Over the coming decades, women will steward a majority of the wealth being passed from one generation to the next. For many, that responsibility will arrive suddenly—during seasons of grief, transition, or new beginnings. Yet within that shift lies a remarkable opportunity for wise and faithful stewardship. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and cofounder of Women Doing Well, joins us on today's show to share what she has learned after spending years studying this moment and walking alongside women as they step into it. A Quiet but Significant Shift Today, research consistently shows that women are inheriting a large portion of generational wealth. One primary reason is longevity—women often outlive their spouses by several years, placing financial responsibility squarely on their shoulders. In fact, nearly 95% of women will become the primary financial decision-maker at some point in their lives. Many step into that role unexpectedly, often while navigating grief, life transitions, or new responsibilities. The result is a profound shift happening quietly across generations—one with real implications for confidence, stewardship, and generosity. When Women Doing Well surveyed more than 7,300 Christian women—the largest study of its kind—one insight stood out: only about 6% felt confident or equipped to manage the resources God had entrusted to them. The issue wasn't a lack of desire. It was a lack of clarity, confidence, and inclusion in financial conversations. Many women had the responsibility, but not the preparation. That gap can feel overwhelming, especially when decisions arrive suddenly. Generosity Is Already There One of the most encouraging discoveries from the research was this: Christian women are already remarkably generous. They give more of their time and money than many of their peers. The desire to live generously is not something that needs to be created—it's already present. What many women want isn't simply to give more, but to give well. The opportunity is to help generosity grow from clarity and confidence rather than from fear or obligation. A strong correlation emerged between biblical understanding and generosity. The more women understood stewardship—recognizing God as the Owner and themselves as managers—the more purpose-driven their giving became. Discipleship shifts generosity from pressure to purpose. It reminds us that giving is not a test to pass, but a response to God's grace. From Overwhelm to Clarity: A Real Story One woman, whom we'll call Clara, had always given generously. But after inheriting a significant sum of money, she felt pulled in every direction—“a dab here, a little there,” without a sense of impact. Through a process of discernment and clarity, she began narrowing her giving while increasing her investment in areas aligned with her calling. Her response captured the transformation: “You've given me the freedom to say no so I can say a better yes.” Clarity didn't reduce her generosity—it deepened it. For many women, financial responsibility begins in the midst of grief. In those moments, wisdom matters. One helpful principle, often shared by trusted mentors, is this: avoid making drastic financial changes during the first year after a major loss. Decisions will need to be made, but there's rarely a need to rush. It's also vital to seek wise counsel. A trusted advisor who understands both financial realities and biblical stewardship can provide guidance, and bringing along a trusted friend or family member can offer needed perspective and emotional support. Finding Purpose Before Decisions Financial clarity often begins with personal clarity. Understanding how God has uniquely wired you—your experiences, passions, and calling—can shape how you steward resources. Many women find their generosity aligned with their life story: adoption, education, justice, poverty relief, or ministry areas where God has already been at work. Stewardship becomes more meaningful when it flows from identity and calling rather than obligation. When women gain clarity and confidence, measurable outcomes follow. Research shows that many increase both their financial giving and the time they invest in serving others. More importantly, they report greater peace, confidence, and joy. Generosity becomes a whole-life response—expressed through money, time, skills, and relationships. Generosity Without Pressure Growing in generosity doesn't mean saying yes to everything. True generosity flows from identity in Christ, not guilt or pressure. When fear or obligation drives a decision, it can be a signal to pause and pray. God is at work in many lives, raising up different stewards for different purposes. Saying no in one place often allows for a more faithful yes elsewhere. For advisors serving women in transition, relationship matters as much as expertise. Listening before leading, offering small and practical next steps, and creating an environment that feels relational—not transactional—can make all the difference. Guidance that is clear, manageable, and compassionate helps women move forward with confidence. A Word to Women Stepping Into This Role If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, know this: you are not alone. Financial wisdom grows one step at a time. God has already been at work in your life, and the resources entrusted to you have purpose. Confidence develops through learning, community, and small acts of obedience. Stewardship is not a burden to carry alone—it can become an adventure of discovering how God wants to work through you. Some women have even formed giving circles, combining resources and discernment to support causes together. What began as uncertainty became what they now call “the adventure of giving.” If you're navigating this transition or preparing for it, consider seeking guidance and community. Learn more about the work of Women Doing Well and resources for growing in clarity and confidence. You can also connect with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who can provide biblically grounded financial counsel. The shift is already happening. And with it comes a profound opportunity—not just to manage wealth, but to steward it faithfully for God's purposes. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: As I prepare to buy a $400,000–$450,000 home—planning to put about 50% down and use a 15-year mortgage—what key questions should I ask lenders to secure the best rate and terms?

