Money has a way of reaching places in our lives that few other things do. It touches our fears, desires, relationships, priorities, and sense of security.That may be why Jesus spoke so often about money and possessions. In Matthew 6:21, He says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Jesus understood something we often miss: money issues are often heart issues. Our financial choices can reveal what we trust, what we desire, and ultimately what we treasure.Materialism Is a Heart ProblemYears ago, Ron Blue once shared a story from his time in Kenya that profoundly shaped the way I think about stewardship.Ron was sitting on a hillside with a local pastor, looking out over the village where the man lived. Ron asked him what he thought was a practical question: “What's the greatest barrier to the spread of the gospel here?”Ron expected to hear about a lack of money, transportation, or other resources.The pastor didn't hesitate. “Materialism.”Ron was stunned. Surely materialism was primarily a Western problem. But the pastor explained that if a man has a mud hut, he wants a stone hut. If he has a thatched roof, he wants a metal one. If he has one cow, he wants two.That conversation helped Ron recognize an important truth: Materialism isn't ultimately about how much you have. It's about what your heart longs for.If materialism can thrive in a mud hut as easily as in an American suburb, then possessions aren't the root problem. The heart is.Money simply has a remarkable ability to expose what is already there.Money Reveals What We TrustMoney itself is neither moral nor immoral. It is a tool. But because it touches nearly every area of life, the way we handle it can reveal what is happening inside us.Overspending may reveal a desire for identity, comfort, or approval. Clinging tightly to savings may reveal where we seek ultimate security. Debt can sometimes expose impatience or a desire to live beyond what God has currently provided. Resistance to generosity may reveal a fear that there will not be enough.In each case, the dollars are secondary. The heart is primary.The good news is that God cares deeply about our hearts, and He invites us into something better: freedom from fear, comparison, striving, and the belief that everything depends on us.Over the years, a few biblical truths have become foundational to the way I think about money and stewardship.1. God Owns It AllBiblical stewardship begins with ownership.Everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. Our money, possessions, abilities, opportunities, and even the power to produce wealth are gifts entrusted to us for a season.Recognizing God's ownership changes the question from, “What do I want to do with my money?” to, “God, what would You have me do with what belongs to You?”When we understand ourselves as stewards rather than owners, we can begin to hold money with greater gratitude, humility, and freedom.2. God Is Our ProviderJesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that our heavenly Father feeds the birds and clothes the lilies—and that His children are worth far more.That doesn't mean Christians will never face financial difficulty or uncertainty. It does mean our ultimate confidence is not found in a paycheck, investment account, or emergency fund.Wise planning matters. Saving matters. Working diligently matters. But none of those things were designed to carry the weight of our ultimate security.God is our provider. As that truth moves from something we know intellectually to something we believe deeply, fear begins to loosen its grip.3. Money Is a Tool, Not a TreasureMoney is useful, but it makes a terrible master.It was never meant to provide our identity, significance, or ultimate security. Instead, money can become a tool for accomplishing good purposes—providing for our families, meeting needs, blessing others, supporting gospel work, and practicing generosity.The problem begins when the tool becomes the treasure. Jesus calls us to something infinitely greater: to treasure Him above everything money can provide.When Christ becomes our ultimate treasure, money can return to its proper place.4. Financial Decisions Can Become Acts of WorshipStewardship is about far more than giving.Every spending decision, saving goal, act of generosity, and financial plan gives us another opportunity to ask, “Lord, how can I honor You with what You've entrusted to me?”That changes the way we approach money.Instead of treating our finances as an isolated part of life, we begin to see them as part of our discipleship. Spending can reflect gratitude and contentment. Saving can demonstrate wisdom and preparation. Giving can express love and trust. Planning can help us faithfully fulfill our responsibilities.Money stops competing for the throne of our hearts and becomes a tool we can place in God's hands.Discovering Our Ultimate TreasureThese truths are at the heart of Our Ultimate Treasure: A 21-Day Journey to Faithful Stewardship.We wrote it to help Christians work through foundational biblical principles of money and consider how those truths shape everyday financial decisions.Our hope is that as you walk through the devotional, you'll experience God's peace growing where fear once lived, contentment replacing comparison, and generosity overcoming the instinct toward self-protection.In the end, money will always reveal what we treasure most. And when Christ is our ultimate treasure, we discover a freedom and security that no amount of money could ever provide.You can order Our Ultimate Treasure for yourself, your church, or your small group at FaithFi.com/Shop.