A birth plan can change without taking your power away. In this episode, I welcome Dominique and Kevin back into conversation to revisit the birth of their daughter, Nora—a story I had the privilege of supporting as their doula. Their journey was shaped by pregnancy after loss, an unexpected cholestasis diagnosis, an induction, and the steady support that helped them stay grounded when their original vision shifted.Dominique, a pelvic floor physical therapist, entered pregnancy with a strong understanding of the body and a hope for spontaneous, low-intervention labor. When cholestasis changed the plan, I supported Dominique and Kevin as they learned about their options, spoke with their care team, and revised their birth preferences without giving up their autonomy.Together, we talk about what an induction can actually look like, why the language we use during labor matters, and how Kevin approached his role as a birth partner with calm, reverence, and full attention. I also invited Dominique to share what becoming a parent taught her about postpartum recovery—even as someone who professionally supports pregnant and postpartum patients.In This Episode, We CoverHow two pregnancy losses shaped Dominique and Kevin's next pregnancy and care decisionsThe itching that led to Dominique's cholestasis diagnosis and a change in their birth planHow birth education helped them understand induction options and retain a sense of agencyUsing rest, movement, position changes, breath, and supportive language during laborThe moment Dominique moved from panic and self-doubt into pushingHow Kevin stayed present without taking over Dominique's decisionsWhy choosing pain medication—or changing your mind about it—is never a failureWhat Dominique's own postpartum recovery taught her about slowing down and listening to the bodyI hope you carry from this episode is that an empowered birth is not one in which every detail unfolds exactly as planned. It is one in which you feel informed, respected, supported, and able to participate in the decisions along the way. Flexibility and autonomy can exist together.Resources MentionedA Path to A Powerful Birth Class, more info atwww.clearlightbirth.com/classes FREE Birth Preferences/ Birth Plan Template: www.clearlightbirth.com/planIf your birth plan has changed—or you simply want to feel more prepared for the possibilities—I hope my conversation with Dominique and Kevin reminds you that you still have choices.

Maria Birdwell came to industrial packaging from media and advertising, with no B2B background and no allegiance to how the category has always sold itself. At Franklin Mountain Packaging, a corrugated manufacturer that started up in 2022, she markets a young company against multi-generational competitors by refusing to fight on age or even on machinery. Instead she lets customer requirements drive the conversation and, in a recent pivot she credits directly to macroeconomic uncertainty, leans the whole message toward flexibility. She tells Jeff White and Carman Pirie why she downplays sustainability, why video of machines in action outperforms everything, and why marketing means nothing if operations can't capture and convert the lead.

Josh and Emily continue their discussion of the Financial Counseling textbook by Durband, Law, and Mazzolini. This episode focuses on Chapter 5, exploring how self‑awareness shapes the effectiveness of financial counselors, emphasizing the need for professionals to understand their own traits, biases, past experiences, and emotional triggers. The hosts discuss how counselor self‑awareness influences client relationships, goal‑setting, and the ability to adapt plans, while highlighting tools like transference awareness, cognitive bias recognition, and reflective practice.Top takeaways: Self‑confidence can be both a strength and a blind spot, often reducing a counselor's tendency to self‑question. Flexibility is essential—rigid, book‑based systems (e.g., Ramsey‑style plans) fail to meet clients where they are. Emotional bonds require vulnerability with boundaries, balancing empathy with professionalism. Mutual agreement on goals is critical to success; when counselors impose their own priorities or values, the goal will likely not be achieved. Understanding personality theory strengthens counselor self‑awareness, helping professionals recognize how their traits, past experiences, and default reactions shape client interactions. Transference and counter‑transference shape client interactions, especially around emotionally charged topics like debt. Cognitive biases distort judgment, making ongoing self‑reflection critical for accurate decision-making. Past experiences shouldn't become default recommendations; what worked for the counselor may not fit the client's situation. Self‑awareness practices matter: seek feedback, record and review sessions (with client permission), track session participation, work underneath or with other coaches, track recommendation success, and watch yourself for auto‑recommendations. Money history questions can deepen understanding of yourself. Self‑care supports counselor effectiveness, improving emotional presence and reducing reactivity. Chapter 5 of Financial Counseling reinforces that self‑awareness is not optional—it's foundational. Counselors who understand their own biases, triggers, and histories are better equipped to build trust, personalize guidance, and support clients with clarity and compassion.Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

