What if the inner conflict you feel isn't a sign that something is wrong with you, but a signal that healing is possible? In this powerful edition of our monthly feature Dr. Carol talks with Zion and Avery Montgomery to explore how sin, evil, and trauma fracture us internally and shape our emotions, relationships, and spiritual lives. Drawing from both Biblical truths and the psychological framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this conversation highlights how Jesus makes us whole as He brings healing and integration to every wounded or hidden part of the heart.   Avery shares his personal journey from living with a performance-based identity to learning how to walk in authentic presence and intimacy with Him. The conversation also dives into the role of the inner child, explaining how younger, wounded versions of ourselves often continue influencing present-day behaviors and relationships.  If you're carrying fractured places within yourself, this conversation will give you language, hope, and a next step.   For more about the Montgomerys: Follow @averymont and @ztmont on Instagram.

A growing number of Christians are asking not just how to invest, but whether their investments reflect what they believe. For many believers, investing has often been treated as a purely financial activity—something focused on returns, risk, diversification, and retirement goals. But what if investing is also deeply connected to our faith and calling? Luke Bolton, Executive for Strategic Relationships at Kingdom Advisors and co-author of the upcoming book, The Theology of Investing: A Biblical Perspective for Contemporary Investors, joins us on the show today to say that this is ultimately about more than financial strategy. It is about theology—what we believe about God, money, stewardship, and the world He created. Why a Theology of Investing Matters Most Christians encounter investing at some point, whether through a workplace retirement plan, an IRA, a brokerage account, or a conversation with a financial advisor. But many have never paused to ask a deeper question: What does my faith have to say about this? For Bolton, the answer begins with the lordship of Christ. If we confess that Jesus is Lord, then He is Lord over everything—including our money, savings, and investments. Colossians 3:17 says, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.” That “everything” includes how we invest. This does not mean every Christian will make the exact same investing decisions. But it does mean investing should not be placed in a separate category outside discipleship. Our portfolios, like every other part of life, should be brought under the wisdom and purposes of God. Investing Begins in the Heart A biblical approach to investing starts with what is happening internally. Are we trusting God, or are we trusting the markets? Are we investing out of wisdom and stewardship, or anxiety and fear? Are we content and grateful, or driven by comparison and accumulation? Those heart-level questions matter because financial decisions are never purely financial. They reveal what we value, what we fear, and where we place our hope. Scripture repeatedly reminds us not to put our ultimate confidence in wealth, which is uncertain, but in God, who richly provides. That perspective changes the way we think about return, risk, security, and purpose. Investing Also Has an Outward Expression Faith-based investing is not only about the heart, though. It also shapes outward decisions. Bolton explained that over the last 20 to 30 years, a growing number of Christians have begun taking meaningful action through their investments in three key ways. Some seek to avoid investments that conflict with their faith. Others look for opportunities to use their influence as investors for good. Still others seek investments that actively align with God's heart for human flourishing and the good of His world. In other words, faith-based investing can move beyond simply asking, “What should I avoid?” It can also ask, “What good can my investments help accomplish?” Seeking the Welfare of the World Jeremiah 29:7 says, “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you…for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Galatians 6:10 adds, “As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Those passages help frame investing as an opportunity. Capital can be deployed in ways that contribute to human flourishing, support productive work, and reflect God's concern for the world He made. That does not remove the need for careful financial analysis. Investors still need wisdom, diversification, and sound counsel. But it does add another layer of due diligence: How might this investment reflect God's character, purposes, and mission? Where to Begin For someone who wants to move in this direction, Bolton suggested a few simple first steps. Start by learning more about investing from a biblical worldview. Then take time to understand what you already own. Many investors do not know which companies or funds are represented in their portfolios. From there, seek wise counsel. This is not a conversation to navigate alone or simply by searching online. Proverbs reminds us that wisdom is often found in the presence of many counselors. A practical next step may be as simple as asking your advisor, “How might I better align my investments with my values?” Bolton noted that many advisors are waiting for clients to raise the question. In many cases, values-aligned investing conversations begin when investors ask. Your Portfolio Is an Opportunity The field of faith-based investing continues to grow. More investment solutions are becoming available for retirement plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs, and brokerage accounts. That growth is encouraging because it gives Christian investors more opportunity to connect their financial decisions with their convictions. But the goal is not merely to find a “Christian” version of investing. The deeper goal is faithful stewardship. Investing is not only about increasing wealth. It is about managing what God has entrusted to us in a way that reflects His character and purposes. At the end of the day, our portfolios are more than accounts. They are opportunities. They give us a chance to ask whether our financial decisions are shaped by faith, wisdom, and love of neighbor. They invite us to consider how our resources can participate in God's work in the world.