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I inherited land from my parents' trust in 2003 and sold it in 2025. I'm now facing a larger-than-expected capital gains tax bill. Does the inheritance tax exemption apply to the sale proceeds, or only to the property's value when I inherited it?I'm considering tapping my home equity. How does a traditional HELOC compare with newer home equity-sharing arrangements, and what are the pros and cons of each?Are there policies that combine life insurance with long-term care benefits? And can those products also include an investment component, or would investing need to be handled separately?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)FaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

Fiscal sponsorship can give independent filmmakers access to tax-deductible donations, in-kind contributions, grants, and other resources without changing how they ultimately monetize their films. No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with filmmaker Lindsey St. Laurent and New Hollywood's Ian Mark about how fiscal sponsorship works, how filmmakers can make their projects more attractive to donors, and why sustainable working conditions should be built into an indie film's financial plan from the beginning. They also discuss practical ways to prevent burnout, make microbudget sets more efficient, leverage tax incentives, and build the relationships that can help filmmakers get their projects made. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Lindsey St. Laurent and Ian Mark discuss... What fiscal sponsorship is and how it allows filmmakers to raise tax-deductible donations while still operating as a for-profit project when the film goes to market Why fiscal sponsorship can make donating to an independent film more appealing than a traditional equity investment How in-kind donations such as equipment, food, and other production resources can reduce a film's cash expenses Why fiscal sponsorship can add legitimacy when filmmakers approach corporations and local businesses for support New Hollywood's requirements for fiscally sponsored projects, including 12-hour maximum average workdays, 11-hour turnarounds, and protected meal breaks Why sustainable set culture and crew wellbeing can be part of a film's financing and production strategy Lindsey's preference for keeping production days under 10 hours and how extensive pre-production helps make that possible How table reads, storyboards, and careful crew selection can help prevent burnout and keep an indie production on schedule Why directors need a clear creative vision while remaining flexible when working with limited time and resources How filmmakers can make department heads' jobs easier by including them in scheduling and production-planning conversations The emotional demands placed on actors during fast-paced productions and why filmmakers should consider those demands when building a shooting schedule The importance of knowing your workplace rights, advocating for fair pay, and reading contracts on union and non-union productions How the current economic environment has made grants and corporate support more competitive for independent filmmakers Why filmmakers raising larger budgets should understand production tax credits and rebates before approaching investors How to approach potential donors as collaborators rather than simply asking them for money Why filmmakers should create momentum around a project and communicate that the production is moving forward with or without a particular donor Lindsey's advice to emerging filmmakers about building a community, supporting other filmmakers, and continuing to make work without waiting for ideal circumstances Ian's advice to learn as many filmmaking jobs as possible, create projects that fit the available budget, and maintain creative outlets while pursuing financing Why securing the first supporter, sponsor, or production partner can make subsequent partnerships easier to obtain Memorable Quotes: “The key thing for filmmakers to know is it doesn't affect the way you monetize your film at the end of the day.” “If I can put more energy into pre-production so that I'm supported to just, like, have summer camp fun on set the whole time, and I have the right people around me to support me, I'm gonna do it.” “Nobody is going to advocate for you on those sets except yourself, so it is good to know your rights.” “The first yes is the hardest one to get.

