Women control more wealth than ever—so how do you find an advisor who listens, explains clearly, and shares your values? According to McKinsey & Company, by 2030, women are expected to control nearly two-thirds of U.S. assets—around $30 trillion. With that kind of stewardship comes both opportunity and responsibility. Today, Sharon Epps joins us to share five simple practices that women should expect from their financial advisors.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Key Practices Every Client Should Look ForWhen it comes to choosing a financial advisor, women don't need a different standard—they simply need the right standard done well. At Kingdom Advisors, we train Certified Kingdom Advisors (CKAs®) to integrate biblical wisdom into their practices while also serving clients with excellence and care.If you're interviewing an advisor, here are five practices to watch for. These principles will help you find someone who not only understands finances but also values clarity, empathy, and shared purpose.1. Clear TerminologyFinancial jargon can be overwhelming. Terms like RIA or CFP® often make sense only to industry insiders. A good advisor should be able to pause, explain concepts in everyday language, and use analogies that make complex ideas easier to understand. Look for someone who welcomes your questions and ensures you truly understand the path forward.2. A Warm and Welcoming EnvironmentWe often say to “light a candle”—not literally, but figuratively. The goal is to create a space that feels safe and welcoming, rather than intimidating. Just like hotels offer warm cookies to make guests feel at home, a thoughtful advisor will create an environment where you feel respected and comfortable.3. Transparency in All ThingsAn advisor has a fiduciary responsibility to be transparent—but the best ones go beyond compliance. They openly share how they are compensated, outline every fee on paper, and invite accountability. As a client, don't hesitate to ask where you can see these details clearly documented.4. Interest in More Than MoneyWe teach advisors to “use a magnifying glass”—to look beyond the numbers. Money is simply a tool to help you fulfill God's calling on your life. A trusted advisor should ask about your values, dreams, and purposes—not just your portfolio. That's why the CKA® designation is so important: it connects you with advisors who share your values and can integrate them into financial decisions.5. Developing God's Heart for the Whole PersonThe most important practice is what we call whole-person care. Advisors aren't just money managers—they're disciple-makers. They should walk alongside you and your family in prayer, through significant life transitions, and in building unity between spouses. Women's voices should be heard and respected just as much as men's in every financial conversation.Our prayer is that these five practices give you confidence as you search for the right advisor. You deserve clarity, empathy, and values that align with your faith. If you'd like to find a Certified Kingdom Advisor in your area, visit FindaCKA.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Back in 2018, my home insurance company agreed to replace my roof. In 2020, contractors found I also needed new decking, and an insurance employee told me they'd cover it once the work was finished. Now the company is threatening not to renew my policy unless I replace the roof at my own expense. How can I get them to honor their commitment?My dad passed away over a year ago, and my mom is trying to qualify for Social Security benefits. The issue is that my dad didn't have 40 credits, and neither does she. Is there any way their credits can be combined so she can meet the requirement?I heard about a provision in a new bill that allows accounts to be set up for children. Is it true that the government will put money into accounts for kids born in the next few years? If so, how would I participate?I'd like to encourage my two adult children to start investing in Roth IRAs. Where can they open accounts with low fees, especially since they'll only be making small contributions at first?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Sound Mind Investing (SMI)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D.Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Epps spoke with the media yesterday ahead of the Eagles first preseason game against the Cowboys tomorrow night. They talk about what Epps needs to do in order to have a successful season and if he could become the starter for the birds.

Tek & Prem discuss the upcoming Eagles season opener against Dallas next Thursday Night, and breakdown the 53-man roster. Some late changes were pulled off by Howie and the Front Office, with former Birds returning to the nest in Epps and Covey. The QB Factory also continues to churn. With the Cowboys defense losing Micah Parsons in a trade with Green Bay, it appears more likely that the Eagles soar offensively next Thursday Night, on Super Bowl banner night. Jalen Hurts continues to be slandered by losers like Cam Newton on national television. The march to repeat as Super Bowl Champions is almost underway. The Phillies bounce back from a nitemare series sweep in NY in a big way versus the Braves, pouring on a season-high 19 runs, including 4 bombs from Schwarber as he sets a new Phillies single-game franchise record with 9 RBI. It looks more and more likely that the NL MVP Award is his to lose. The biggest question heading into the final month of baseball is whether or not the Phils can win enough to secure the 2 seed, and avoid a potential Wild Card Series against the Mets.