What if investing could be about more than performance? What if it could also be about purpose? For many believers, stewardship does not stop with earning, giving, saving, or spending. It also includes asking whether the companies we invest in reflect the values we profess. And as more Christians think carefully about their portfolios, faith-based investing tools are making that conversation more practical than ever. Mike Schnackenberg, Head of Distribution at Eventide Asset Management, joins the show today to discuss the rise of faith-based ETFs and how investors can align their portfolios with their convictions while honoring God and serving the common good. What Is an ETF? ETF stands for exchange-traded fund. Simply put, an ETF is an investment vehicle that can hold multiple stocks or bonds under one ticker symbol. That gives investors a convenient way to diversify. Instead of purchasing shares of dozens—or even hundreds—of individual companies, an investor can gain exposure to many holdings through a single investment. ETFs also trade on exchanges like stocks, which means they can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. Many also provide transparency, giving investors visibility into the companies or holdings inside the fund. For years, many people associated ETFs mainly with passive investing—funds that simply track a broad market index. But that has been changing. More active strategies are now being offered through ETFs as well, partly because of the accessibility, transparency, and tax efficiency the structure can provide. Is Passive Investing Really Neutral? One of the most important questions for Christian investors is whether passive investing is truly neutral. At first glance, it may seem that way. If an investor is simply tracking an index, it can feel like they are not making an active ethical choice. But from a biblical stewardship perspective, every investment decision carries moral weight because investing involves ownership. Even if someone owns only a small percentage of a large company, that investor still has a connection to the company's products, practices, profits, and impact. If we benefit from a company's success, then it is worth asking whether that success comes through work that contributes to human flourishing—or work that harms our neighbors. That is why faith-based investing begins with a deeper question: What kind of impact do I want my investments to have? Investing Is Ownership For believers, stewardship is not limited to giving, budgeting, or avoiding debt. It also includes investing. If God owns everything, then the money we invest is also entrusted to us by Him. That means our portfolios should not be disconnected from our discipleship. A broad market index may include companies involved in industries or practices many Christians would find troubling—areas connected to addiction, exploitation, the destruction of life, or other harms to human flourishing. Faith-based investing seeks to avoid those problematic areas while also identifying companies whose products and practices serve people well. The goal is not merely to avoid what is harmful. It is also to pursue what is good. The Awareness Gap One of the biggest challenges is that many Christians simply do not know that faith-based investing options are available. They may assume their only choices are traditional index funds, mutual funds, or ETFs that make no distinction between companies based on values or business practices. But the faith-based investing space has grown, giving investors more opportunities to pursue financial goals while also seeking values alignment. For many believers, the first step is simply awareness: learning what they currently own and understanding what companies or industries may already be represented in their portfolio. That discovery process can be eye-opening. Many investors find that familiar funds or indexes include exposure to businesses they would not knowingly support. What Should Investors Look For? Those who want their investments to align more closely with their convictions should begin by examining what their current investments contain. Some screening tools allow investors or advisors to enter a ticker symbol and review exposure to areas many Christians consider problematic, such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pornography, and abortion-related businesses. Some faith-based investment firms screen across many additional ethical categories. This kind of review is not meant to stir up guilt. It is meant to bring clarity. Once investors understand what they own, they can make more intentional decisions about where their money is invested and which kinds of companies they want to support. Eventide's Approach to Faith-Based ETFs Eventide Asset Management has long focused on values-based investing. Its tagline is “Investing that makes the world rejoice,” a phrase that reflects its desire to identify companies that contribute to human flourishing while avoiding businesses involved in harmful practices. Eventide has now brought that approach into the ETF space. Its ETF lineup includes both an actively managed high-dividend strategy and several systematic ETFs designed to provide investors with broad market exposure while applying value-based screens. The aim is to offer investors something similar to the look and feel of traditional market exposure, while avoiding companies involved in practices that conflict with a biblical worldview and leaning toward businesses that create real value for people and communities. Investing for Human Flourishing Faith-based investing is not only about what investors avoid. It is also about what they support. At their best, businesses can serve customers, create meaningful work, solve real problems, develop helpful products, and strengthen communities. Investing can be one way of participating in that good work. That is why this conversation is about more than portfolio construction. It is about asking whether the resources God has entrusted to us are being used in ways that reflect His purposes. Christian investors do not have to choose between thoughtful financial stewardship and faithfulness. The goal is to pursue wise investing while also asking how our investments can honor God and love our neighbors. The potential impact is significant. A large amount of public equity assets is held by church-attending Christians, yet only a small portion of those assets is currently invested in explicitly faith-aligned ways. If more believers began viewing their investments as part of their stewardship, capital could be directed away from destructive industries and toward companies creating meaningful value in the world. Now more than ever, Christians have an opportunity to align the resources God has entrusted to them with the values they profess. Investing is not just about growing wealth. It is about stewardship. It is about ownership. And for the believer, it is one more area of life where faith should shape financial decisions.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I have two retirement accounts totaling about $18,000 and need to withdraw the funds. They're withholding 20% plus fees—around $2,200 per account. Is that normal? I'm 74 and have a universal life policy with a $750,000 death benefit and about $60,000 in cash value. Premiums are now being drawn from the policy, and the value is declining. Since I'm debt-free and financially stable, would it make more sense to surrender the policy and invest the cash instead?

