"Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gains understanding, for her profit is better than silver, and her gain surpasses gold." - Proverbs 3:13-14Making wise financial decisions early in life can set the stage for long-term stability and generosity. But where should students and young professionals begin? Today, Bob Doll joins us to share practical financial advice to help young adults start their careers on the right foot.Bob Doll is the CEO and CIO of Crossmark Global Investments. He regularly contributes to Faith and Finance and other media outlets, such as Bloomberg TV, Fox Business, and CNBC. Building a Life of Faithful Stewardship from the StartFinances can feel overwhelming for students and young adults stepping into the world of work—budgets, debt, investing, generosity…where do you even begin? Yet these early years are some of the most formative when it comes to your long-term financial health and spiritual growth. That's why it's critical to lay a foundation not just of financial literacy but of biblical stewardship. Here are some timeless pieces of practical wisdom for young adults who want to honor God with their money from the beginning.1. Begin With a Plan—And a BudgetWithout a clear plan for spending, saving, and giving, it's easy to drift into debt or financial anxiety. A solid budget helps you take control of your finances before they start controlling you.And you don't have to do it alone. Tools like the FaithFi app make creating an intentional, faith-filled budget easy. It's not just about numbers—it's about aligning your finances with your values.2. Save for Emergencies—And Stay Out of DebtAfter budgeting, build an emergency fund with three to six months of expenses. Life is unpredictable, and this cushion can keep you from turning to debt when the unexpected hits.Also, make sure to pay off your cards in full each month and chip away at any student loans as quickly as you can.3. Learn from Others—and Find a MentorThere's no substitute for wise counsel. Watch those who are succeeding with money—and those who aren't. Learn from both.Having a mentor or a financial advisor who shares your values is essential. Surrounding yourself with godly counsel can help you avoid pitfalls like overspending or failing to save.4. Give Generously—Even When It's HardStart giving now. Like Randy Alcorn says, “God prospers us not to raise our standard of living, but our standard of giving.” Even when budgets are tight, generosity opens your heart and reminds you that God is the true provider.5. Start Investing Early—and ConsistentlyCompound interest is a powerful force—either for or against you. The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to grow. Even small, consistent contributions—what financial experts call “dollar-cost averaging”—can make a huge impact over time.Start with low-cost index funds or retirement accounts like a Roth IRA. And don't overlook your workplace benefits. If your employer offers a match, take it. That's free money.6. Align Your Investments with Your FaithToday's investors have more opportunities than ever to make faith-based investment choices. As the movement toward values-based investing grows, believers can increasingly steward their portfolios in ways that reflect biblical principles.7. Embrace Rhythms and Celebrate MilestonesThe journey to financial stability can feel long, especially when progress is slow. That's why we suggest setting milestones and celebrating small wins. God wants us to enjoy things. We're not meant to live like monks but are called to be wise.These rhythms of budgeting, saving, investing, and giving aren't just habits—they're acts of worship.8. Talk About Money—Especially in MarriageMoney fights are one of the top reasons for marital conflict. Get on your knees in prayer and ask the Lord to guide you both. Set goals as a couple and revisit them often.Being on the same page financially brings unity and builds trust. It's also a way of inviting God into your relationship in a very practical, day-to-day way.9. Grow in Wisdom—And Keep LearningStaying in God's Word and learning from wise voices is crucial. Some books that we recommend to help you discern what the Bible really says about wealth and generosity are:Money, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More by Randy Alcorn The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy AlcornStart StrongTo the student, recent graduate, or young couple just starting out: the best time to build wise financial habits is now. Begin with a plan. Learn from mentors. Avoid debt. Save for emergencies. Give generously. Invest consistently. Talk honestly. And let Scripture shape how you think about money.After all, financial wisdom isn't just about building wealth—it's about building a life that reflects the heart of God.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 70 years old and have $112,000 in my checking account. I'm about to retire and unsure what to do with this money. Should I pay off my $110,000 mortgage or use the funds for home repairs and a new car?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineCrossmark Global InvestmentsMoney, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More by Randy AlcornThe Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy AlcornWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)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.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… “ -   Matthew 6:19-20Would you like to rethink your approach to money? Six powerful principles can shift your focus from the temporal to the eternal…and best-selling author Randy Alcorn is here to talk you through them.Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM) and the New York Times Bestselling author of more than 60 books, including Heaven, Money, Possessions, and Eternity, The Treasure Principle, and Giving Is the Good Life. His books have been translated into over seventy languages and have sold over ten million copies.The Foundation: God Owns EverythingWhen we take our cues from the world, it's easy to develop a flawed perspective on money. But Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That transformation begins with the first principle:God owns everything, and I am His money manager.This truth alone can radically change how we view our finances. If everything belongs to God, then we are simply stewards of His resources. Just like a financial manager oversees someone else's wealth, we must ask God what He wants us to do with what He has entrusted to us. Thankfully, He has provided clear guidance in His Word.Imagine borrowing a pencil from someone and then breaking it in half. If the pencil belonged to you, that wouldn't be a big deal. But if it belonged to someone else, breaking it without permission would be wrong. The same is true with money—when we recognize that all we have belongs to God, it changes how we use it.Our Hearts Follow Our MoneyThe second principle in The Treasure Principle is equally profound:Our heart always goes where we put God's money.This truth comes directly from Matthew 6:21: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Many people believe that their giving will naturally follow their heart's desires. But Jesus turns that idea upside down: If we want to cultivate a heart for God's kingdom, we need to start by investing in it.Want to develop a deeper love for missions? Start giving to missionaries. Want to care more about your church? Invest financially in its ministry. Our hearts follow our treasure.Cultivating an Eternal PerspectiveAnother key principle is:Heaven (On Earth) is our home.Hebrews 11:16 tells us that believers are “citizens of a better country, a heavenly one.” Recognizing that this version of the world is not our final destination changes how we use our money. Instead of accumulating wealth here, Jesus calls us to store up treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20).But what does that mean? It doesn't mean stockpiling gold and silver in some celestial bank. Instead, our eternal treasures come from investing in God's work—supporting ministries, spreading the gospel, and using our resources to help those in need. The money we use today to advance God's kingdom will have eternal significance.Faithful stewardship isn't about earning salvation—it's about responding to God's generosity by using our resources wisely and storing up treasures that will last for eternity.Prosperity with a PurposeFinally, The Treasure Principle reminds us that:God prospers us not to raise our standard of living but to raise our standard of giving.It's easy to assume that when God blesses us financially, it's simply for our own benefit. But Scripture calls us to a different mindset. Like a delivery driver who is entrusted with a package to deliver—not to keep—God blesses us so that we can bless others.This doesn't mean we can't enjoy God's blessings, but it does mean that we should view our financial increase as an opportunity to be more generous, not just to accumulate more for ourselves.At the heart of The Treasure Principle is a simple but profound challenge: to see God as our ultimate treasure and money as a tool for His purposes. When we grasp this, it changes everything—how we spend, save, and give.If you haven't read The Treasure Principle, we highly encourage you to pick up a copy. It's a quick read but has the power to reshape your financial perspective for eternity.Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineRandy's full article, Understanding the Treasure Principle, is featured in the first issue of Faithful Steward, FaithFi's new quarterly magazine.