Movement isn't just about muscles and joints. It's also about how our bodies are taking in, interpreting and responding to the world around us.Katy Bowman and Dr. Jeannette Loram discuss how listening can provide valuable information about how we're moving: listening to the sound of your feet landing as you walk, the rhythm and mechanics of rowing, the sound of your stroke as you swim, and even the timing and quality of the breath during exercise can attune you to the form and efficiency of your movement.The conversation turns to vision with neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum. Katy and Dr Appelbaum explore the relationship between vision and movement, including how visual information can influence balance, spatial orientation and confidence when navigating complex environments. They discuss how our ability to perceive the physical world can be diminished by prolonged, narrow focus on our screens, and how menopause can make visually demanding tasks even more overwhelming.

For Fanta Toure, community-led crisis response efforts like mutual aid are not an emergent movement as some in the international aid system see it, but rather a return "to the way things are supposed to be". Toure, along with Hajooj Kuka of Sudan's emergency response rooms (ERRs) and Bashair Ahmed of Shabaka, joined co-host Christina Bennett to discuss the diversity of grassroots aid efforts, and to challenge the formal humanitarian system to adopt a more humble and supportive position towards locally-led action "What the system can do is to move from leading by default to actually supporting by design," says Ahmed, who points out that diaspora remittances dwarf foreign investment and international aid combined.  Kuka, meanwhile, offers a picture of a lifesaving network of volunteers who lean on flexibility, solidarity, and even joy to keep each other alive.  "What the ERRs did is showing that if the system collapses, we'll be okay," says Kuka. "The system is not what's holding us together; it's our humanity."

Wondering about homeschool freedom and flexibility? And how homeschooling might be a fit for your family? On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast, Dr. Amy and Sandy talk with Cheryl Daley, author, speaker, and host of the popular Homeschool How To podcast, to trace the exact chain of events that took her from a six-figure New York State government career to building a homeschool life rooted in freedom, relationships, and real-world learning.Cheryl shares why she treated homeschooling like a research project, interviewing more than 120 families to test assumptions about socialization, academics, and what kids “miss” when they don't follow a standard school track. We talk about deschooling, child-led learning, and the mindset shift from checking boxes to teaching kids how to learn. If you've ever worried about prom, sports, or whether you're doing “enough,” you'll hear practical ways families create options without copying school at home.We also dig into reading and literacy through the lens of the science of reading: why phonics fell out of favor, how balanced literacy failed too many kids, and what structured literacy gets right. Plus, we explore the trade-offs of digital textbooks, handwriting, and online learning tools, including how “smart” programs can still be gamed when a child is focused on time instead of mastery.If you're curious about homeschooling, curriculum overwhelm, or how to start simply with read-alouds, nature walks, and meaningful projects, this conversation will steady your next step.

This episode features Nebraska cattle producer Rylee Blomenkamp, who discusses how her family’s operation manages a diverse mix of cattle, including feeder calves, yearlings, bred cows, open cows, bulls, and other opportunistic purchases. A central theme is the importance of identifying value in different classes of cattle and adapting management strategies to changing market conditions. Rylee explains that their operation succeeds by remaining flexible and taking advantage of opportunities that arise in local auction markets rather than focusing on a single type of livestock. The discussion highlights the role of detailed recordkeeping in evaluating profitability across multiple enterprises. Rather than treating the operation as one large business unit, the family tracks expenses, feed costs, and returns for different classes of cattle, allowing them to determine where value is being created and which enterprises are most profitable. Experts emphasize that even cow-calf producers can benefit from separately evaluating replacement heifers, cull cows, and feeder calves to improve decision-making. The group also discusses the importance of keeping cattle separated by age, size, and production purpose to better manage health and nutrition. Different groups require different feeding programs, health protocols, and marketing strategies, making thoughtful organization critical to success. Nutritional management is tailored to each class of cattle, from growing calves to bred cows and finishing animals, helping maximize performance while controlling costs. A key takeaway is that successful producers combine strong records with practical experience, using both data and market awareness to guide decisions. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that having a plan is important, but maintaining flexibility and adapting to changing conditions is often what creates long-term profitability and sustainability.