What if the greatest gift you leave your children isn't your money, but your wisdom?As stewards, we often focus on managing God's resources well during our lifetime—but what happens after we're gone? How do we equip the next generation to carry on a legacy of faithful stewardship? Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about that.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Recognizing God's Design in Our ChildrenAt FaithFi, we frequently emphasize the importance of being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. But there's a deeper question to consider: What about the next steward?Proverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” While an inheritance can be a blessing, without preparation, it can also lead to conflict. That's why we need to think carefully not just about passing on wealth, but also about passing on wisdom.One of the earliest ways to prepare the next steward is to recognize and nurture a child's God-given giftedness. God created us to work, and part of stewardship is discovering how He's uniquely wired us.Each child's journey is unique, and our role as parents is to walk alongside them, offer opportunities, and pray that God will reveal their strengths.Giving Hands-On Money Management OpportunitiesEvery parent knows how painful it is to watch their children make poor choices—especially when it comes to money. But it's so vital that we allow our kids to experience the natural consequences of their decisions.Wisdom grows when kids practice responsibility with real resources. That's why it's a good goal to aim for our children to manage a full spending plan before leaving home, whether that's for college or to move out on their own. Starting with a simple envelope system—give, save, and spend—you can gradually add more categories as the kids grow. By the time they become young adults, they will have managed nearly all of their expenses except housing and insurance. This hands-on approach will ensure that by the time they launch into independence, they will not be starting from scratch.Starting Late? Don't Lose HeartIf you feel behind in teaching your kids about stewardship, give yourself grace. None of us does this perfectly.Start with small steps—a dinner conversation about your own money journey, or letting your child help plan a family purchase. What matters is being intentional and inviting the Lord to guide the process.Preparing the next steward is not a one-time event—it's a journey. Begin with prayer, asking God for wisdom, and do not hesitate to seek help from trusted friends, mentors, or financial professionals.And remember: more is caught than taught. Our children are learning as much from how we live as from what we say. By modeling faithful stewardship in our own lives, we give them the greatest inheritance of all: a life that reflects God's wisdom and trust in His provision.If you're looking for support in preparing your children to be wise stewards, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)—someone who shares your values and can guide you on the journey.

I also have an IRA. My wife and I are deciding whether to roll the pension into an IRA to earn more, or cash it out to pay off debt, such as our vehicles and student loans.I'm turning 62 soon, and my wife and I are both still working.

Chef Tristen Epps, who just won Season 22 of Bravo's Top Chef, grew up the son of a single mom who was a JAG, a lawyer with the military. That meant he moved about 16 times before the end of high school—from Guam to the Philippines—and was exposed to a wide range of cuisines from a young age. His travel background, along with family roots in Trinidad, led to a deep appreciation for food and cooking, and also a desire to both celebrate and elevate Afro-Caribbean cuisine. Now, on the tail of his high profile Top Chef win, he's on a path to opening a fine dining restaurant in Houston called Buboy – a tribute to his grandfather's nickname. And his goals for Buboy are ambitious, as he looks to bring Afro-Caribbean cooking in the United States to the Michelin-star level. We'll talk about all that, plus the years he spent working at the Greenbriar in West Virginia, how his step-father's unfortunate passing mid-season affected his time on Top Chef, and how he's embracing his identity as a Southerner and a Houstonian.

Join co-host Scott Cronin and me on the air tonight as we dive into an eye-opening discussion with entomology experts Dr. Rebekah Epps and Johnathan Larson from the University of Kentucky. We will also be joined by Kurt Avery, founder of Sawyer Products, an industry leader specializing in insect repellents.