The current firm would charge about $1,000 in account-closure fees, but has offered to lower our management fee if we stay. Should we follow our advisor to his new firm or remain where we are, especially given the fees and our desire for biblically aligned investing?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) and Luke Farrell examine the structural "technical imagination" gap that prevents the US government from delivering high-fidelity digital services. They discuss why states routinely pay full price 29 times for the same buggy codebase, why failure is the default outcome, and why rooms full of government administrators cannot muster the expertise to say a two line code change should be trivial. They also discuss Luke's work on the "means testing industrial complex,” why the government redundantly pays a private vendor to do a SQL query for information the IRS already knows, and what vendors would say about their own discontents.–Full transcript available here: http://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/understanding-government-procurement-with-luke-farrell/–Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & FramerIf you have more interesting hobbies than managing your money, Mercury Personal is built for you.

For many girls in Uganda, one opportunity can alter the course of their entire future—and that opportunity often begins with education. Around the world, poverty creates barriers that shape a child's path long before adulthood. But through the work of ministries and local partners, those stories are being rewritten with hope, dignity, and the love of Christ. Aaron Griggs joins the show today to share how Cross International is helping young women stay in school, discover their God-given purpose, and step into a future that once felt out of reach. The Mission: Serving the Most Vulnerable Cross International exists to serve some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable children and families for the glory of God. Rather than operating independently, the ministry works through trusted local churches and organizations across Africa and other regions—partners who understand the communities, relationships, and long-term needs on the ground. This approach allows them to provide immediate help—such as food, clean water, and education—while also fostering sustainable, long-term change. Local leaders remain present long after programs begin, ensuring care that is relational, consistent, and rooted in the Gospel. The Everyday Realities of Poverty For many families in countries like Uganda, Malawi, and Zambia, daily challenges are not simply inconvenient—they are life-altering. A single meal may be the only food a child receives all day. Clean water often requires walking for hours to contaminated sources. Preventable diseases spread quickly due to limited medical care. Education is frequently out of reach because families cannot afford school fees. When children cannot attend school, their opportunities shrink dramatically. For girls in particular, the consequences are often more severe—and more permanent. Why Girls Are Especially Vulnerable When resources are scarce, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school. In some communities, families facing desperate financial strain may feel forced to arrange early marriages for daughters—sometimes as young as 11 or 12—simply to survive. This leads to a heartbreaking cycle: Education ends early Marriage and motherhood begin prematurely Economic opportunities disappear Poverty passes from one generation to the next Without intervention, the very pathway that could break the cycle—education—remains inaccessible. Local Partnership in Action: Project Princess Initiative One of Cross International's key ministry partners in Uganda is the Project Princess Initiative, based in Kampala. Together, they walk alongside vulnerable girls by: Helping them stay in school Providing mentorship and spiritual guidance Teaching practical career and life skills Building confidence rooted in their identity in Christ The goal is not only academic success but whole-person transformation—spiritual, emotional, practical, and relational. As many girls grow older, something remarkable happens: they begin mentoring others. The hope they received becomes the hope they give. Karen's Story: From Hopelessness to Purpose Karen, a young woman from Uganda, once faced a future filled with uncertainty. After her father abandoned the family, her education stopped. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and despair, she felt trapped and hopeless. Through Project Princess, everything changed. She returned to school. She encountered mentors who reminded her of her worth in Christ. She discovered a future she never thought possible. Karen eventually attended college and studied economics—an opportunity few girls from her background ever experience. Today, she mentors younger girls facing similar challenges and speaks passionately about the role of faith in her transformation. Her story reflects a powerful truth: when education, mentorship, and the Gospel intersect, lives change. Why Faith Matters in Education Cross International's work centers on more than academics. While education opens doors, true transformation begins in the heart. Their approach focuses on the whole person: Physical needs like food and clean water Emotional support through mentorship Practical training for future careers Spiritual formation through prayer and discipleship Education alone can inform the mind. The Gospel renews the heart and reshapes identity. Together, they empower girls to become who God created them to be. How You Can Get Involved Scripture calls believers to care for the vulnerable. Psalm 82:3 urges us to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” For many, generosity becomes a practical way to live out that calling. Through partnerships like this: Food reaches children who would otherwise go hungry Education keeps girls in school Mentorship restores dignity and hope The message of Christ transforms lives A relatively small gift can create a lasting impact—helping a child receive education, care, and spiritual support for an entire year. Through FaithFi's partnership with Cross International, every $62 helps provide a vulnerable child with a year of support—including education, nutritious food, mentorship, and the hope of the Gospel. Larger gifts can extend that impact to multiple children and families. To learn more or make a one-time gift, visit FaithFi.com/Cross. As you steward the resources God has entrusted to you, this is a tangible way to defend the vulnerable, uplift the oppressed, and invest in futures filled with hope. One opportunity can change a life. Your involvement can help make that opportunity possible. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: We're expecting a car accident settlement this year. Will it be taxable, and do we report it as income? After medical bills and attorney fees, how should we think about tithing on what remains? Our estate is set up in a trust, and we have two adult sons who don't get along. Should we name just one as trustee and power of attorney, or appoint them both? I have $24,000 in credit card debt. A debt management plan would lower my interest rates, but the payments are more than I can afford. If I withdraw $6,000 from my Roth IRA—I'm over 59—to reduce the balance and lower the payment, would that be wise?