What if being “naturally flexible” is actually the thing putting you at risk for injury? Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes back Dr. Emily Scherb, known as The Circus Doc, for a fascinating conversation about what circus performers can teach all hypermobile people about flexibility, strength, joint control, and injury prevention. A physical therapist, researcher, and former circus performer, Dr. Scherb explains why being able to get into an extreme position is not the same as being able to control it—and why impressive range of motion can sometimes mask weakness, instability, or poor load tolerance. The conversation explores how hypermobile bodies function differently at end range, why building strength in the mid-range can be so important, and how to tell the difference between normal training soreness, overtraining, injury, and signs that may point toward an underlying connective tissue disorder. Dr. Scherb and Dr. Bluestein also dig into the psychology of pushing through pain, the way flexibility can become intertwined with identity, the spinal changes documented in contortionists, and why performers may hide injuries when they fear that speaking up could threaten their careers. And while circus provides an extreme example, the lessons apply far beyond the circus world—to dancers, athletes, yogis, gymnasts, and anyone with a body that moves farther than average. Takeaways: More range is not always better. Hypermobility describes how far a joint can move; what matters just as much is how well you can control that range. Getting into a position is not the same as owning it. Extreme flexibility without adequate strength and control can increase stress on joints and surrounding tissues. Hypermobile people often benefit from building strength and motor control in mid-range before progressively challenging end range. Persistent pain, recurrent injuries, instability, or symptoms that seem disproportionate to training may be clues that something more than routine soreness is going on. Contortion offers a striking example of how repeated end-range loading can produce measurable adaptations in the spine. Pain should not have to become severe before someone feels “allowed” to seek care. Creating a culture where performers can address problems early may help protect both health and longevity. The goal for a hypermobile body is not necessarily less flexibility. It is more strength, control, and capacity within the range you already have. Want more of Dr. Emily Scherb?

https://teachhoops.com/ Title: What Should Your Preseason Philosophy Actually Be? Subtitle: Deciding what preseason is for before you ever blow the first whistle Show Notes Most coaches script their preseason before they ever define it. Drills get picked, days get filled, and three weeks later the team is tired but not better. Philosophy comes first. Once you know what preseason is FOR in your program, the practice plan writes itself. What we cover: 1. Preseason is for building capacity, not winning practice Nobody hangs a banner for a great October. The purpose is to raise the ceiling of what your team can handle later. Conditioning, habits, toughness, and shared language. If your preseason is built to look good, you built it wrong. 2. Pick your one non negotiable Every program needs a single thing that defines preseason. Some coaches choose defense. Some choose conditioning. Some choose culture and connection. You can only be great at one. Pick it, say it out loud to your team, and let everything else serve it. 3. Teach the why before the what Preseason is your best window to explain the reasoning behind your system. Once games start, you are correcting, not teaching. Front load the concepts now so that in December you can say two words instead of two minutes. 4. Compete every single day Habits form in preseason. If your players spend three weeks going through drills without a winner and a loser, you are training them to be comfortable. Score something every day. Make someone lose something every day. 5. Build the bench relationships early Roles get decided in preseason whether you address them or not. Talk to players about what their job will look like before they figure it out from the scorebook. Honest conversations in October save you from quitters in January. 6. Leave room to be wrong Your best guess about your team in week one will be partly wrong. Build a preseason that gathers information rather than locking in decisions. Flexibility is a philosophy too. 7. Finish with clarity, not exhaustion The goal at the end of preseason is a team that knows who they are, what they run, and how hard they are expected to play. If they are just tired, you spent the time but you did not spend it well. Coach takeaway: Preseason philosophy is simply answering one question. What do I want to be true about my team on opening night that is not true today? Everything else is just scheduling.

Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes back Dr. Emily Scherb, known as The Circus Doc, for a fascinating conversation about what circus performers can teach all hypermobile people about flexibility, strength, joint control, and injury prevention. A physical therapist, researcher, and former circus performer, Dr. Scherb explains why being able to get into an extreme position is not the same as being able to control it—and why impressive range of motion can sometimes mask weakness, instability, or poor load tolerance. The conversation explores how hypermobile bodies function differently at end range, why building strength in the mid-range can be so important, and how to tell the difference between normal training soreness, overtraining, injury, and signs that may point toward an underlying connective tissue disorder. Dr. Scherb and Dr. Bluestein also dig into the psychology of pushing through pain, the way flexibility can become intertwined with identity, the spinal changes documented in contortionists, and why performers may hide injuries when they fear that speaking up could threaten their careers. And while circus provides an extreme example, the lessons apply far beyond the circus world—to dancers, athletes, yogis, gymnasts, and anyone with a body that moves farther than average. Takeaways: More range is not always better. Hypermobility describes how far a joint can move; what matters just as much is how well you can control that range. Getting into a position is not the same as owning it. Extreme flexibility without adequate strength and control can increase stress on joints and surrounding tissues. Hypermobile people often benefit from building strength and motor control in mid-range before progressively challenging end range. Persistent pain, recurrent injuries, instability, or symptoms that seem disproportionate to training may be clues that something more than routine soreness is going on. Contortion offers a striking example of how repeated end-range loading can produce measurable adaptations in the spine. Pain should not have to become severe before someone feels “allowed” to seek care. Creating a culture where performers can address problems early may help protect both health and longevity. The goal for a hypermobile body is not necessarily less flexibility. It is more strength, control, and capacity within the range you already have. Want more of Dr. Emily Scherb?

How Travel Nursing Changes You: Confidence, Community, and Finding Your Way

Travel nursing does more than change your zip code. It changes how you carry yourself into a new unit, how you build relationships from scratch, and how you define what matters most in your life and career. In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, Audrey T., manager of recruitment at AMN Healthcare, sits down with two travel nurses, Ilana and Paige, who are living that transformation in real time. Best friends from Phoenix who met as PACU coworkers, Ilana and Paige are now on assignment together in San Diego. But their paths there looked different: Ilana has been traveling for a year and a half, while Paige is just six weeks into her first contract. Together, they open up about what actually shifts when you take the leap into travel nursing, the confidence, the friendships, the priorities, and share the advice they wish someone had given them on day one. Key Takeaways Confidence comes from trusting your existing skills. You already know how to care for patients. The unfamiliar policies and procedures at a new facility are details you will figure out, not evidence that you are unprepared. Asking questions is a sign of strength, not weakness. Ilana's go-to phrase when starting a new assignment, "How do you do this here?", shows experience while demonstrating respect for each facility's way of doing things. Community does not happen by accident. Plugging into something outside of work, whether it is surfing, church, or a volunteer group, gives you a low-pressure way to build a life in a new city. Relationships become your anchor. Distance often makes friendships and family connections more intentional, not less meaningful. Flexibility is a mindset you can practice. Learning to sit with the unknown, not knowing your next contract or location, becomes easier when you stay grounded in who you are. Your identity should not depend on your zip code. Knowing your values and purpose before a big transition helps you land on solid ground, no matter where the assignment takes you. Episode Chapters 00:00—Introduction: Why This Conversation Matters 00:42—Meet Ilana and Paige: From PACU Coworkers to Travel Partners 03:57—What Excited Them Most About Travel Nursing 04:57—Family Reactions to the Big Move 08:05—Overcoming Early Challenges on a New Unit 10:23—Building Community in a Temporary Home 11:08—How Travel Nursing Shapes Personal Identity 14:26—Shifting Priorities: Relationships, Rest, and Purpose 17:06—Making Friends as a Travel Nurse 22:37—Clinical Confidence and On-the-Job Growth 26:17—Advice for New Grads and Future Travelers Guest Spotlight: Ilana and Paige Ilana and Paige met at their first PACU job, one arriving from the ICU, the other from the ER, and became fast friends despite their departmental rivalry. Both are lifelong Arizona residents and four-year nurses who decided that experiencing new places did not require giving up the community they love back home. Ilana has been traveling for a year and a half and describes herself as a proud PACU travel nurse who has learned to embrace flexibility, both in her career and in life. Paige, an ER nurse with PACU experience, is only six weeks into her first assignment but already speaks with the clarity of someone who has done the work to stay centered through big change. Now on assignment together in San Diego, they bring a rare, honest perspective on what it actually feels like to build a new life one contract at a time, and why leaning on each other has made the transition easier for both of them.