Where you bank may seem like a purely practical decision. We often compare interest rates, fees, convenience, and technology—and those things matter. But for Christians, banking can also be viewed through the larger lens of stewardship. Every financial decision gives us an opportunity to consider how faithfully we are managing the resources God has entrusted to us. Aaron Caid, Chief Marketing Officer at AdelFi Christian Banking, joined the show today to discuss financial discipleship, the role of Christian financial institutions, and how everyday banking decisions can support work that advances the gospel. Banking as an Act of Stewardship Biblical stewardship begins with recognizing that everything ultimately belongs to God. The money we earn, save, spend, borrow, and give has been entrusted to us to manage wisely. That perspective can shape even routine financial decisions. “For Christians, our financial decisions are an act of stewardship,” Aaron says. Whether a family is preparing for the future, a church is expanding its outreach, or a ministry is developing its budget, finances touch nearly every area of life. For a Christian financial institution such as AdelFi, that means providing practical banking tools while keeping biblical stewardship at the center of its mission. Families still need checking accounts, savings tools, loans, and credit cards. Churches and ministries still need financing and cash-management solutions. But those services can be offered with an understanding of the faith and mission behind them. Greater Capacity to Serve The strength of a financial institution matters because it affects its ability to serve its members. For families, that may mean access to resources for managing everyday expenses, building savings, and borrowing wisely. For churches and ministries, it can mean working with financial professionals who understand the unique challenges of ministry—including cash flow, property needs, growth, and long-term planning. One example came during the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Calvary Chapel South Orange County had been holding services outdoors in an outlet mall parking lot while Southern California churches faced restrictions on indoor gatherings. During that period, the congregation grew significantly and eventually became larger than its previous indoor space could accommodate. The church needed a new facility. AdelFi helped provide financing that enabled the congregation to purchase a larger property. While the transaction involved a loan, its impact went beyond dollars and cents. A larger building gave the growing church a place to gather, build relationships, worship, and continue growing together. It shows how financial resources can serve a larger purpose when deployed thoughtfully. What Is Financial Discipleship? Christian stewardship isn't ultimately about accumulating as much money as possible. Financial discipleship is about becoming increasingly faithful in the way we handle what God provides. That includes cultivating wisdom, contentment, generosity, and faithfulness. Jesus makes the connection between our finances and our spiritual lives clear in Matthew 6. He teaches that we cannot serve both God and money and reminds us, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Our financial habits can either reinforce or compete with the priorities we profess. Practically, financial discipleship may look remarkably ordinary. It can mean following a realistic spending plan, saving for future needs, avoiding unnecessary debt, practicing generosity, and making decisions based on biblical convictions rather than simply following cultural expectations. These habits aren't ends in themselves. They help us put money in its proper place—as a tool entrusted to us rather than a master that controls us. Can Where You Bank Make a Difference? Stewardship can also raise another question: What happens to our money after we deposit it? Financial institutions use deposits to support lending and other financial activity. That means Christians may want to consider not only the products a bank offers but also the purposes their financial institution helps support. At AdelFi, members' deposits help provide resources to serve Christian families, churches, and ministries. According to Aaron, AdelFi has funded more than $1 billion in ministry real estate loans, helping churches and ministries acquire or improve facilities while pursuing financially responsible solutions. The organization also offers products designed to connect everyday financial activity with generosity. Its Cash Rewards Visa®, for example, allows members to earn cash back, while AdelFi also gives to Christian ministries and missions when members use their cards. None of this means choosing a Christian financial institution is required for faithful stewardship. Christians can honor God through many different financial arrangements. But it reminds us that stewardship invites us to think intentionally about all our financial choices—including where we bank. Bringing Faith Into Everyday Financial Decisions Faithful stewardship isn't limited to the offering plate or the major financial decisions we make a few times in life. It reaches into the ordinary. How we budget. How we borrow. How we save. How we spend. And even where we choose to keep our money can reflect what we value. The goal isn't simply to make every financial decision appear “Christian.” It's to recognize that every dollar belongs to God and then prayerfully ask how we can manage His resources with wisdom, generosity, and faithfulness. When our financial choices are shaped by that perspective, even something as routine as choosing a bank can become another opportunity to align our money with our faith.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My husband and sister both passed away, and I received life insurance benefits from each. From a biblical perspective, should I tithe on those proceeds? Our younger daughter needs help with a down payment on property where she hopes to build a home. We'd like to help, but we still have a mortgage, only a few months of cash reserves, older vehicles, and several recent major expenses. Would helping her be wise, or would it put our own finances at too much risk? I'm retired, legally blind, and currently rent a home for $500 a month. The VA has approved grants to modify it for my needs, but my daughter thinks I should buy land and put a prefab home on it so I can build equity. Considering the added costs of ownership, would I be better off continuing to rent or buying a home?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads his Bits About Money essay on the business of wallets, with new commentary, prompted by paying his barber $100 over Venmo and wondering why PayPal so badly wants to be in the middle of that transaction. He walks through the economics that make wallets irresistible to anyone already moving money for users: funds enter the ecosystem at card interchange rates, move inside it at the cost of a database transaction, and get topped up over ACH pulls that cost about five cents at scale. From there he covers co-branded debit and credit cards, the loss-sharing language in PayPal's 10-K, Apple's 15 basis points on Apple Pay, and why a checkout page crowded with payment buttons starts to look like advertising inventory.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/everyone-wants-to-be-your-wallet/–Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Live Sep 2, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 141)The Meaning of 9/11—25 Years Later: Objectivism, Islamic Totalitarianism, and America's Crisis of IdeasWith Elan Journo, Onkar Ghate & Yaron BrookWhen jihadists struck on 9/11, ARI's response differed radically from those of conservatives, libertarians, and politicians of every persuasion. We argued that America faced a global ideological movement, that it needed to be defeated, but that the fundamental obstacle to U.S. victory was not a lack of military capability; it was philosophic.