Do you have any advice for how she can make a budget and share it with her spouse so that his eyes might be open to the importance of financial stewardship?Should we tithe on money that we receive from an insurance payout?I have a 401(k) here at work. I'm 67 years old, and I'd like to withdraw money to purchase a car for $25,000 versus taking out a loan and paying interest. Is that something I'm allowed to do, or do I have to talk to the plan administrator? Is it up to the administrator, or is it legal for me to do that?Should my daughter put her maturing CDs into a high-yield money market account instead of rolling them over so the money is more accessible if she needs to buy a car?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineMoney, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More by Randy AlcornThe Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy AlcornThe Law of Rewards: Giving What You Can't Keep to Gain What You Can't Lose by Randy AlcornWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)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.

Proverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children…” But while the Bible emphasizes the importance of leaving an inheritance, it doesn't provide a step-by-step guide. That's where careful planning and biblical wisdom come into play. Here are some principles to help you make wise decisions about your estate—particularly when it comes to real estate—and avoid unintended conflicts among your heirs.The Common Approach: Equal DivisionOne of the most common phrases in wills is, “My estate will be divided equally among my children.” This approach seems fair and straightforward, especially when the estate consists entirely of financial assets. However, complications arise when property, such as a home or vacation property, is included.When real estate is left to multiple heirs, they face tough decisions:Joint ownership: Should they retain the property together, splitting the responsibilities and costs?Sell and split proceeds: Should they sell the property and divide the cash?Buy out: Should one or more heirs buy out the others to take full ownership?These decisions can quickly lead to financial and emotional challenges without clear guidance.The Hidden Challenges of Inheriting PropertyLeaving property to multiple heirs often creates unexpected burdens, both financial and emotional.Properties come with ongoing expenses, including:Maintenance costsProperty taxesInsurance premiumsHomeowners association feesWho makes decisions about upkeep? How are expenses divided? And what happens if one heir can't—or won't—pay their share? These issues can turn a blessing into a burden.Emotions can also complicate property decisions, especially when tied to childhood memories. Disagreements over minor details—like paint colors or furniture placement—can spiral into larger conflicts. Long-buried resentments may resurface, particularly if one sibling is named executor and perceived as having undue authority.Practical Solutions to Prevent ConflictTo avoid these challenges, consider these strategies:Treat Property Like Any Other AssetMany estate experts recommend stipulating in your will that all property is to be sold, with proceeds divided among heirs. This approach provides clarity and avoids forcing heirs into joint ownership.Allow for FlexibilitySome heirs may wish to “buy out” the others to retain the property. By structuring your will thoughtfully, you can provide this option while ensuring a fair division of the estate.Consider Unique NeedsRon Blue, author of Splitting Heirs, suggests that “if you love your children equally, you will treat them uniquely.” Equal division may not always be the wisest choice. Consider factors like financial need and money management skills when planning your estate.The key to preventing conflict lies in communication. Discuss your estate plans openly with your family so they understand your decisions and the reasoning behind them. This transparency eliminates surprises and fosters unity among your heirs.Seek Professional GuidanceCreating or updating a will is a critical step that requires professional expertise. Work with an estate attorney who shares your Christian worldview to ensure your wishes align with biblical values.