Balcony or “plug-in” solar is rapidly gaining popularity, as it gives consumers who might not have easy access to distributed solar generation a straightforward way to deploy the technology and begin saving on their power bills. Meanwhile, as drivers transition to electric vehicles, the possibility of deploying the batteries as a flexible grid resource hooked up to bidirectional chargers is also growing. These new technologies are allowing residential utility customers to take greater control over their electricity consumption and spending. But wider adoption has implications for grid safety and reliability, and several states are already moving to regulate and manage the addition of these resources. In this episode, Dan Testa discusses these issues with Kirsten Errick, an S&P Global Energy reporter who covers renewables. Kirsten interviews Cora Stryker, co-founder of Bright Saver, a plug-in solar company, and Aseem Kapur, chief revenue officer at GM Energy.

Mark A. Beck earned a BA in Business and Japanese Language from Pacific University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Over his three-decade corporate career, he served in executive leadership at Corning Incorporated, as Executive Vice President at Danaher Corporation, and as President and CEO of JELD-WEN, guiding the company through its IPO. Today, Mark owns three manufacturing companies, co-chairs KDC/ONE, and serves as board chair for Accendra Health (formerly Owens & Minor) and IDEX Corporation. Passionate about servant leadership, he serves as faculty for the Adler Fellowship Program and has taught strategic leadership of innovation as a Visiting Professor of Practice at Cornell University. Adrienne and Mark have been married for 38 years. They reside in Matthews, North Carolina, and are the parents of five children and two grandchildren. Together, they navigated unique life blessings, including caring for their youngest son, Wesley, who was born with a rare health condition and expected to live only a few months. Wesley lived for 20 years through many miracles and Adrienne's devoted caregiving. Following his passing, Adrienne resumed her educational goals and is on track to earn her bachelor's degree later this year. Deeply committed to faith, family, and community, both Mark and Adrienne have spent years serving in Church leadership—Mark previously served as a stake president, and Adrienne as a stake Young Women president and two-time ward Primary president. Today, the couple serve side-by-side as branch president and YSA advisor for the Hemby Young Single Adult Branch in the greater Charlotte area. Beyond hosting regular home dinners and monthly “Friday Night Hangouts,” they pioneered a stake-wide mentorship program that connects young adults with community members to provide life guidance, career coaching, trade school support, and spiritual growth for the rising generation.

What if your PA career could give you more freedom, not less? This week, I'm chatting with Alexis, an ICU PA-C who is using locum tenens, business ownership, and real estate investing to create more flexibility in her career and financial life. We talk about getting started with locums, working as a 1099 PA, setting up an LLC/S-corp, tracking business expenses, and the lessons Alexis and her husband have learned from house flipping and short-term rentals. We also dig into PA burnout and how financial freedom can give you more options in your career, including the ability to work differently rather than simply working more. If you've ever wondered whether locums, real estate, or multiple income streams could help you create more freedom as a PA, this episode is for you. For many physician associates / physician assistants, financial independence can mean having enough flexibility and resources to work fewer hours, take time off, change jobs, pursue another opportunity, or simply have more control over your career. That's what PA the FI Way is all about: helping PAs use their money and career strategically so they can create more freedom and options in their lives.