What if our biggest edge in an AI world isn't more data—but better learning? In this episode of 2050 Investors, host Kokou Agbo-Bloua pits biological intelligence (BI) against its artificial counterpart (AI). Creativity and synapses on one side; scale, speed, and 24/7 recall on the other. We discover why deep learning happens in alpha, not frenetic beta; why a 20 watt human brain still outperforms giant models on imagination; and what centaur-style teaming (humans + machines) means for faster search, synthesis, and simulation. Later, guest Dr. Barbara Oakley, Professor of Engineering at Oakland University and a scholar on how people acquire expertise, shares pragmatic protocols for busy professionals to build “chunks” of expertise that hold up under market stress; the dangers of fully offloading cognition to AI (and how to protect internal knowledge and critical thinking), and why embracing discomfort is the price of neural rewiring and real growth. Unpack this episode for a science-backed career playbook to stay ahead in 2026.CreditsPresenter & Writer: Kokou Agbo-Bloua.

Host Matt Volke is joined by Philip Rainsberger and Mark Shoesmith of Hitachi Solutions to discuss how organizations are approaching Microsoft Fabric today—what's driving adoption, where teams get stuck, and how to move from exploration to execution with confidence.Highlights:FABCON is where Microsoft Fabric conversations become practical—shifting from “what's possible” to “how do we implement and scale this responsibly?”Successful Fabric initiatives start with the business problem, not the technology, ensuring data and AI investments are tied to real outcomes.Hitachi Solutions' “thin slice” approach delivers production-ready wins early, avoiding proof-of-concept efforts that never make it to value.Common Fabric adoption paths include migrations from on‑prem SQL Server, SSIS, and Synapse Analytics into a unified Fabric architecture.Fabric is increasingly the analytics and AI foundation for Dynamics 365 customers, supporting both Finance & Operations and Customer Engagement workloads.FABCON attendees are encouraged to come prepared with their current data landscape, top Fabric goals, and key blockers to make booth conversations immediately actionable.global.hitachi-solutions.com

Money talk on a parenting podcast? Yes — because financial stress shows up in our relationships with our teens whether we acknowledge it or not. In this episode I sit down with financial planner Lori Atwood to explore why so many of us avoid looking at our finances, how that avoidance leaks into our parenting, and what we can actually do about it.