Medicare may be one of the most important—and confusing—financial decisions you make in retirement. Between enrollment deadlines, late penalties, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, prescription coverage, and income-based premiums, there are plenty of decisions to navigate. And because some choices can have long-term financial consequences, understanding the basics before you enroll is an important part of wise stewardship. Eddie Holland, Senior Private Wealth Advisor and Partner at Blue Trust, as well as a CFP®, CPA, and Certified Kingdom Advisor®, recently joined Faith & Finance to help simplify Medicare and explain some of the most important planning considerations. Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D A good place to begin is with Medicare's different parts. Medicare Part A primarily covers hospital-related care, including inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, and hospice. For people who have accumulated the required work credits through either their own employment or their spouse's, Part A generally does not require a monthly premium. Medicare Part B covers many medical services outside the hospital, including doctor visits, lab work, and outpatient procedures. Unlike Part A, Part B generally carries a monthly premium, and higher-income retirees may pay more. Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs. Those enrolled in Original Medicare—Parts A and B—can generally purchase a separate Part D prescription drug plan. Medicare Part C, better known as Medicare Advantage, is offered through private insurance companies. These plans combine Parts A and B and often include Part D prescription coverage as well. Some plans may also offer additional benefits such as dental or vision coverage. Another option for those using Original Medicare is a Medicare supplement plan, commonly called Medigap. These private plans are designed to help cover some of the deductibles, copayments, and other expenses that Original Medicare does not pay. Pay Close Attention to Enrollment Timing Timing matters when enrolling in Medicare. Your Initial Enrollment Period generally lasts seven months: the three months before the month you turn 65, your birthday month, and the three months afterward. But turning 65 does not always mean you have to immediately leave employer-sponsored health coverage. If you or your spouse are still working and you have qualifying employer coverage, you may have access to a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to delay certain portions of Medicare without facing a late enrollment penalty. Holland notes that employer size and the nature of the coverage can affect how Medicare coordinates with the employer plan. That makes it important to speak with your employer's benefits or human resources department before making assumptions about which coverage should come first. Employer Size Can Make a Difference If your employer has 20 or more employees, the employer health plan may generally remain the primary payer while you continue working, potentially allowing you to postpone Part B and its monthly premium. With an employer of fewer than 20 employees, Medicare may become the primary payer once you are eligible. In that situation, failing to enroll in Parts A and B could potentially leave gaps in coverage. You should also verify whether your employer's prescription drug coverage is considered creditable coverage for Medicare purposes. That can be especially important if you plan to delay Part D beyond age 65. The larger lesson is simple: Medicare decisions should rarely be made in isolation. Your employer coverage, retirement date, spouse's coverage, prescription needs, and other factors all need to be considered together. What Is IRMAA? For higher-income retirees, another important acronym to know is IRMAA, or the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. IRMAA is an additional charge added to Medicare Part B and Part D premiums when modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds. For 2026, Holland notes that IRMAA begins above $109,000 in modified adjusted gross income for single filers and $218,000 for married couples filing jointly. Medicare generally bases the surcharge on the most recent tax information available, which often means looking back two years. So, for example, 2026 Medicare premiums may be based on income reported on a 2024 tax return. That two-year lookback can surprise people whose financial situation has recently changed. If your income has fallen because of certain qualifying life-changing events, such as retirement, marriage, or widowhood, you may be able to request a reconsideration of the surcharge using Social Security Form SSA-44. Roth Conversions Can Affect Medicare Premiums IRMAA can also become an important consideration when planning Roth conversions. Suppose you retire before age 65 and decide to convert a significant