The racism in the dance competition world doesn't always show up as outright hostility. Sometimes racism looks like a studio owner quietly leaving your name off the audition list.   Nicaya Wiley spent seasons two through seven on Dance Moms, and on this episode of Dance Dad with John Corella, she gets honest about what the experience cost her. Growing up as a Black dancer in a predominantly white studio meant rarely receiving corrections in class, questioning whether her body was built for this, and getting body shamed on national television before she was old enough to process what was happening.   Her mom is central to everything. She submitted Nicaya directly to casting when the studio tried to quietly leave her off the list. She faced racial slurs in the dressing room, none of which made the air. She came out as gay on the show, which Nicaya calls the boldest thing she has ever witnessed. And she raised a daughter who eventually learned to stop apologizing for the body she was born in.   Black dancers and body image in dance training is something the industry still doesn't talk about enough. Nicaya reflects on what changed for her after studying with the late Judith Jamison and what diversity in professional dance feels like now, performing aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship with castmates who finally look like her.   If you've been wondering about the Dance Moms cast and where they are now, Nicaya Wiley is still dancing, still growing, and still the person her mother raised her to be.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Nicaya Wiley on Racism in the Dance Competition World 01:32 The Four Questions With John and Nicaya 03:14 Training With Judith Jamison at Alvin Ailey 05:39 Learning to Never Apologize for Who You Are as a Dancer 07:38 Body Standards and Race in the Dance Competition World 10:40 The Economics of Flexibility in Dance Training 15:37 How Nicaya's Mom Got Her on Dance Moms 18:36 What Her Mom Taught Her About Standing Your Ground 22:04 Dealing With Cyberbullying After Dance Moms 26:03 Losing Her Brother and Father and Dancing Through Grief 31:40 Seeing Real Change in Diversity in Professional Dance 43:44 How to Address Racism in the Dance World 51:03 Best Memories From Dance Moms 56:59 What Dance Means to Nicaya Wiley 1:00:10 Favorite Dancer, Choreographer, Style, and Dance Movie Connect with Nicaya Wiley: Follow Nicaya on Instagram   Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Are you resting in the ultimate sufficiency of Jesus, or are you letting the chaos of life steal your peace and limit your willingness to obey? This week on Off Script, Neil and Scott are back together as Scott returns from his six-week break to dig into Week 2 of the Resilience series out of Acts Chapter 8. The guys dive into the story of Philip, Simon the sorcerer, and the Ethiopian eunuch, exploring what it looks like to be flexible in our faith and willing to go wherever God sends us. They break down the modern allure of the new age and the occult, unpack the tension between the word, power, and mission of God, and challenge us to push past our own embarrassment so we can point "one more" person to Jesus. The Challenge This week, audit your heart for anyone you have marginalized, written off, or assumed is "too far gone" for the Gospel. Choose to stop talking about them critically, begin praying for them intentionally, and let your desperation for their eternity overcome your fear or embarrassment so you can invite them to take a step toward Jesus. Hosts: Neil Gregory and Scott Nickell What We Discuss  • Scott's chaotic travel nightmare coming back from Colorado and finding true rest in Jesus amidst elusive circumstances • Why Scott expanded his sermon beyond Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch to walk through all of Acts Chapter 8 • Unpacking the story of Simon the sorcerer and our modern cultural fascination with the occult and new age mysticism • Resource recommendations including Ensnared by Jac Marino Chen and books by Aaron Renn and Carl Trueman • The crucial distinction between "freedom OF religion" versus "freedom FROM religion" in public spaces like FCA • The difference between the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit versus the empowering manifestation of the Spirit on believers • Why it's our job to faithfully sow seeds of the Gospel without trying to manage or judge the soil of people's hearts • Letting your desperation for people's eternity exceed your fear or embarrassment when making an invitation • The three-circle balance of a resilient church: holding the Word of God, Power of God, and Mission of God in equal tension • How Southland can practically live out speaking truth unashamedly, worshipping defiantly, and extending grace generously ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

What's a Donor-Advised Fund? (And Should You Use One?)