What can HR learn from private equity, where talent, culture, and leadership are part of the deal thesis from day one? In many organisations, the connection between people strategy and business outcomes is still taking shape.

So, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green speaks with Angela Geffre, Head of Human Capital at GrowthCurve Capital, to discuss what this looks like on the ground. Together, they explore what it really means to run HR in a private equity environment, and what the broader HR profession can learn from it.

Trusting God for our financial needs feels especially real when life gets tight. When savings shrink, markets fluctuate, or expenses rise faster than income, the pressure exposes what—or who—we truly rely on. Long before budgets, retirement accounts, or emergency funds existed, one man stood on a mountain believing God could provide in the most impossible circumstances. His story in Genesis 22 gives us one of the most powerful names of God in all of Scripture: “The Lord Will Provide.” And it offers a blueprint for faithful stewardship today. Provision Is Forged in Pressure Trusting God's provision rarely happens in comfort. It's forged in seasons when resources feel thin, and the future looks uncertain. Throughout Scripture, God's people learn His faithfulness not at banquets, but in deserts. Not in surplus, but in scarcity. Whether wandering in the wilderness, facing famine, or standing before overwhelming odds, they discover that provision isn't merely about resources—it's about relationship. God is not simply someone who provides. He is the Provider. But biblical faith isn't naïve optimism, nor is it passive resignation. Faith rests in God's character, moves forward in obedience, and trusts Him with the outcome. Abraham on the Mountain Genesis 22 is one of the clearest pictures of this kind of faith. God asks Abraham to offer Isaac, his son of promise. It's a shocking command, and we're meant to feel its weight. Isaac is the one through whom God promised to build a nation “as numerous as the stars.” Without Isaac, the covenant appears to collapse. Yet Abraham obeys. Before climbing the mountain, he tells his servants, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there and worship; then we will come back to you” (Genesis 22:5). Notice what he says: we will come back. The author of Hebrews explains Abraham's reasoning: “He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead” (Hebrews 11:19). Abraham trusted that God's promise was more certain than the circumstances he could see. And when Abraham raised the knife, God intervened—not before the climb, not halfway up the mountain, but at the exact moment when obedience and trust met. A ram was provided in Isaac's place. It's there Abraham names the place: “The Lord will provide” (Genesis 22:14). What “The Lord Will Provide” Really Means To say God provides isn't to say He always provides in the way we expect. It means His character is generous, attentive, and faithful. He knows our needs before we ask. He meets them according to His wisdom—not our timeline. That shifts how we think about financial provision. Scripture commends diligence. “The hand of the diligent makes rich” (Proverbs 10:4). It warns against laziness. But diligence and provision are not the same thing. We work. God provides the harvest. Modern financial fear often comes from trying to secure every possible outcome. We want guarantees. We want certainty. We want control. But the great enemy of faith isn't need—it's self-reliance. When we believe we are our own providers, we shoulder a burden we were never designed to carry. The apostle Paul writes, “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Notice the scale and the source: According to His riches, not ours. Three Ways Trust Changes Our Stewardship When we truly believe God provides, three things begin to shift. 1. We Plan Without Panic Wisdom plans for the future. Scripture affirms preparation and foresight. But planning becomes idolatry when it tries to eliminate dependence. Trust allows us to budget, save, and invest without fear driving every decision. Our spreadsheets serve us—they don't rule us. 2. We Give Without Fear Generosity flows from security. If we believe God replenishes, we can release. Hudson Taylor famously said, “God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.” When God is our provider, generosity becomes an act of confidence, not recklessness. 3. We Endure Lean Seasons With Hope Scarcity is not wasted space in the life of faith. Lean seasons refine us. They remind us that our ultimate security rests not in accounts, assets, or accolades—but in the Lord who sees. Abraham learned something profound on that mountain—not just that God provides, but who God is. Provision in Scripture is relational. God provides so His people know Him more deeply and so the watching world sees His faithfulness. Faithful Stewardship Without Fear Trusting God's provision doesn't mean we stop budgeting, working, or stewarding wisely. It means we do those things without trying to control the narrative. Our responsibility is faithfulness. God's responsibility is provision. When life tightens and financial pressure mounts, Genesis 22 invites us to lift our eyes beyond the mountain in front of us and remember the name Abraham proclaimed: The Lord will provide. And He still does. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: How can I have a loving, respectful conversation with my parents—especially my dad—about whether they're truly ready for retirement and financially self-sufficient? Also, he started taking Social Security last year while still working. Should he reconsider delaying benefits, and what options does he have now? A nonprofit that owned a property has shut down, and I'd like to sell it and give the proceeds to a church. Are there special forms or steps I need to take to handle that transfer properly? I'm turning 60 and want to prepare wisely for retirement. I have a seven-figure balance across my 401(k) and investments. What should I focus on over the next several years—how much is enough, withdrawal planning, Social Security timing, and long-term care—so I won't become a burden on my kids? As I plan my estate, what does the Bible mean by leaving an inheritance to our children's children, and how should I think about what to leave my grandchildren?

