On the Finish Line Podcast, we have always believed in the power of stories. Over hundreds of conversations, we have seen how God patiently draws people into generosity across an entire lifetime, often through unexpected paths.     Yet for many, these stories also surface an honest question: “What does this mean for me, and where is God calling me next?”     In this special episode, fellow Finish Line board members David Campaigne from Blue Trust and Matt Mancinelli from Generous Giving help us introduce our most significant development since the launch of the Finish Line Pledge: The Applied Generosity Podcast.     Each story we've shared in the last few years has been shaped by unique calling, personal surrender, and profound steps of faith. Yet over time, patterns have emerged. While no two stories are the same, many givers find themselves crossing the same terrain, wrestling with similar questions, fears, and decisions along the way.     Applied Generosity was created to help make sense of that shared landscape, exploring seven dimensions of generosity that repeatedly show up across the journeys we have heard.      It provides a map, helping bring orientation, language, and clarity to where God may already be at work in your own life and where He may be inviting a next step.      If you've been inspired by the stories you've heard on Finish Line Podcast, but long for clearer discernment about the next step in your own journey, then Applied Generosity was specifically made for you. QUOTES TO REMEMBER David: “Generosity is a journey, like life is a journey. You plant a seed, you water it, but ultimately it's God who makes things grow.” Matt: “We're being invited into being more like Jesus as we give.” David: “God doesn't need our money; what He ultimately wants is our heart.” Cody: “Some of the largest obstacles to living generously are fear and greed, and these are both addressed by answering the question, ‘how much is enough?'” Matt: “If I see an opportunity to bless somebody in a way that would boost their faith and I can come alongside them, that's when I'm fired up to give.” David: “I want to know that my giving, whether to an individual or an organization, is going to draw people to Jesus.” Kealan: “Generosity is one of the strongest means by which God enables me to trust Him.” David: “How can we leverage the currency of that which is passing away into the currency of that which will endure forever?” Kealan: “Applied generosity is simply naming the shared landscape of the the generous life and providing some definition to it so we can see the whole picture and figure out where that next right step is in our own journey.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Applied Generosity David Campaigne, Financial Advisor at Ronald Blue Trust (see our past interview here) Heather Tuininga, Founder of 10|10 Strategies (see our past interview here) Matt Mancinelli, Managing Director at Generous Giving (see our past interview here)  Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman) Ronald Blue Trust (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) The Treasure Principle (see our interview with author Randy Alcorn) God and Money (see our interviews with co-authors Greg Baumer and John Cortines) Museum of the Bible Hope International (see our interview with founder, Jeff Rutt or CEO, Peter Greer) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 | God Makes Things Grow   Luke 16:10a | Faithful in Little and Much   “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much,   1 Timothy 6:17-19 | True Riches   As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

The Lord who "thus far" has helped you Will help you all your journey through. "When the words 'thus far' are read in heaven's light, what glorious and miraculous prospects they reveal to our grateful eyes!" —C.H. Spurgeon "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, 'Till now the Lord has helped us.'” (1 Sam. 7:12, ESV) "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." (1 Sam. 7:12, KJV) What is your "Thus Far"…this past year?

Work takes up 40–50 hours a week—so it's shaping us and shaping our kids whether we realize it or not. What does it look like to work unto the Lord instead of working for approval, money, or reputation? How do we keep a good attitude on Monday, stay focused in a distracted age, and carry integrity when the workplace pressures compromise? The dads get practical about being a godly worker and training our sons to be the same.

Welcome to Day 2771 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday –The Prayers of Christ and the Destiny of the Faithful.   Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2771 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2771 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Prayers of Christ and the Destiny of the Faithful.   When Jesus prays to the Father in the Gospels, He does so as the Incarnate Son, fully God and fully man. His prayers are not signs of weakness or inequality, but expressions of true humanity. They reflect His relationship with the Father within the limitations of flesh and blood, taken on voluntarily to accomplish the redemption of mankind. Yet Christ's prayers do more than model dependence. They reveal His mission, not merely to forgive sin, but to lead those united to Him into eternal fellowship with Yahweh, where they will be glorified through their relationship with Him. In His High Priestly Prayer in John seventeen, Jesus says: “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one” (John seventeen verse twenty-two). This is not poetic exaggeration. It is a clear expression of Christ's intent to raise His followers into the glory that He shares with the Father, restoring and transforming them in the process. The first segment is: Jesus's Prayers as Revelation of His Mission. In John seventeen verses one and two, Jesus prays: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.” Christ's authority includes granting eternal life, an existence defined not merely by duration, but by nature: incorruptibility, righteousness, and unending communion with God. Later in the same prayer, He says: “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory…” (John seventeen verse twenty-four) Though Christ is fully divine, He chose to humble Himself. As Paul writes in Philippians two verses six through eight, though existing in the form of God, He did not cling to His divine status but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant. Hebrews two says He was made for a little while lower than the angels, not because He lost divinity, but because He embraced full humanity. His prayers reflect this self-imposed humility and His desire to elevate those He redeems. The second segment is: The Resurrection Body and the Nature of Glorified Transformation. Scripture consistently affirms the transformation of the faithful, not merely morally, but ontologically. Psalm eight states that man was made “a little lower than the heavenly beings,” but destined to be crowned with glory and honor. Hebrews two applies this to Christ and, by extension, to all who belong to Him. First Corinthians fifteen declares that believers will be raised with glorified, incorruptible bodies. Paul...