amount of traditional IRA money to a Roth IRA. The conversion increases your taxable income for that year. Because Medicare looks back at previous tax returns when determining IRMAA, a large Roth conversion in the years immediately preceding Medicare enrollment could lead to higher Part B and Part D premiums later. That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't complete the conversion. It simply means you should include the potential Medicare impact in the calculation. Tax planning, retirement planning, and Medicare planning are often interconnected. A decision that makes sense in one area can create consequences in another. Be Careful With HSA Contributions Health Savings Accounts require special attention as you approach Medicare eligibility. Once you are enrolled in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA. If you enroll around age 65, you need to coordinate the end of your HSA contributions with the beginning of your Medicare coverage. The issue becomes even more important for those who enroll after age 65 because Medicare Part A coverage can sometimes be applied retroactively, potentially affecting HSA eligibility for previous months. Holland recommends understanding the retroactive period before enrolling so you don't inadvertently make excess HSA contributions. Social Security can complicate matters further. If you begin receiving Social Security benefits, you may automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A. Anyone who is still contributing to an HSA should account for that before applying for Social Security. The good news is that money already accumulated in an HSA remains tax-advantaged and can still be used for many qualified medical expenses in retirement, including certain Medicare premiums. Holland notes, however, that HSA funds cannot be used tax-free to pay Medigap premiums. What If One Spouse Reaches Medicare Age First? Married couples can face another challenge when one spouse becomes eligible for Medicare while the other is still several years away. If the older spouse continues working, the employer plan may continue covering both spouses. Some companies also provide retiree benefits that extend coverage to a younger spouse after the older spouse retires. If employer coverage isn't available, COBRA may provide temporary coverage, although it can be expensive. Another possibility is purchasing insurance through the federal or state health insurance marketplace, where the younger spouse may qualify for premium subsidies depending on household circumstances. Whatever option you choose, don't overlook the cost. If one spouse retires several years before the other reaches Medicare eligibility, higher healthcare premiums may need to become a deliberate part of the retirement budget. Make Medicare Part of Your Larger Retirement Plan Medicare isn't simply a healthcare decision. It can affect your taxes, retirement income, Social Security strategy, HSA contributions, and monthly spending. That's why careful planning before age 65 can be so valuable. Understand what each part of Medicare covers. Know your enrollment windows. Talk with your employer before leaving workplace coverage. Consider the impact of your income on Medicare premiums. And coordinate decisions involving HSAs, Roth conversions, Social Security, and your spouse's health coverage. Medicare may be complicated, but you don't have to approach it blindly. Taking the time to understand your options can help you avoid costly mistakes, choose coverage that fits your circumstances, and steward the resources God has entrusted to you with greater wisdom and confidence.

DSCR loan for Airbnb: how to finance a short-term rental on the property's income instead of your tax returns. This investor's Airbnb cleared $4,200 a month, and the bank still said no.In this episode, Ryan breaks down how a DSCR loan finances a short-term rental when a conventional loan cannot. The bank qualifies you based on your tax returns, your debt-to-income ratio, and your W-2, so a smart investor who writes off heavily looks broke on paper and gets declined. A DSCR loan ignores all of that and qualifies on whether the property's rental income covers the payment.He covers the short-term-rental-specific mechanics most lenders never explain: how an appraiser values Airbnb income, the difference between the long-term 1007 rent schedule and actual short-term revenue, when a lender will use an AirDNA report or booking history, and the exact question to ask before you write the offer. He also walks through the realities of the down payment, reserves, and DSCR ratio for a short-term rental, including the seasonality trap that catches investors who only underwrite the peak season.The episode closes with the four steps to get approved for the property's income, even when your tax returns show you make nothing.The bank asks what you make. A DSCR loan asks what the property makes.

