Nadia Mian is the Senior Program Director at the Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement at Rutgers University. She visits the Inclusion Catalyst to discuss a very innovative faith-based housing initiative. Key Takeaways Dr. Mian is leading research on faith-based affordable housing, including a database of congregational housing projects across the U.S. California's SB4 legislation allows houses of worship to bypass local zoning laws for affordable housing development, setting a potential model for other states. Faith-based organizations are repurposing underutilized assets like parking lots for affordable housing and community services. Internal congregational discussions and community engagement are crucial first steps before pursuing development projects. This episode is produced in partnership with the Georgia Interfaith Public Policy Center. Inclusion Catalyst invites you to become our next guest host.

In this explosive episode of Taking It Back, hosts Zak “RedPill78” Paine, Adel Nero, and Frankie Val dive deep into the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, unpacking how Donald Trump's strategic maneuvering may be driving a historic peace deal. The trio tackles media hysteria, debunks neocon war narratives, and critiques the blind loyalty many U.S. politicians show to Israel, especially when justified with biblical arguments. The discussion highlights the growing discomfort around AIPAC's influence on American foreign policy and the danger of conflating support for a foreign nation with religious devotion. With clips of Tucker Carlson confronting Ted Cruz, the team explores the intersection of theology and geopolitics, censorship around criticism of Israel, and the need for America-first realism in global affairs. This raw, no-holds-barred conversation challenges sacred cows and exposes the deeper power dynamics behind Middle East conflict. Whether you're fully red-pilled or just starting to question the narrative, this one will make you think twice.

This week on Respect Life Radio we are joined by Emmaus Catholic Hospice, a Denver-based organization founded in 2023. Emmaus Catholic Hospice is guided by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These directives emphasize that “patients should be kept as free of pain as possible so that they may die comfortably and with dignity, and in the place where they wish to die.” They also affirm that “suicide and euthanasia are never morally acceptable options.” In alignment with these values, Emmaus Catholic Hospice and its staff do not participate in physician-assisted suicide, including practices referred to as “medical aid in dying” (MAID). Today, their team shares their mission of providing compassionate, faith-based care that honors the dignity of each individual through the sacred journey of end-of-life care.

Undergraduate students have a thirst for interfaith conversations. So this past spring professors and students from Brigham Young University traveled to Southern California to engage in meaningful conversations and build relationships with professors and students from Biola University. On today's episode, Tim speaks with Andy Reid, associate professor of religious understanding and church history at BYU, and Greg Johnson, a pastor and the founder of Standing Together ministries, a bridge-building ministry focused on LDS/Evangelical dialogues. They reflect on this experience at Biola and consider features of spending time together that provided opportunities for learning and ways to seek God in the faith of others, even while drawing attention to clear differences.Show notes and a full transcript are available.
There's a story Buffy Ruthardt shared that still gives me chills. She and her husband Darren were on a drive, just processing life and legacy—wondering aloud what it might look like for their children to live in their inheritance while they were still alive. Not just financially, but spiritually, relationally, and generationally. https://www.youtube.com/live/dMMgfxEohsI It was a bold idea. But they didn't know how to do it. No roadmap. No clarity. No strategy to get there. And then… they heard a Facebook ad for Seven Generations Legacy®. That was the nudge. They followed that moment of divine appointment to begin faith-based legacy planning, and today, their family is operating with a whole new level of clarity, unity, and purpose. “We were doing our best… but we had no tracks to run on.”Faith-Based Legacy Planning in ActionFrom Disconnected Assets to a Unified Legacy VisionThe Meaning: Writing Down the Culture That Was Already ThereThe Mechanism: Getting the Legal and Structural House in OrderThe Money: From Siloed Accounts to Stewardship StrategyThe Fruit of Faith-Based Legacy Planning: Family Meetings, Health Goals, and a Future PodcastWhat It Really Means to Align Wealth with ValuesWant to Build Your Own Legacy?Book A Strategy Call “We were doing our best… but we had no tracks to run on.” I'll never forget this moment. Buffy and Darren sat across from me on Zoom, eyes bright with conviction, reflecting on their journey. They'd built a beautiful life—decades of hard work, provision, blessing. But as they looked at their children, now adults, they knew something deeper was stirring. “We had direction,” Buffy said, “but no map.” That's when they found the Seven Generations Legacy® Coaching Program. And everything changed. They weren't just searching for a way to preserve wealth. They were on a mission to steward something sacred: their faith, their values, and the legacy they knew God had placed in their hands for generations to come. Faith-Based Legacy Planning in Action When we talk about faith-based legacy planning, we're not just talking about trust documents or estate strategies. We're talking about shaping the kind of family culture that lasts beyond your lifetime. That's what Darren and Buffy came looking for—and that's what they built. They had wealth. They had faith. They had a vision. What they needed was a mechanism. At The Money Advantage™, we don't talk about inheritance the way the world does. This isn't about how much you leave—it's about what you leave in the people you love. If you've ever thought… “I've built something valuable—but how do I pass it on with meaning?” “Our kids aren't quite ready… but I want to guide them.” “We have the assets, but not the structure. Where do we start?” …then you're not alone. And this story is for you. In this episode of The Money Advantage™ Podcast, we unpack their full journey—from feeling stuck with disjointed entities and unspoken hopes… to confidently stewarding their family's meaning, mechanism, and money with purpose.We'll walk you through Darren and Buffy's real-life experience using the Seven Generations Legacy® process, including: Why they felt stuck, even after decades of success How they aligned their faith, finances, and family The power of creating meaning and mechanism—not just money What happened after they hosted their first Family Legacy Summit This isn't theory. This is transformation. If you've ever wondered how to truly align your values with your wealth—or how to pass on something deeper than money—this story is for you. From Disconnected Assets to a Unified Legacy Vision Darren and Buffy didn't come to Seven Generations Legacy empty-handed. They had two decades of successful business ownership, investments, and assets. But what they didn't have was an integrated plan—or a way to ensure it wouldn't all unravel when passed to the next generat...

Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are rapidly growing in popularity, and for good reason. ETFs offer investors an easy, cost-efficient way to diversify their portfolios. But what are they, and what advantages do they offer over other investments? Deirdre Gibson joins us today to talk about ETFs and why you should consider putting some in your portfolio.Deirdre Gibson is a Senior National Sales Consultant and ETF Specialist for Praxis Investment Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. What Is an ETF—and How Does It Differ from a Mutual Fund?Think of an ETF as a basket of investments—stocks, bonds, or even commodities—that trades on an exchange like a stock. Unlike mutual funds, which process trades at the end of the day, ETFs allow you to buy and sell shares throughout the day. This provides investors with more flexibility, especially during volatile market conditions.ETFs are also more tax-efficient than mutual funds. Mutual fund transactions often trigger taxable events for all shareholders, whereas ETFs, due to their structure, generally limit capital gains taxes.Like mutual funds, ETFs offer built-in diversification by holding a variety of assets. This helps reduce risk—if one stock in the fund dips, others can offset the loss. It's also advised to avoid trading ETFs during the first and last 10 minutes of the market day, when prices are more volatile and spreads are wider.While some ETFs are straightforward, others are complex. For example, oil futures ETFs don't always track the price of oil as expected, making them riskier for everyday investors. Thankfully, ETF issuers are required to disclose all holdings and strategies on their websites, empowering investors to make informed decisions.Faith-Based Investing with PraxisHistorically, faith-based investing has centered around mutual funds. But that's changing. Praxis recently launched two ETFs designed with Christian values at their core:PRXG: Praxis Impact Large Cap Growth ETFPRXV: Praxis Impact Large Cap Value ETFThese funds reflect biblical principles by screening out companies involved in harmful practices and engaging with others to encourage positive change. One powerful example? Praxis helped Hershey and other chocolate companies address child slavery in their supply chains—an impact made possible through years of collaborative engagement.For 2025, Praxis is focusing on technological transformation, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. It's vital to have Christians at the table asking not just what is possible, but what kind of future we want to create.If you're interested in faith-based investing and work with a financial advisor, we encourage you to start a conversation with them. Your advisor wants to help you achieve your goals, and your values are an integral part of that. More advisors today are equipped to offer faith-based investments that don't compromise on financial performance.Learn MoreYou can explore Praxis's biblically responsible investment solutions, including their new ETFs, by visiting praxisinvests.com.Faithful investing is more accessible than ever.
