview with a community activist/comrade regarding locking on at demolition of public towers which has taken place today at Flemington and at other public housing towers across Naarm.

The Lord's Prayer is very ancient-future. Why? It's time-bending. It's Body-uniting. It gathers up what has come before us, it focuses our minds on the current state of our situation in Christ, and it casts our thoughts into the future that someday we, the Body of Christ, will sit down at the ultimate eschatological banquet that will never end. Are there some parts of the prayer, though, that confuse or trouble you? Say, the part about God not "leading us into temptation"? Join Pastor Chris for a close look at Luke's account of the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples. The artwork associated with this pocast/sermon (viewable on the Epiclesis website but not in Apple Podcasts) is titled "The Lord's Prayer" and is by Darren Gygi (detail).

JPMorgan Asset Management is seeking hedges against credit market losses as risks rise and spreads tighten. “There’s value in shorts and credit protection,” Oksana Aronov, the firm’s head of market strategy for alternative fixed income, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Jody Lurie in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “It is very undervalued today because of the complacency in the market,” says Aronov, referring to the high-grade credit default swap index. Aronov and Lurie also discuss the increasing amount of bond and loan interest being repaid with additional debt, dwindling recovery rates, private debt convergence and high-grade opportunities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quint and Allie talk about what happens to debts after someone passes away.
How Much Life Insurance Do I Need? Why That's the Wrong Question If you've ever asked, “How much life insurance do I need?”—you're not alone. It's a common starting point. But in this article, Bruce and I (Rachel) want to challenge that question and offer something better. Because "need" is often based on a survival mentality—what's the bare minimum? But the real question isn't about scraping by. It's about what you want your life insurance to do—for you, for your spouse, for your children, and for future generations. https://www.youtube.com/live/xhGublGpz7w In this article, you'll learn: Why a needs-based approach might be leaving your family unprotected How to calculate a more empowering life insurance amount What insurance companies actually look for (and why you can't be "overinsured") The role of Infinite Banking in maximizing death benefit and legacy How to think long-term, strategically, and legacy-minded when it comes to life insurance How Much Life Insurance Do I Need? Why That's the Wrong QuestionWhy My Husband's First Thought Was Our Life InsuranceNeeds-Based Life Insurance Leaves You ShortThe Real Question: How Much Life Insurance Do I Want?Income Replacement + Future Value = What You're Really ProtectingDeath Benefit Grows with Infinite BankingInsurability: Use It or Lose ItCost vs. Value: What Wealthy People UnderstandBuild a Life Insurance Strategy That EmpowersLearn More in the PodcastBook A Strategy Call Why My Husband's First Thought Was Our Life Insurance Six years ago, I was in the ICU. My husband, Lucas, held our newborn baby girl as the doctors delivered updates that swung between hope and despair. One moment, it was "we stopped the bleeding," the next, "this is still serious." As he prayed through the fear and the unknown, one practical thought anchored him: We have life insurance. Not just any policy—we had as much life insurance as we could get. And in that moment, he knew he wouldn't have to make rushed decisions or shoulder financial pressure on top of emotional trauma. That policy was our safety net, our peace of mind. That's why this conversation matters. It's not just about numbers on paper. It's about preparing for the moments you hope never come—and giving your family the ability to respond from a place of strength. Needs-Based Life Insurance Leaves You Short Most people approach life insurance with a checklist: Mortgage? Check. College for kids? Check. Debts? Check. Burial expenses? Check. And that's how traditional advisors calculate the "amount you need." They total up obligations and say, “That's your number.” But this method reduces life insurance to a bill-pay strategy. It doesn't account for who you are, the value of your work, or the future your family deserves to continue building. In the Infinite Banking world, we don't view life insurance as just a financial parachute. We see it as a tool for opportunity, a storehouse of value, and a means to start your family ahead, not just keep them from falling behind. The Real Question: How Much Life Insurance Do I Want? "Need" is survival. "Want" is vision. If your life insurance policy could fund your family's future, preserve your estate, and launch the next generation into opportunity—how much would you want? Bruce and I often see families with grossly underfunded policies simply because they didn't know what was possible. Insurance companies assess what's called your human life value—a calculation of your income, age, and potential future earnings. Based on that, they allow you to apply for a corresponding death benefit. If you qualify for $4 million in coverage, it's because they believe your life's economic value warrants it. You can't be overinsured. The carriers won't let you. So the real question becomes: If they'll insure me for this amount… why wouldn't I take it? Income Replacement + Future Value = What You're Really Protecting
In Jesus' parable of the two debtors, a Pharisee's skepticism and a sinful woman's devotion reveal the transformative power of grace. This narrative challenges us to confront the immeasurable debt of our own sins, recognize the boundless forgiveness offered by Christ, and reflect on how this gift inspires a life of heartfelt love and service to others. This sermon was preached by Daniel Buth, a member at Faith who is studying to be a pastor.Seminarian Daniel Buth's sermon preached at Faith on July 6, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz
Purposeful prayer includes repentance. Forgive us our sins, help us to forgive others, because while we are at odds with creation we can't hope for petitions to be heard or granted.If we want God to hear and provide, we can't make requests with sin-filled hearts.Asking God to help you forgive others is a recognition of our spiritual weakness. Refusing forgiveness is a spiritual weakness.Our sin accrued a debt. Christ paid that debt. And so God is faithful to forgive.Matthew 6:12 is about your relationship with God.You have a debt. Christ paid the debt. God erased and continues to erase the debt while the Spirit tries to keep you out of debt.Forgiveness is free. Fellowship comes at a cross.Proof of your relationship with God is a merciful disposition.Matthew 6, Mark 11:24-25, James 1:13-14, 1 John 1:9, Ephesians 4:32, Romans 5:8, Romans 12:19-20