Dave is Head of Distribution Development at Black Horse, part of Lloyds Banking Group. He leads the team responsible for OEM partnership development, strategic growth initiatives and distribution development, helping bring new opportunities to life across the business. Before stepping into this role, he spent time leading the Jaguar Land Rover Financial Services team. He joined Lloyds from BMW Financial Services, where he spent twelve years moving through nine different roles.In our conversation we talk about Dave's upbringing in Keighley, West Yorkshire, as the oldest of three, raised by two police officers who met on the job. We explore his school years, and how genuine interest in a subject always brought out his best work, including moving schools to pursue his choice of A levels, and how it wasn't until university that he was diagnosed with dyslexia.We trace his path to Loughborough to study maths, two summers spent working Camp America, and on to a PhD at Nottingham. We discuss his rowing career, training alongside his now-wife Emily, who went on to compete at the London 2012 Olympics, and what it took to recognise when it was time to move on to the next chapter.We then move into his twelve years at BMW Financial Services, the early lessons in autonomy and communication that shaped his leadership style, and the move to the JLR Financial Services team and then a wider role within Lloyds Bank, including building a new Centre of Excellence from scratch. We finish with his leadership philosophy: setting a clear "why," trusting people to get on with it, and staying genuinely present with the people who matter, both at work and at home.Connect with DaveLinkedIn: Dave MarshallAbout AndyWe all carry more capability than we're consistently able to bring to what we do.

We spend a great deal of time evaluating the risks associated with making a change, but rarely consider the risks of staying exactly where we are. In this solo episode of Business, Finance and Soul, Shaun explores the hidden cost of indecision. Whether it involves a career, business, investment, employee, relationship, or personal goal, choosing not to act does not stop time or preserve the status quo. Inaction is still a choice, and it often comes with consequences that are difficult to see until months or years have passed. Shaun discusses why people often remain in familiar situations even when they know something is not working, how comfort can quietly become expensive, and why waiting for perfect information can prevent meaningful progress. This episode is not about making impulsive decisions or recklessly changing your life. It is about honestly evaluating both sides of a decision: the potential cost of acting and the potential cost of doing nothing. In This Episode Why indecision is still a decision The difference between patience and avoidance Why familiar situations can feel safer than they really are The invisible cost of keeping an underperforming employee How staying too long in the wrong career can limit growth Why holding cash is still an investment decision The compounding cost of comfort and procrastination Why perfect information is rarely available How to make progress without making a dramatic leap A simple five-year exercise for evaluating difficult decisions Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Indecision is still a decision 01:18 – Why we focus on the risks of change 02:47 – The question we often forget to ask 04:05 – The illusion of safety and certainty 05:47 – Patience versus avoidance 07:04 – The hidden cost of keeping the wrong employee 09:09 – How inaction affects teams and businesses 10:29 – Staying too long in an unfulfilling career 12:04 – Why not investing is still an investment decision 13:32 – Comfort has a price 15:02 – Waiting for perfect information 16:18 – Ask: "What happens if I don't?" 17:15 – The five-year test 18:16 – Progress does not require a dramatic leap 19:01 – Final challenge and closing thoughts Key Takeaway We often believe that avoiding a decision protects us from risk. But doing nothing does not eliminate risk—it simply creates a different kind of risk. Before delaying an important decision, ask yourself: What will this cost me if nothing changes for the next five years? Sometimes the greatest risk is not making the wrong move. It is remaining exactly where you are. www.CallTSG.com www.BusinessFinanceAndSoul.com

Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.” Every parent hopes the resources they leave behind will bless their children. But a financial inheritance can have very different effects depending on the person receiving it. That is why wise wealth transfer requires more than simply deciding how much to leave—it requires careful thought, prayer, and an understanding of each child's unique circumstances. Ron Blue, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and longtime teacher on biblical stewardship, calls this the uniqueness principle. Equal Love Doesn't Always Require Equal Treatment Studies show that many parents divide their estates equally among their children. There is certainly nothing wrong with that approach, but Ron encourages parents not to make equality the automatic default. As he explains, God loves each of His children equally, but He often treats them uniquely. The same can be true within a family. Children may grow up in the same home and sit around the same dinner table, yet adulthood can take them in very different directions. They may marry differently, parent differently, pursue different careers, experience job losses, accumulate different levels of wealth, or develop very different approaches to money. Those differences can matter when determining how an inheritance should be passed down. The question is not simply, “How can I divide everything evenly?” A better question may be, “How can I steward these resources in a way that truly benefits each child?” Three Questions to Ask Before Leaving an Inheritance When Ron and his wife, Judy, began thinking seriously about their own estate plan, they used three questions to evaluate what an inheritance might mean for each of their five children. 