Larry Burkett once said, “The one principle that surrounds everything else is that of stewardship; that we are the managers of everything that God has given us.” These words remind us that stewardship is not just about money or tithing—it's about faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to us.As believers, we're called to be stewards because God created and owns everything. Our role is to manage His resources wisely for His purposes. But how can we know if we're fulfilling this calling? To guide our journey of faithfulness, let's explore the seven marks of a good steward.1. Acknowledging God's OwnershipGood stewards recognize that everything belongs to God, including their resources, skills, and abilities. They understand they're temporary managers entrusted with God's gifts for His purposes.Scripture to Reflect On: “You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.” (Deuteronomy 8:18)2. Understanding Their MissionGood stewards grasp the significance of their role in God's plan. They take their responsibilities seriously but approach them with humility, knowing they're part of something greater than themselves.Scripture to Reflect On: “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” (Proverbs 16:3)3. Faithfulness in ActionFaithfulness is at the heart of stewardship. This includes following God's financial principles: earning, saving, investing, and, most importantly, giving. Faithful stewards persevere, trusting that God will honor their obedience.Scripture to Reflect On: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” (Luke 16:10)4. TrustworthinessGood stewards are honest and trustworthy in all they do. Integrity builds a foundation for effective stewardship, honoring God, and earning the trust of others.Scripture to Reflect On: “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)5. Diligence in Their WorkStewards are diligent, actively using what God has given them rather than neglecting or mismanaging it. They commit to working as if serving the Lord in all they do.Scripture to Reflect On: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” (Colossians 3:23)6. Prayerful DependenceGood stewards seek God's guidance through prayer, trusting in His wisdom and provision. Prayer frees them from anxiety and anchors them in God's peace.Scripture to Reflect On: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6)7. Spirit-Led ActionFinally, good stewards act when the Holy Spirit leads, preparing their minds and hearts for action and living in obedience to God's will.Scripture to Reflect On: “Preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you.” (1 Peter 1:13)Dependence on God's GraceThese seven characteristics set a high standard, reminding us that stewardship is more about faithfulness than perfection. We can't meet these marks in our own strength. Instead, we depend on God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in obedience.Let's commit to being faithful stewards, trusting that God will equip us for the journey. As 1 Corinthians 4:2 reminds us, “Those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” May we glorify God in all we do, managing His gifts with care and purpose.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm getting ready to start receiving payments from my annuity. I want to give from the annuity, but I would like to know if I would get tax benefits from taking that money out of my annuity and paying it directly to a charity.I'm charged a rider charge on monthly withdrawals from an indexed annuity. Is there any way to avoid that? I have seven more years because it's a 10-year annuity.My daughter and son-in-law have $35,000 in debt, primarily for home repairs and a vehicle.

Is there anything else they can do besides this refinance?I'm 74 and still working full-time. My 401(k) has about $500,000 in it, plus a company-funded pension.

At this stage in her life, how should she invest the money? Should she consider putting some of it into an annuity? I'd like her to have easy access to it.I was raised in a wealthy home, so I never learned proper financial principles. Now, I want to learn how to be financially responsible and properly steward God's provision in my family and business. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get started?I am 52 and retired, and my wife is 62 and retired. We're doing well, but more is always better.

Jess Fenton shares her experiences and reflections from a 40-day water fast. She discusses the mental challenges faced during the fast, the importance of certainty in achieving goals, and the subtle miracles that occurred throughout the process. Jess also explores the physical healing aspects of fasting, the significance of nourishment and self-care, and spiritual insights gained during the experience. Additionally, she emphasizes the importance of financial stewardship and delayed gratification, as well as the discipline required during the refeeding phase. Ultimately, Jess presents manifestation as a journey towards wholeness and authenticity. Takeaways The first three days of the fast were incredibly challenging mentally. Certainty played a crucial role in completing the fast. Manifestation is easier when there is no split in consciousness. Fasting can lead to physical healing and body awareness. Self-care and nourishment become more important after fasting. Letting go of the past is essential for moving forward. Financial stewardship involves paying yourself first. Refeeding after a fast requires discipline and care. Manifestation is about returning to wholeness and authenticity. Fasting reveals areas where we may be out of authenticity.

In this enlightening discussion, we're reminded of the profound connection between our finances and our faith. The story of Joseph in Genesis serves as a powerful illustration of how God can turn even our most challenging circumstances into opportunities for growth and blessing. Just as Joseph's brothers meant harm, but God used it for good, we too can trust that our financial setbacks or struggles might be preparing us for a greater purpose. This conversation challenges us to view our money management not just as a practical skill, but as a spiritual discipline. By aligning our financial decisions with God's wisdom, we're not only stewarding our resources well, but we're also positioning ourselves to be more generous and impactful in God's kingdom. Let's reflect on how we can approach our finances with both faith and wisdom, trusting that God can use our obedience in this area to bless others and further His plans. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?
