Plus, we discuss the steps to becoming an intentional millionaire through strategic real estate decisions, even if you're starting with no money or poor credit.

Losing a loved one is a time of profound grief and confusion, and the practical tasks that follow can feel overwhelming. Settling a loved one's estate requires careful attention and preparation. Let's walk through six financial steps to take during this challenging time, all underpinned by prayer and reliance on God's guidance.Begin with PrayerBefore addressing financial matters, take time to pray. Invite God into your decisions and ask for wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”Prayer offers clarity and comfort, helping you approach the estate settlement process with confidence and peace, knowing the Holy Spirit is interceding on your behalf (Romans 8:26).Step 1: Obtain the Death CertificateThe death certificate is a critical legal document you'll need to settle your loved one's affairs. It's usually prepared by the medical examiner and provided through the funeral home.You'll need multiple copies for various purposes, such as notifying financial institutions, filing taxes, and starting probate. If you don't receive the death certificate within a few weeks, contact the funeral home or your local vital records office.Step 2: Begin the Probate ProcessTake the death certificate and the will to your county probate office to file a petition to begin probate. As the executor, you can then carry out the deceased's wishes.If there's no will, the process becomes more complex. You'll still petition the court to begin probate and may request to be named administrator of the estate. However, the court will decide how the estate is distributed according to state law. For guidance, consider consulting a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA). Visit FaithFi.com and click “Find a Professional” to find a trusted advisor.Step 3: Notify Financial Institutions and AdvisorsInform the deceased's financial institutions, banks, and financial advisors of their passing. Advisors can help identify assets and ensure they're handled correctly.Check for accounts with Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payable on Death (POD) instructions. These accounts can often bypass probate, simplifying the process.Additionally, notify the three credit reporting agencies—Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. Provide the death certificate to close accounts and check for fraudulent activity.Step 4: Address Insurance PoliciesContact the deceased's life insurance company to begin the claims process and provide the death certificate and policy details.Also, cancel other unnecessary insurance policies, such as auto or disability insurance, to avoid ongoing payments for no longer required services.Step 5: Notify Government AgenciesEnsure the appropriate government agencies are informed of your loved one's passing. The funeral director often notifies Social Security but confirm that this has been done.Notify Medicare and, if applicable, the VA or other government programs. This step helps avoid complications and ensures benefits are properly adjusted.Step 6: File Final TaxesThe final step is filing the deceased's taxes, including any outstanding returns. This is often best handled by a professional, such as a CPA, to ensure compliance and accuracy.While these tasks may seem overwhelming, prayer and preparation can guide you through. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Lean on God's wisdom and the support of trusted professionals to navigate this season with grace and confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My able-bodied older sister has been relying on our family for financial support for the past 8 years, even though the work she chooses doesn't provide enough income. Should we continue supporting her, or is that not helping her in the long run?My wife and I will inherit an IRA from my mother-in-law. The IRA and a brokerage account contain over $300,000 in cash. However, the money market account yield has dropped from 5.3% to 4.5%. Where should we invest this cash with the stock market looking richly valued?I'm 70 and retired, and I need to get a new car. I currently owe $27,000 on my home. Should I pay off the remaining mortgage, which would increase my monthly payment, or should I get a car that would cost around $20,000, which would lower my monthly payment? I don't know where to get the money to do either.My 91-year-old dad has a $3,500-$4,000 monthly shortfall in his long-term care expenses and is down to his last $25,000. I'm considering a reverse mortgage for him, as this could allow him to stay in his home for another 2.5 years. What are your thoughts on the different types of reverse mortgages and whether this could be a good option for his situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationMovement MortgageNational Christian Foundation (NCF)Look 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) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