In this conversation, we explore AI bias, transformative justice, and the future of technology with Dr. Avriel Epps, computational social scientist, Civic Science Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University's CATLab, and co-founder of AI for Abolition.What makes this conversation unique is how it begins with Avriel's recently published children's book, A Kids Book About AI Bias (Penguin Random House), designed for ages 5-9. As an accomplished researcher with a PhD from Harvard and expertise in how algorithmic systems impact identity development, Avriel has taken on the remarkable challenge of translating complex technical concepts about AI bias into accessible language for the youngest learners.Key themes we explore:- The Translation Challenge: How to distill graduate-level research on algorithmic bias into concepts a six-year-old can understand—and why kids' unfiltered responses to AI bias reveal truths adults often struggle to articulate- Critical Digital Literacy: Why building awareness of AI bias early can serve as a protective mechanism for young people who will be most vulnerable to these systems- AI for Abolition: Avriel's nonprofit work building community power around AI, including developing open-source tools like "Repair" for transformative and restorative justice practitioners- The Incentive Problem: Why the fundamental issue isn't the technology itself, but the economic structures driving AI development—and how communities might reclaim agency over systems built from their own data- Generational Perspectives: How different generations approach digital activism, from Gen Z's innovative but potentially ephemeral protest methods to what Gen Alpha might bring to technological resistanceThroughout our conversation, Avriel demonstrates how critical analysis of technology can coexist with practical hope. Her work embodies the belief that while AI currently reinforces existing inequalities, it doesn't have to—if we can change who controls its development and deployment.The conversation concludes with Avriel's ongoing research into how algorithmic systems shaped public discourse around major social and political events, and their vision for "small tech" solutions that serve communities rather than extracting from them.For anyone interested in AI ethics, youth development, or the intersection of technology and social justice, this conversation offers both rigorous analysis and genuine optimism about what's possible when we center equity in technological development.About Dr. Avriel Epps:Dr. Avriel Epps (she/they) is a computational social scientist and a Civic Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell University CATLab. She completed her Ph.D. at Harvard University in Education with a concentration in Human Development. She also holds an S.M. in Data Science from Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA. Previously a Ford Foundation predoctoral fellow, Avriel is currently a Fellow at The National Center on Race and Digital Justice, a Roddenberry Fellow, and a Public Voices Fellow on Technology in the Public Interest with the Op-Ed Project in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation.Avriel is also the co-founder of AI4Abolition, a community organization dedicated to increasing AI literacy in marginalized communities and building community power with and around data-driven technologies. Avriel has been invited to speak at various venues including tech giants like Google and TikTok, and for The U.S. Courts, focusing on algorithmic bias and fairness. In the Fall of 2025, she will begin her tenure as Assistant Professor of Fair and Responsible Data Science at Rutgers University.Links:- Dr. Epps' official website: https://www.avrielepps.com- AI for Abolition: https://www.ai4.org- A Kids Book About AI Bias details: https://www.avrielepps.com/book

In C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan tells Lucy, “Things never happen the same way twice.” It's a good reminder that life brings changes. They're unavoidable, but how we choose to meet them is up to us. Sharon Epps joins us today with sage advice about preparing for life's transitions.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Lessons from NarniaC.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia holds a surprising amount of wisdom for real life. In one poignant scene, Aslan comforts Lucy Pevensie about the changes she and her siblings are facing. “Things never happen the same way twice,” Aslan tells her. Change is constant, and each new season requires fresh wisdom. Even when we're no longer in school, the rhythms of August to May still shape our lives and planning.When Life Goes Into Transition, Money Goes Into MotionFinancial author Mitch Anthony says it best: “Money goes into motion when life goes into transition.” Whether you're sending a child off to college, caring for aging parents, or planning a move, each change brings financial decisions with it. Here are five strategies to help us steward these moments well:1. Pray for WisdomEvery new season needs fresh wisdom. You can learn the hard way through pain or the better way through prayer. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”2. Seek Godly CounselLearn from those who've been there. If you're sending your first child to college, ask parents of graduates what they'd do differently. Their experience can save you time, money, and stress.3. Plan the Financial Details of the TransitionWith college, for example, have you clarified who will cover living expenses? Will your child work part-time? Will you offer a monthly stipend? Define expectations now to avoid confusion later.4. Prepare for the UnexpectedThings rarely go according to plan. What if your child runs out of money mid-semester? Do you have an emergency fund? Thinking through these “what ifs” now builds resilience.5. Communicate Ahead of TimeGood communication brings clarity and accountability. Whether you're dealing with a child, a spouse, or a realtor, the earlier you clarify financial expectations, the smoother the transition will be.These five practices are simple but powerful. They'll help you stay grounded through every kind of life change. And remember, God doesn't just care about what we go through—He cares about how we go through it. Let's walk into our next season with prayerful wisdom, godly counsel, and faithful stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm new to investing and want to understand the basics of the stock market, as well as how to avoid scams.I'm considering buying precious metals to pass on to my children and grandchildren. What's the best way for them to sell or redeem them in the future?If I give to animal charities, does that count as tithing?

Today, we sit down with Naomi Epps Best, a graduate student at Santa Clara University studying family and marriage counseling, who recently exposed the shocking curriculum in her required human sexuality course. Naomi shares her disturbing experience of being required to engage with erotica, pornographic content, and a sexual autobiography assignment. She reveals how her Christian faith led her to challenge this ideological capture in therapy education, culminating in a Wall Street Journal op-ed where she blew the whistle on her program. Then, she got fired. We discuss the university's response, the crisis in the mental health profession, and why critical thinkers are being pushed out. Naomi also shares her journey and her efforts to hold the psychological field accountable while pursuing her calling to help others.