AI Engineering is going global!One year ago today, Anthropic launched Claude Code, to not much fanfare:The word of mouth was incredibly strong however, and so we were glad to be one of the first podcasts to invite Boris and Cat on in early May:As we discussed on the pod, all CC usage was API-based and therefore it was ridiculously expensive to do anything. This was then fixed by the team including Claude Code in the Claude Pro plan in early June, and then the virality caused us to make a rare trend call in late June:Now, 6 months on, Doug has just calculated that around 4% of GitHub is written by Claude Code:We talk about how Doug uses Claude Code to do SemiAnalysis work.Memory ManiaIn the second part of this episode, we also check in on Memory Mania, which is going to affect you (yes, you) at home if it hasn't already:Full Episode on YouTubeTimestamps00:00 AI as Junior Analyst00:59 Meet Swyx and Doug03:30 From Value Mule to Semis06:28 Moore's Law Ends Thesis12:02 Claude Code Awakening32:02 Agent Swarms Reality Check32:53 Kimi Swarm Benchmarks37:31 Bots vs Zapier Automation39:44 Claude Code Workflow Setup57:54 AGI Metrics and GDP01:04:48 Railroad CapEx Analogy01:06:00 Funding Bubbles and Demand01:08:11 Agents Replace Work Tools01:13:56 Codex vs Claude Race01:21:15 Microsoft and TPU Strategy01:34:13 TPU Window vs Nvidia01:36:30 HBM Supply Chain Squeeze01:39:41 Memory Shock and CXL01:45:20 Context Rationing Future01:54:37 Writing and Trail LessonsTranscript[00:00:00] AI as Junior Analyst[00:00:00] Doug: This crap makes mistakes all the time. All the time. It is still just like a, like I think of it once again as like a junior analyst, right? The analyst goes and does all this like really pain in the ass information and you bring it all together to make a good decision at the top. Historically what happens is that junior analyst, who I once was, went and gathered all that information, and after doing this enough times, there's a meta level thinking that's happening where it's like, okay, here's what I really understand and how this type of analysis, I'm an expert in, actually I'm very good at, I consistently have a hit rate.[00:00:28] Now I'm the expert, right? I don't think that meta level learning is there yet. We'll see if l ones do it, right? Everyone who's spending one quadrillion dollars in the world thinks it will, it better, it better happen by if you're spending, you know, a trillion dollars and there's not meta level learning.[00:00:44] But for me, in our firm, that massively amplifies everyone who is an expert. ‘cause like you have to still do something that you can just like lop it up. It's very obvious to me. What It's slop.[00:00:59] Meet Swyx and Doug
Send a textThere are practices that look profitable on paper and still feel constantly on edge.Payroll clears, but just barely. Distributions feel risky. Hiring decisions get delayed. Big expenses create anxiety instead of confidence. And despite doing “well,” leadership always feels like they're waiting for the other shoe to drop.That feeling usually has nothing to do with profit.It has everything to do with cash flow.Cash flow tells the truth in a way no other financial statement does. Revenue tells you what you earned. Profit tells you what's left after expenses. But cash flow tells you whether you're actually safe—and what the next twelve months are likely to feel like.Today, we're talking about what your financials are saying about your future, why cash flow forecasting is one of the most underused leadership tools in medicine, and why having three forecasts—not one—is what separates confident practices from reactive ones.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!