When the topic of generosity comes up in church, reactions can be mixed. Some tune out, assuming the message is about funding a project or filling a financial gap. But generosity is about much more than meeting needs—it's about the heart behind the act. Let's explore not only why we should give but also why we shouldn't and how to cultivate a heart for biblical generosity.Why We Shouldn't Give1. Guilt Shouldn't Be Your MotivationMany Christians have been influenced by guilt-driven messages, from legalism to the prosperity gospel. These teachings suggest that not giving enough equates to stealing from God or forfeiting His blessings. However, the Bible paints a different picture.In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul reminds us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Faithful giving stems from joy, not guilt or obligation.It's also crucial to distinguish between guilt and conviction. Guilt comes from the enemy and leads us away from Christ, while conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, drawing us closer to God. Hebrews 10:22 reassures us that, through Christ's sacrifice, we are freed from guilt. If guilt drives your giving, pause and prayerfully examine your heart.2. Giving to Control the ChurchSometimes, people give to influence church decisions, designating funds to specific ministries or withholding support to express disagreement with leadership. This approach can sow division and turn generosity into a transaction.Giving with strings attached undermines the act of worship and reflects a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to support His work, even when we don't agree with every decision.3. Seeking Self-Righteousness Through GivingGenerosity should not be a means to feel morally superior. In Luke 18:11-12, Jesus shares the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee flaunted his giving to showcase his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly sought God's mercy.Faithful giving is a response to God's grace, not a way to earn recognition or status. If pride motivates your generosity, it's time to reassess your heart.Principles for Generous GivingTo develop a heart of biblical generosity, consider these principles:1. Make Giving a PriorityProverbs 3:9 teaches, “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” Giving should come first—not as an afterthought or leftover.2. Embrace Sacrificial GivingIn 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” True generosity often requires sacrifice, mirroring Christ's sacrificial love for us.3. Give CheerfullyAs Paul emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Joyful giving reflects trust in God's provision and a desire to participate in His work.Reflect Before You GiveBefore giving, ask yourself:Am I giving out of gratitude, joy, and a desire to honor God?Or are guilt, control, or pride influencing my decision?God values the heart behind your generosity far more than the size of your gift. By giving with a spirit of gratitude and humility, you participate in advancing His Kingdom and glorifying Him through your stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've lived with a roommate for the past three years, and he has not had a job since March. I haven't been able to set any money aside or anything like that, with me covering those, and I wanted to know if you had any advice on what I should do if I should move out or otherwise.I have a son who's considering bankruptcy. He has more than just credit card debt, and I'm concerned about what filing bankruptcy will do to his credit and how long it would take him to recover. He's hoping to be able to buy a house soon.My friend told me about an IRA manager, and I am about to sign the contract. They charge 1.5%, and I want to know if that is normal. I'm about to sign a check for $8,000, and I just want more information about that. Also, can you tell me about an annuity? I don't know much about it.When my grandmother died, in her will, she left your house to me and my aunt pending her husband's death. Well, before her husband died, he ended up giving the property to somebody else, and because of that, my aunt and I were just left out. Is that legal? Can you confirm whether it's true that you must report interest gained to the federal government if you open a high-yielding savings account?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationBetterment | Schwab Intelligent PortfoliosLook 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) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Spurred on by a hugely intriguing article in The Athletic penned last November by Episode 274 guest Pablo Maurer (as well as another by Guardian soccer writer Jack Williams back in 2016), we delve into the fascinating story of the visionary, yet controversial 1990s American pro soccer league that never was - League 1 America - with its mastermind Jim Paglia.  Born in the wake of the 1989 awarding of the 1994 FIFA World Cup to the United States, League 1 America was an ambitious attempt to reimagine a post-Cup pro soccer league for an American audience that gravitated toward fast-paced, high-scoring sports like football and basketball. Paglia's vision centered on blending traditional soccer elements with entertainment-focused innovations and dedicated mall-like facilities, aiming to build a league that prioritized marketability and fan engagement above all else. The league's format featured radical rule changes, including shootouts to resolve ties, shortened match durations, and scoring modifications to encourage more goals and continuous action. Paglia also planned to lean heavily on corporate sponsorships, creating a business model that integrated entertainment and commercial viability, with aspirations of competing against America's major sports leagues for both fans and television audiences. Despite its innovative ideas, League 1 America never materialized. The league faced a skeptical sporting landscape, with the demise of the North American Soccer League in the mid-1980s still fresh in the public's memory and doubts about soccer's viability as a mainstream American sport. Financial hurdles, coupled with resistance from soccer traditionalists and a lack of institutional support, doomed the project before it could get off the ground. Critics dismissed Paglia's vision as an overly commercialized distortion of soccer's essence, while fans of the global game balked at the Americanized rule changes. Yet, the story of League 1 America remains a fascinating “what if” in the history of U.S. soccer. A number of its ideas - especially the building of experience-driven soccer-specific stadiums - can be seen in today's Major League Soccer.  