If you've ever whispered, "God, what do I do with this grief I can't even name?" — this episode is for you. So many parents are trying to stay faithful… while quietly carrying spiritual pain no one else sees. Grief that doesn't have a name. Disappointment that feels "un-Christian" to admit. Anguish that lingers, even when you're doing all the "right" things. In this episode, we talk honestly about the kind of pain that doesn't fit into neat categories — and the courage it takes to stay when your heart feels like it's breaking. What we cover: Why unspoken pain doesn't disappear — it just goes underground The difference between doubt and honest faith How lament can actually be one of the most faithful things you do Naming grief when your child is still alive What to pray when you're too tired for long prayers Why your sorrow does not disqualify your faithfulness Take this with you: You are not just a parent in pain. You are a parent in position. And God is still working in the dark. Mentioned in this episode: Last week's episode on releasing shame (Ep 1: "It Wasn't Your Fault") Scripture-based reflections on grief and lament A simple practice of honest prayer you can begin this week Let's stay connected: If today's episode spoke to you, would you take a moment to share it with someone who's navigating a similar journey? You're not alone — and neither are they.

Who holds all these titles: Faithful witness, Firstborn of the dead, the Prince of the kings of the earth, He who loved us, He who washed us, He who made us kings and priests.

In Paul's list of elder qualifications, does “husband of one wife” mean “never remarried” — and does “his children are faithful” mean they must be Christians?

Spending decisions aren't just financial—they reveal what, and whom, we value. That was the central insight Dr. Kelly Rush shared in today's conversation on Faith & Finance, where she unpacked the Old Testament story of Jonah through the lens of money and stewardship.Dr. Rush, Professor of Finance and Financial Planning at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, explained that Jonah's story isn't only about a prophet running from God. It's also a revealing case study in how financial choices often mirror the condition of the heart. Her core conviction is simple but challenging: every spending decision is a spiritual decision.According to Dr. Rush, money functions like a mirror. It reflects what we care about, what we trust, and what direction our hearts are moving. That principle, she noted, is woven throughout Scripture—and Jonah provides a surprisingly clear example.Many readers miss the fact that money appears twice in Jonah's short book. The first instance comes right at the beginning. When God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah runs in the opposite direction. Scripture tells us that he paid the fare to board a ship to Tarshish. Dr. Rush noted that this is one of the few passages in the Bible where the cost of travel is explicitly mentioned. The detail matters. Jonah didn't just flee spiritually—he financed his rebellion. Running from God came at a financial cost.That decision didn't affect Jonah alone. When God sent a storm, the sailors were forced to throw their valuable cargo overboard to save their lives. Dr. Rush emphasized that poor stewardship rarely stays contained. Our financial and spiritual misalignment often impacts others—families, churches, workplaces, and communities. At the same time, she noted, faithful stewardship creates ripple effects of blessing.The story then turns. In Jonah chapter two, inside the fish, Jonah repents. He cries out to God and vows obedience. This time, Dr. Rush explained, Jonah's “payment” isn't money but repentance and follow-through. When Jonah's heart is realigned, his response changes as well. Repentance redirects both priorities and spending.Dr. Rush connected that pattern to modern life. Faithful follow-through today, she said, looks like honoring a budget, keeping commitments to generosity, giving as worship rather than obligation, and acting with honesty and integrity in saving, investing, and repaying debt. These practices aren't merely financial—they're spiritual expressions of trust and obedience.Budgets, Dr. Rush explained, tell a story. They put dollars and cents to what we prioritize and reveal whether we're seeking God's Kingdom or quietly running from Him. That can be uncomfortable—but it's also hopeful. Jonah's story is full of second chances. God didn't give up on Jonah, and financial mistakes don't disqualify us either.Dr. Rush closed with a practical starting point: begin with prayer, intentionally place generosity at the top of the budget, invite wise counsel, and remember that spending decisions are always spiritual decisions. Money tells a story—but by God's grace, it can be a story shaped for His glory.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:When I think of investing, I think of putting money into something that helps it grow. If I buy a stock that doesn't pay dividends, it can feel more like a speculative bet—just hoping the price goes up. Even if I'm a passive investor and don't benefit until I sell, does owning that stock actually help the company grow in a meaningful way, making it more of an actual investment rather than a bet?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)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)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

As a new year begins, John invites us to pause and think about the past, lessons learned, and what faithful financial progress really looks like.  In this four part series, he challenges and equips you to set wise goals then focus toward the meaningful steps of actually achieving them with a four-step framework of learning lessons, clarifying vision, aligning mission, and living values. With the support of a newly updated goal achievement workbook and a clear step by step framework, John guides you in this first step, to learn your lessons from the past and use them for wise and faithful decisions in 2026! This series is designed to move us from good intentions to faithful achievement, one thoughtful step at a time. In this episode, John discusses:  Why setting money goals is easy—but achieving them requires clarity, courage, and commitment The purpose and structure of the four-part Goal Achievement series for 2026 How learning from your financial past creates wisdom instead of shame The four-step framework for faithful goal achievement: learning lessons, clarifying vision, aligning mission, and living values How reflecting on key “Money Moments” helps identify what worked, what didn’t, and why Key Takeaways: Financial progress begins not by rushing ahead, but by pausing to reflect honestly on where you’ve been and what God has already taught you. Learning your lessons transforms past mistakes into wisdom, allowing last year to become a foundation rather than a ceiling. Faithful goal achievement requires more than motivation—it takes intentional reflection, spiritual alignment, and daily obedience.