1. What is the worst thing that could happen? Imagine giving a particular amount of money to a particular child. How could that money negatively affect his or her life? For one child, the concern may be minimal. The money might simply be given away. For another, however, a large inheritance could create tension within a marriage, reinforce unhealthy financial habits, reduce motivation to work, or create other unintended consequences. 2. How serious would that outcome be? Not every negative possibility carries the same weight. Some may be inconvenient but manageable. Others could damage relationships, character, or financial stability. Parents should carefully consider the seriousness of each potential consequence. 3. How likely is it to happen? Finally, consider probability. A possible problem is different from a probable one. Together, these questions provide a framework for thinking beyond percentages and dollar amounts to the actual impact an inheritance could have. Your Estate Plan Should Change as Life Changes Another important part of the uniqueness principle is recognizing that circumstances rarely remain the same. When Ron and Judy first began asking these questions decades ago, their children were at very different stages of life than they are today. Careers changed. Marriages developed. Families grew. Financial circumstances shifted. As a result, Ron says the answers they would give today are very different from the answers they would have given 25 years ago. That is an important reminder: An estate plan should not necessarily be a one-time decision. As circumstances change, parents may need to revisit both their assumptions and their plans. Don't Pass Wealth Without Passing Wisdom Underlying Ron's approach is one of his most important principles: Don't pass wealth unless you pass wisdom. Wealth does not automatically produce wisdom. In fact, money can magnify whatever attitudes and habits already exist. Wisdom, however, can help someone steward wealth faithfully—and even create additional resources through diligence, generosity, patience, and wise decision-making. That means preparing the next generation involves far more than preparing legal documents. Parents can begin transferring wisdom long before they transfer wealth by talking openly about stewardship, generosity, work, contentment, financial decision-making, and God's ownership of everything. The greatest inheritance may not be the money children eventually receive, but the biblical principles they learned while their parents were still living. Faithfulness Matters More Than Fairness The uniqueness principle does not mean every estate should be divided differently. After thoughtful consideration, parents may still conclude that an equal distribution is the wisest choice. The point is not that equal is wrong or unequal is better. The point is to avoid allowing cultural expectations, guilt, fear of conflict, or simple habit to make the decision for you. Instead, approach wealth transfer prayerfully and deliberately. Ask what each child's circumstances are. Consider what opportunities or challenges an inheritance might create. Think carefully about the consequences. Revisit those decisions as life changes. Ultimately, wealth transfer is an act of stewardship. The resources we leave behind still belong to God, and our responsibility is to manage them according to His wisdom rather than merely following human expectations. Before asking, “How can I make everything equal?” consider asking a deeper question: “What would faithfulness look like for each person God has entrusted to my care?” On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60, own two rental properties outright, rent an apartment in Chicago for $2,100 a month, and have about $1.4 million in savings and investments. My rental income is seasonal, but I haven't had to draw from my portfolio yet. Is continuing to rent in Chicago financially reasonable, and is $1.4 million likely enough to support me long term? My wife and I are buying a new home and have about 60% of the purchase price in cash. We need the remaining 40% for only 60 to 90 days until our current paid-off home sells. Would a HELOC, bridge loan, or another short-term financing option make the most sense? Our 22-year-old daughter lives at home and has very few expenses or responsibilities. Would it be biblical and wise to start charging her rent, and how should we determine a fair amount?

In Episode 54 of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid examine how clean energy is becoming increasingly connected to national security, grid resilience and government policy. They discuss Michigan's new statewide permitting process, which could overcome local zoning barriers and accelerate utility-scale solar development. They also explore Westinghouse's proposed nuclear microreactor at Fort Drum and its potential to strengthen military energy resilience. The conversation then turns to the national-security risks associated with foreign-made solar and storage equipment, including inverters, batteries and control software. Finally, Benoy and David examine California's record renewable-energy curtailment and why additional storage, transmission and grid modernization are essential to avoid wasting clean electricity.   Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.