Cases from the mishnah - when a customer asks the shopkeeper for X amount of produce. And then they dispute whether the customer every actually paid for the produce. Plus, a similar case with a money-changer and smaller coins for a dinar -- but did the customer hand over the dinar? Both cases are necessary. Also, orphans inheriting debt/payback from... orphans, instead of the original lender/borrower -- that is, pay close attention to who dies in which order.

United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8 provides:The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;Review the origins and debate over the authority to borrow money and hold debt as set forth in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.Understand how the Articles of Confederation provided that the debts incurred by the states and Congress would be honored, and paying down the debt was a critical reason for adopting the Constitution. However, the Founding Fathers universally believed that the Congress under the Articles was incapable of paying the debt, and this weakness was a major reason for the calling of the Constitutional Convention.Learn how although the Constitutional Convention originally agreed that payment of the debts was mandatory and Congress would assume the debts of the States, those provisions were omitted in the Constitution. Instead, Article I, Section 8 vests the Congress with the power to borrow funds on the credit of the United States and to pay its debts. Discover how the Constitutional Convention originally agreed to create a constitutionally created Treasurer of the United States, and then agreed to eliminate the position.Review how Anti-Federalists attacked the debt power as destructive to American liberties.Explore how the debt provisions were essential to secure the good credit of the country, to repay creditors who funded the American Revolution and the Congress afterwards, and to ensure the security of the country in the future. Its abuse is to be kept in check by the reality that we elect the Congress that incurs the debt — they are accountable to We, The People.Highlights include the Constitutional Convention, Articles of Confederation, the New Jersey Plan, the Paterson Plan, the Paterson Resolutions, the Randolph Resolutions, the Randolph Resolves, the Virginia Plan, James Madison, Shays' Rebellion, Roger Sherman, Judge John Yates, Governor Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Gunning Bedford, Jr., Elbridge Gerry, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Ellsworth, Governor Wiliam Livingston, Roger Sherman, Dr. William Samuel Johnson, Gouverneur Morris, United States Treasurer, Rhode Island Constitutional Convention, Edward Rutledge, Virginia Constitutional Convention, Anti-Federalists, Agrippa, Brutus, John DeWitt, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, House of Representatives, United States Senate, and more.To learn more about the Constitution & Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.