Is it possible to truly live a life you love? Join me and Sarah Boots from Faithful & Flourishing as we seek to answer this question based on truths from God's Word. We explore how to build an excellent life—not a perfect one—through intentional choices rooted in faith and wisdom. Drawing from Proverbs 29:18, we discuss the power of a clear vision to give direction and purpose. You'll learn to identify your top 5 priorities, use them as a decision-making filter, and align daily habits with what matters most—through keystone habits, habit stacking, and asking, "What will tomorrow's me thank today's me for?" We also dive into the freedom of simplicity: decluttering your space, schedule, and mind to create margin for family, faith, and rest—because a cluttered life often crowds out what we claim to value. Discover practical steps to live with purpose, avoid burnout, and ensure your time truly reflects your deepest priorities.   Resources Referenced: Time Saving Mom by Crystal Paine https://amzn.to/495jHzc  Find Sarah on Instagram at Faithful & Flourishing https://www.instagram.com/faithfulandflourishing/  Watch the interview on YouTube! https://youtu.be/F78KcA4fSlM    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

At the height of his reign, Solomon enjoyed wisdom, wealth, peace, and God's favor. But a quiet shift was taking place that eventually led him to worship other gods. In this lesson, we will look at the the choices that pulled Solomon away from God so we don't make the same mistakes. You may think you could never turn away from God, but I'm sure Solomon thought the same thing.

Our word for 2026 is Faithfulness. This message launches a new series, “But Do You?”, challenging us to move beyond theory and live with real trust in God's love. True faithfulness grows where trust is rooted—not in our consistency, but in God's unchanging, covenant love. Scripture reminds us that God does not shift, cancel, or abandon His people. He may correct, but He never discards. Through the example of Abraham and Sarah, we learn that God's faithfulness is not measured by speed, but by certainty—what He promises, He will perform. As we step into 2026, we are called to anchor our hearts in God's faithful love, trust Him in the waiting, obey Him with confidence, and build our lives on the truth that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Faithfulness is no longer just a concept—it becomes a lifestyle rooted in trusting the Father's heart.

God cares about every part of our lives. For the next few weeks, we'll be talking about money, because how we use money is a huge part of our lives. God wants us to be faithful, to trust God's teachings and that God will provide, and God wants us to be free, free from worry, anxiety, and stress over money.

In this sermon, we explored the story of Hosea and the shocking beauty of God's covenant love revealed through a lived parable of betrayal, pursuit, and redemption. Hosea's marriage to an unfaithful wife exposes our own tendency to wander—trusting other loves to give us what only God can. Yet instead of rejecting His people, God relentlessly pursues them, pays the price to redeem them, and restores them from shame to belonging. The story of Hosea ultimately points us to Jesus, the true and faithful Husband, who meets our unfaithfulness not with condemnation but with compassion. At the cross, Jesus pays the ultimate price with His own blood, reclaiming us as His own and inviting us home—not merely forgiven, but renewed, restored, and securely loved.

As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness. Our confidence isn’t in what’s ahead, but in Who goes before us. Do you want to listen ad-free?

But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

As we begin a new year, many parents are carrying more than they expected — unresolved relationships, unanswered prayers, and the quiet weight of loving a child through pain, distance, or deep disagreement. In this first episode of the Still Faithful series, we slow down together and begin with something essential: releasing shame. This episode is for parents who are questioning themselves, their faith, or what faithfulness looks like after a hard year. It's a grounding invitation to look back honestly — without self-blame — and to begin moving forward with steadiness, clarity, and grace. This is not about fixing your child or forcing outcomes. It's about strengthening you. In this episode, we talk about: The difference between faithfulness and outcomes How to look back at the past year without self-condemnation What you may be carrying that was never meant to be yours Why faithfulness can coexist with heartbreak How to begin a new year grounded rather than striving Reflection questions to sit with: Where have I been harder on myself than God has been? What did faithfulness look like for me this past year — even if it felt quiet or unseen? What responsibility or guilt do I need to release as I move forward? A gentle reminder: You can be deeply faithful and deeply heartbroken at the same time. Faithfulness does not require resolution — only presence. As we move through this series, we'll continue to explore how to stay spiritually anchored, emotionally steady, and rooted in love — even when the story isn't finished.   About the Series: Still Faithful Still Faithful is a season created for Christian parents navigating painful, unresolved parenting journeys — including estrangement, distance, and moments when a child's choices challenge deeply held beliefs.