MoneyWise on Oneplace.com

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 10, 2026 24:57


If you have ever wished your giving could be both simpler and more strategic, there is a powerful tool worth considering: a donor-advised fund, often called a DAF. A donor-advised fund can help you organize your charitable giving, make tax-efficient contributions, and thoughtfully support the ministries and causes you care about. But before considering any financial strategy, it is important to begin with the heart. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Generosity begins in the heart, not in the tax code. At the same time, wise stewardship may include using financial tools that help us give more effectively. When used properly, a donor-advised fund can help you give joyfully while managing charitable resources efficiently. What Is a Donor-Advised Fund? You can think of a donor-advised fund as a charitable giving account designed to support the causes you care about. You contribute cash, stocks, real estate, business interests, or other eligible assets to the fund. You may then receive an immediate charitable tax deduction and recommend grants to qualified ministries and charities over time. In other words, a donor-advised fund separates the act of contributing from the act of distributing. You might make a larger contribution during a high-income year or before selling an appreciated asset. Then, rather than immediately deciding where every dollar should go, you can prayerfully consider which ministries or organizations to support. The fund is administered by a sponsoring organization that handles recordkeeping, reviews grant recipients, issues grants, and provides tools for managing the account. We often recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF), one of the largest Christian charitable-giving organizations in the country. Its founders included Christian financial leaders Larry Burkett and Ron Blue. How a Donor-Advised Fund Works Suppose you are preparing to sell a business, a piece of real estate, or another asset that has significantly increased in value. Selling the asset yourself could result in a substantial capital-gains tax. However, you may be able to contribute the asset to a donor-advised fund before the sale. Because the contribution is an irrevocable charitable gift, you may receive a tax deduction based on the asset's value and potentially avoid capital-gains taxes that otherwise would have been due. That can allow more money to be directed toward charitable purposes. Once the asset is sold within the donor-advised fund, the proceeds can be granted to ministries immediately or invested for potential growth while you determine where to give. When you are ready, you recommend a grant—perhaps $10,000 to your church, a missions organization, or another qualified charity. The sponsoring organization verifies the recipient and sends the gift either in your name or anonymously. The Benefits of a Donor-Advised Fund Donor-advised funds have become a popular charitable-giving tool because they combine flexibility with professional administration. Simpler Record-keeping: Instead of collecting tax receipts from numerous organizations, you generally receive one receipt for your contribution to the donor-advised fund. You can then manage and track your charitable grants in one place.   Potential Tax Benefits: You generally receive the charitable deduction when you contribute to the fund, rather than when grants are later distributed. Contributing appreciated assets may also help reduce or eliminate capital-gains taxes, allowing more of the asset's value to support ministry. Because tax situations vary, consult a qualified tax professional before making a significant contribution.   Flexibility in Giving: You can contribute now and recommend grants later. This allows you to practice generosity while taking time to pray, research organizations, and discern where the resources may have the greatest impact.   Legacy Planning: Many donor-advised funds allow you to name successor advisers, such as children or grandchildren. This can give your family an opportunity to continue recommending grants and participating in a legacy of generosity.   Greater Focus on Ministry: Because the sponsoring organization manages the administrative work, you can spend more time evaluating ministries, praying about opportunities, and discerning where God may be directing your giving. Important Limitations to Consider Although donor-advised funds can be helpful, they are not appropriate for every situation. Contributions Are Irrevocable: Once an asset is contributed, the gift is complete. You cannot later withdraw the money for personal use. For that reason, you should never contribute resources that may still be needed for living expenses, emergencies, debt repayment, or other financial responsibilities.   Grants Must Go to Qualified Charities: Grants generally may only be made to eligible, IRS-approved charitable organizations. A donor-advised fund cannot normally be used to give money directly to an individual or to support political candidates.   Giving Can Be Delayed: Money can remain in a donor-advised fund for years before it is distributed. While that flexibility can be useful, it can also delay meaningful charitable impact. At FaithFi, we encourage believers to view a donor-advised fund as a tool for timely and intentional generosity—not as a place to indefinitely accumulate charitable assets. A donor-advised fund should help organize your generosity, not postpone it. Ministries and people have real needs today, and resources already committed to charitable purposes should ultimately be put to work. Is a Donor-Advised Fund Right for You? A donor-advised fund may be especially helpful when you: Regularly give to several ministries or charities Want to contribute appreciated assets Expect an unusually high-income year Are preparing to sell a business, property, or investment Want to involve your family in long-term generosity Prefer a simpler way to organize charitable giving However, the strategy should always serve the greater purpose of faithful stewardship. The goal is not simply to reduce taxes or create a more efficient financial plan. It is to use what God has entrusted to us in ways that reflect His priorities, care for others, and advance the work of the gospel.