Paglia's efforts highlighted both the challenges and opportunities of growing soccer in the U.S., underscoring the tension between preserving the sport's global traditions and adapting it to local tastes. Today, as soccer continues its steady rise in America, League 1 America serves as a reminder of the bold experimentation and resilience that helped lay the groundwork for the sport's future. + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Yinzylvania (20% off promo code: GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE): https://yinzylvania.com/GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE    FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Could cryptocurrency be the key to bridging financial gaps? Can it create a more inclusive global economy? Digital assets like stablecoins and blockchain technology are reshaping how we think about money. Their potential to level the financial playing field is becoming clearer. In today's episode of the Tearsheet podcast, I sit down with Lisa Nestor, Research Director at the Stanford Future of Digital Currency Initiative to discuss how fintech innovation is paving the way for broader financial inclusion. Lisa's expertise spans blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and fintech innovation. This makes her a leading voice in understanding the intersection of these fields. Lisa's career reflects a deep commitment to financial inclusion. “When I started researching Stellar,” Lisa shares. “It brought together what I had seen [and demonstrated] the power of providing open-source financial infrastructure.” This passion for creating accessible financial systems has guided her work. It also included her current research on stablecoins and digital dollar adoption. Lisa explains how cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and blockchain can make finance fairer. Her insights show how these innovations affect cross-border payments and financial inclusion. She also discusses their role in the evolving fintech landscape. The Big Ideas 1. Open financial infrastructure creates a global ledger accessible to all. “The idea is to create a ledger that every financial institution in the world can operate on but can't buy. It is open and available to everyone.” 2. Stablecoins provide financial security in unstable economies. “In emerging markets like Argentina, stablecoins offer a way to hedge inflation. They secure savings amidst economic instability.” 3. Tokenizing real-world assets improves liquidity and global accessibility. “Tokenizing existing assets brings improved liquidity and global accessibility to traditionally illiquid markets.” 4. Governments explore CBDCs to complement existing banking systems. “Central banks are focused on introducing CBDCs that complement. Rather than compete with, existing banking systems.” 5. Digital dollars empower individuals in the gig economy. “More individuals are earning in digital dollars through online work. This is creating new economic opportunities without physical migration.”

In the first half, financial expert and publisher of the Solari Report, Catherine Austin Fitts, discussed the current state of the financial world, and how we are in a period of significant upheaval, with increasing risks of our banking systems falling to central control. She pointed out the importance of small banks, arguing, "The more small banks you have, the more you can produce growth without inflation," and criticized the consolidation of the banking system, which has seen a decline from 15,000 banks to just over 4,000. On the topic of cryptocurrency, she voiced skepticism about its current trajectory, suggesting that Bitcoin has been "hijacked" for speculative purposes. "What could have been a really great global payment system" has turned into a tool for pump and dump schemes, she lamented."The government has been in serious violation of financial management laws for many years," she continued. Fitts expressed concern over the increasing control central banks are seeking through digital currencies: "If we go to an all-digital monetary system, we're looking at the ability for the central bankers to control it." She described this potential shift as a "financial coup," where fiscal policies could be manipulated without public representation. Financial freedom, the ability to transact without interference, would likely be compromised by a fully digital system that could lead to invasive surveillance and control over our personal finances, she further cautioned.----------------In the latter half, near-death experiencer Dannion Brinkley shared his profound near-death encounters and the insights he gained from them. He has survived multiple brushes with death, including being struck by lightning twice and enduring extensive surgeries. He recounted the lightning strikes that happened to him in the 1970s, revealing that both incidents occurred while he was on the phone during a storm. He described some of the mystical aspects of his near-death experiences (NDEs), including a painful "panoramic life review" where he felt the impact of his actions on others, saying, "I had to become every person that I'd ever encountered and feel the direct results of my interaction." Realizing he could do much better in his interactions, the NDE acted as a catalyst for significant personal transformations in his life.During his NDEs, he also received prophetic visions, some of which he believes will possibly play out in 2025, including solar flares. He also saw a "battle for the souls of humankind" in healthcare, emphasizing the need for compassion and closure for those nearing the end of life. "You take a breath when you come here, and you let a breath out when you leave," he remarked, highlighting the transient nature of life and the importance of learning from our experiences. Through his Twilight Brigade organization, Brinkley has been a hospice volunteer for 40 years, attending to hundreds of vets at the end of their lives.