Marc Cox interviews author and speaker Wendi Rees following President Trump's announcement supporting accelerated access to psychedelic-assisted therapies for veterans and patients suffering from severe PTSD and depression. Rees, co-author of The Christian's Guide to Psychedelics, shares her deeply personal story of childhood abuse, suicidal thoughts, and eventual healing through medically supervised psychedelic treatments including ibogaine, psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine. Raised in a strict Christian household, Rees explains how she initially rejected the therapies as sinful before ultimately viewing them as tools created by God to help repair trauma-damaged brains. The discussion centers on balancing faith, medical safety, and discernment while stressing that these treatments are not recreational drugs but structured therapies requiring professional oversight. Rees also praises Trump's executive action as a major first step toward making psychedelic-assisted treatment more accessible inside the United States instead of forcing veterans and trauma victims to travel overseas for care.

There's a difference between visiting… and living somewhere.You can be welcomed, comfortable, even at peace for a moment…and still feel that subtle sense that you don't belong there. And then there's home. In this episode, I share a quiet but honest question: Where do you actually live with God?Jesus didn't invite us to visit His love.He invited us to make our home there.Not occasionally.Not when things feel hard.Not just to be filled up so we can go back to carrying everything on our own.To live there. If you've been feeling tired, this isn't a call to try harder. It may be an invitation to stop leaving. No pressure.Just a return.If you feel that pull to go deeper, I am hosting Fortified on May 16.A gathering for those ready to stop visiting and start inhabiting.Find out more information and get your seat right here: https://vibrantliving-fortified.carrd.co/