Happy Top Chef finale day to those who celebrate!!! We have all three finalists on the pod today for a quick pregame for tonight's episode. Tune in to hear Bailey, Tristen and Shuai talk about their headspace going into the last cook of the season.

Dr. Dan interviews Dr. Avriel Epps, a dynamic scholar, author, and strategist whose work sits at the crossroads of transformative justice and artificial intelligence. With a PhD in Human Development and a masters in Data Science from Harvard University, Dr. Epps brings a fresh and critical perspective to conversations about technology, equity, and social justice. On today's episode, Dr. Dan and Dr. Epps explore her work around how bias in predictive technologies affects racial, gender, and sociopolitical identity development. She aims to understand the complex ways that algorithm design and computer-mediated social expectations—often communicated through artificial intelligence systems—impact the beliefs, behaviors, and health of developing humans. On today's episode, listeners will hear explanations and examples about how AI can sometimes reinforce unfairness. Dr. Dan and Dr. Epps urge us to be part of the solution by demanding technology that works for everyone, not just a few. Dr. Avriel Epps is a former child actor and an R&B artist turned algorithmic justice expert. Her work shows us that AI is not neutral, reminds us algorithmic bias impacts are real, and urges us to question technology.  In the Fall of 2025, she will begin her tenure as Assistant Professor of Fair and Responsible Data Science at Rutgers University.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." — Proverbs 15:22When it comes to managing money wisely, many of us could use some help, but how do you know you've found the right financial advisor? Today, we'll explore a few key questions you should ask when hiring someone to help you with your financial decisions. Sharon Epps is here to help us navigate that process.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.How to Find a Financial Advisor Who Aligns With Your FaithFinding a financial advisor can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. With the right questions and a clear framework, you can confidently choose someone who aligns with your values, demonstrates technical competence, and offers a transparent process. Here are three things to consider when hiring a financial advisor who shares your faith and values.  1. Values Alignment: Do They Share Your Worldview?The most important starting point is finding an advisor whose faith informs their advice. There's a big difference between an advisor who is a Christian and one who actively discusses financial decision-making through a biblical lens.Key Questions to Ask:What role does faith play in your financial advice?How do you define financial success?You're listening for more than a respectful nod toward your faith. You want to know if they see money as a tool for stewardship, generosity, and Kingdom impact, not just a means of personal gain.2. Competency: Are They Qualified to Serve You?Once values are aligned, it is essential to ensure the advisor has the technical skills and experience necessary to guide your financial decisions.Look for:Industry certifications (like CFP®, CPA, CKA®, etc.)Experience working with clients in your stage of lifeKey Question to Ask:Can you tell me about clients you've served who are in a similar situation to mine?Good advisors won't name names, but they should be able to share stories of impact that demonstrate how they've helped people like you.3. Process & Compensation: Are They Transparent and Clear?A trustworthy advisor will be open about how they make money and how they work with clients.Key Questions to Ask:Can you explain how you're compensated—fees, commissions, or both—for someone like me?What is your process for creating a financial plan?They should be able to explain their step-by-step approach, timeline, and what you'll need to provide—all in clear, understandable terms. You want someone with “the heart of a teacher.”Ready to Find an Advisor?If you're beginning your search—or even considering reevaluating your current advisor—you can start at FaithFi.com. Click on “Find a Professional” to locate a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®) near you. These advisors have been vetted for:Biblical worldviewIntegrityTechnical excellenceYou'll also find a free downloadable PDF with suggested interview questions to help guide your search. You can rehire your advisor every year, and it's wise stewardship to evaluate that relationship regularly.When advisors undergo CKA® training, they begin to carry the weight of stewardship—not only for their own resources but also for how they guide clients to make decisions with eternal impact. That's the kind of advisor worth seeking out.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I want to set up a will. We have a son we support and want to make sure he gets everything. I talked to a lawyer who said trusts aren't necessary anymore and are expensive. I have about $300,000 in home equity, and I'm wondering about taxes and how he might handle the property.My dad recently passed away. My mom has been drawing on his Social Security because she didn't have enough credits from working. What percentage of my Dad's Social Security benefits will she receive as a survivor? What benefits will she get since he was a veteran with VA disability?Am I supposed to pay tithes on the income of my Social Security now that I'm retired?Now that my wife is retired and I'm almost retired, is maintaining a good credit score still important?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Social Security Administration (SSA.gov) | U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA.gov)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