Rather than leave it sitting in cash, how should I think about putting that money to work? I've been paying $100 a month toward a hospital bill, but my statements aren't showing the payments or reducing the balance. I've called twice without getting a response. What should I do next? My son wants me to join a pooled investment account with him, some friends, and family members, and even roll my 401(k) into it. What are the risks of investing through a joint account like this, and what tax or penalty issues could come with moving money out of my 401(k)? I'm encouraging my adult children to start Roth IRAs, even with small contributions. Where can they open accounts with low fees, and would a resource like Sound Mind Investing be a good place to start learning?

Weekend Scripture: Acts 8 Resilience is the capacity to maintain core purpose and identity in the face of dramatically changing circumstances. Scott dives into Acts 8 to explore flexibility as we finish our series on Resilience. Persecution scattered the early church, but God leveraged changing circumstances to spread the Gospel as Philip faithfully obeyed and shared Jesus. A resilient church stands firmly on the Word of God, the power of God, and the mission of God to reach one more person with the life-changing news of Christ.

What does it actually mean to keep growing as an adult? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Travis Macy for a conversation that is less of an interview and more of a real, honest exploration of adulthood, grief, parenting, identity, intimacy, and mattering.Travis and I have had many podcast conversations over the years. I've been on his podcast, he's been on mine, and we became good friends through this work. In a lot of ways, we've lived these almost parallel lives as professional athletes, parents, podcasters, keynote speakers, authors, and people trying to figure out who we are beyond performance.In this conversation, Travis shares about his father's eight-year journey with Alzheimer's and his recent passing, and how that experience became a major developmental milestone in his own life. We talk about grief, appreciation, gratitude, and the strange way hard things can deepen us when we are willing to stay present with them.We also explore adult development: how our beliefs, identities, relationships, and sense of self change over time. We talk about moving from approval-seeking to mattering, from performance-based identity to something more flexible, and from people-pleasing to more honest communication and deeper intimacy.This episode is for anyone navigating transition, grief, parenting, identity shifts, or the question: who am I becoming now?Top 5 TakeawaysAdult growth is not just personal development: It changes how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.Grief can become a developmental milestone: Travis shares how his father's Alzheimer's journey and passing reshaped his sense of adulthood, gratitude, and appreciation.Identity has to become more flexible: Many of us are learning who we are beyond performance, achievement, sponsorships, or old versions of success.Mattering is different from approval: Feeling valued and knowing we add value can move us beyond people-pleasing and the need to prove ourselves.Relationships help us grow: Parenting, partnership, friendship, community, and emotional honesty can all become places where adult development happens.LINKSLearn about Travis's workFollow Travis on Instagram A Mile at a Time with Endurance Athletes Travis and Mark “Mace” MacyThe Ultra Mindset with Endurance Athlete and Coach Travis MacyPerformance, Imperfect Preparation, and Flexibility with Travis Macy (Live Podcast)--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