Every so often, an idea comes along that makes so much sense it makes you wonder - why haven't we been talking more about this? In that vein comes today's guest, Eli Smith, who is pioneering something called the Faith-Based Housing Initiative.Eli describes it well, but there's a fascinating juncture here of issues related to churches and faith institutions of all kinds; the societal issues around loneliness; and the lack of housing - especially meaningful, community-based housing.Eli and his partners help cohorts of faith-based institutions in certain markets to identify how they can develop housing themselves, often on excess land they aren't using. While this runs up against a whole other set of issues that churches and temples face, it offers a glimpse at something very hopeful as well.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Have you ever followed every plan, hit every macro, finished every hard workout — and still felt completely disconnected from your own body? What if the missing piece isn't more discipline? What if it's learning to listen? In this episode, I sit down with my personal nutrition and breathwork coach, Rebecca Stonhill, owner of EnVie Fitness Nutrition and Wellness in Meridian, Idaho. Rebecca left a 20-year corporate HR career to follow God's call to help women build strength, balance, and confidence from the inside out — and her faith-based approach has genuinely been the most transformative thing I've done in 2026. What we cover: What "embodiment" actually means — and how to practice it practically The biggest nutrition mistakes midlife women make (food jail, all-or-nothing, and not eating enough) Why hitting 100g of protein daily and going 1% better beats every fad diet What faith-based breathwork actually looks like — prayer, worship music, and nervous system regulation How breathwork helped me fall back asleep in the middle of the night for the first time in years Why "when we feel, we can heal" changes everything Rebecca's free breathwork session offer in the Breathing Room Rebecca's one takeaway: Stop white-knuckling life.

Faith Driven Investor Podcast | Ep. 221 | Marks on the Market: The State of Faith-Based Investing in Public Markets — with Tim Macready of Brightlight Key Topics: The mixed performance picture for faith-based funds in 2025 — the average faith-based fund underperformed by just under 2.5%, driven largely by exclusions of Magnificent Seven stocks — and why that context matters for long-term investors How a $140 billion market representing less than half a percent of the broader ETF/mutual fund landscape signals an enormous untapped opportunity for faith-driven capital The shift from product-focused exclusionary screening toward engagement and "embrace" strategies — and why shareholder proxy voting and active engagement are now the frontier of faith-based investing The growing need for theological clarity in fund screening — from the "big five" traditional screens to harder modern questions around online child safety, human trafficking, and Mag Seven holdings The "core satellite" portfolio framework Tim recommends: low-cost, passive, well-screened exposure at the core, with active engage/embrace strategies at the satellite — and why this approach is now achievable with ETFs alone Guest Quotes: "I think two things can simultaneously be true as believers. I think we ought to be willing to make sacrifices in order to express our faith in the way that we live. And at the same time, in the faith-based investing space, I believe we ought not need to — that there should be excellent products that are delivering performance that is kind of aligned to the broader market." — Tim Macready "The variety in the decision-making around screens is a strength of the market rather than a weakness." — Tim Macready "Watch this space, I think, for more developments there." — Tim Macready (on the emerging "nutrition label" approach to faith-based fund disclosures) Episode Description: What does the state of faith-based investing in public markets actually look like heading into 2026? Tim Macready, Head of Global Advisory at Brightlight, joins Richard Cunningham and Luke Roush for the April edition of Marks on the Markets to break down Brightlight's third annual research report — the most comprehensive institutional analysis of faith-driven public markets investing available. Tim unpacks a nuanced performance picture: the average faith-based fund delivered 16% returns in 2025, but underperformed its benchmark by nearly 2.5% — primarily because many funds excluded several of the Magnificent Seven companies that drove outsized market gains. He explains why this underperformance mirrors patterns seen in the early 2010s, and why history suggests a more favorable environment may be ahead as markets broaden beyond mega-cap growth stocks. Beyond performance, this conversation is a masterclass in the evolving structure of the faith-based investing market — from the ETF product explosion and the "core satellite" portfolio approach, to the theological questions fund managers must answer about screens, engagement, and what it truly means to invest to the glory of God. Whether you're a financial advisor navigating client conversations or a faith-driven investor trying to align capital with conviction, this episode delivers both the data and the framework.

What is the true cost of vanity?In this episode of More Than The Bag, we break down the deeper, biblical meaning of vanity—beyond appearance, beyond material things, and into the condition of the heart.Vanity is anything that looks valuable in the moment but has no eternal weight—anything we chase, build, or become outside of God that ultimately leaves us empty.So many are pursuing success, recognition, and influence, but what happens when those things replace God? What happens when you gain the world… but lose your soul?This episode is a call to examine your life, your priorities, and your alignment with God.

Faith-based investing has been around for decades, yet many investors still wrestle with an important question: Does aligning your investments with your values mean sacrificing performance or diversification? As more people seek to steward their resources in ways that reflect their convictions, it's worth taking a closer look at what faith-based investing really is—and what it isn't. On today's show, Brian Mumbert, President of Timothy Plan—a pioneer in faith-based mutual funds—joined us to help clear up some of the most common misconceptions and offered a clearer picture of how values-driven investing really works. What Is Faith-Based Investing? At its core, faith-based investing seeks to align financial decisions with biblical values. This often involves screening out companies whose practices conflict with those convictions while still pursuing wise, disciplined investment strategies. Despite its growing popularity, several misconceptions persist. Misconception #1: “Faith-Based Funds Always Cost More” One common assumption is that filtering companies based on values automatically leads to higher fees. In reality, faith-based funds are managed much like traditional mutual funds. They involve professional research, portfolio management, and strategic allocation. In many cases, expense ratios are comparable—especially with the availability of lower-cost options like ETFs. That said, there may be instances where costs are slightly higher. But as Brian Mumbert noted, many investors are willing to pay slightly more to ensure their investments reflect what they truly value. Misconception #2: “You Have to Sacrifice Performance” Another concern is that prioritizing values means settling for weaker returns. But values-based screening doesn't replace sound investment analysis—it works alongside it. Professional managers still evaluate fundamentals, risks, and long-term opportunities. In fact, many faith-based funds have demonstrated competitive performance over time, and in some cases, have even outperformed their unscreened counterparts. As Mumbert explained, the goal is to combine wise stewardship with disciplined investing—not to choose between them. Misconception #3: “It Doesn't Really Make an Impact” Some critics argue that faith-based investing lacks real-world impact since most stock transactions occur on the secondary market. While it's true that buying and selling shares doesn't directly fund companies in the same way as an initial public offering, investing still represents ownership—and ownership matters. Mumbert pointed out that shareholders have a voice. They can vote proxies, engage with companies, and choose not to profit from industries that conflict with their convictions. For many believers, that's a meaningful form of stewardship. Misconception #4: “Screening Limits Diversification” A final concern is that excluding certain companies will significantly narrow investment options. In practice, even strict faith-based screens still leave a vast majority of the investable universe available—often around 90%. That means investors can still achieve broad diversification across sectors and asset classes while remaining aligned with their values. A Better Way to Think About Investing Faith-based investing isn't about making a symbolic statement or checking a box. It's about recognizing that every financial decision reflects what we value—and choosing to steward those decisions intentionally. It invites us to ask a deeper question: What does faithfulness look like in the way I invest what God has entrusted to me? You don't have to choose between conviction and competence. Faith-based investing offers a way to pursue both—aligning your portfolio with your beliefs while still practicing wise, disciplined stewardship. Because in the end, investing isn't just about returns—it's about responsibility.

In this episode, Sathiya explains why trying to quit porn alone isn't just ineffective — it's unbiblical and counterproductive. If effort alone worked, you'd already be free. He unpacks how isolation fuels secrecy, rumination, and internal pressure, making self-control harder rather than easier. Scripture consistently shows that transformation happens in community, not in solitude. True freedom requires structure, visibility, rhythm, and brotherhood. Community doesn't replace discipline — it sustains growth long enough for real change to compound.
