Should I buy my forever home now, even if I’m not quite ready for it yet? That’s the question we’re unpacking in this episode. We’ve come across a few first home buyers who are in the rare position of being able to afford more than they need, and it’s worth talking about. Because while the budget might say “forever home,” the lifestyle might be saying, “not just yet.” We talk through the big trade-offs: the costs of upgrading later, the benefits of locking in today’s prices, and the risk of buying something that doesn’t really work for you right now. We’ve seen buyers try to plan five or ten years ahead, and sometimes get it wrong. So we’re sharing the questions you need to ask yourself before making a call: should I buy my forever home if I might not live in it for years? What would future-me want? And will this decision give me more flexibility or less? We also cover rentvesting, tax considerations, and the emotional side of home buying, because let’s face it, excitement and FOMO can be sneaky decision drivers. This episode isn’t about telling you what to do, it’s about helping you think it through properly, with a bit of strategy and some guidance from people who’ve seen it all before. If you’ve been wondering, should I buy my forever home now, this one’s for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer but there is a smarter way to figure it out. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 02:00 - Defining the “forever home” vs. “first home” mindset 04:10 - Buying now for a future lifestyle: projecting 5 to 10 years ahead 05:30 - Weighing the cost of upgrading later 07:50 - Capital growth and locking in today’s prices 10:00 - The rentvesting alternative 13:10 - Risks of lifestyle misalignment 16:30 - Tax and insurance considerations for rentvesting 18:20 - Emotional vs. strategic buying 20:00 - Why you need a strategic plan and expert advice 21:30 - Questions to ask before buying your forever home early Course Details: The First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent. With our expert guidance, you'll know what to do at every step along the way. Become a home owner faster and easier.

Say hello to Lila. She is this week's Star 99.9 Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week!  Lila is a one-year-old domestic short hair mix with stunning black and gray stripes that give her total feline fashionista vibes. She's a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, get ready for a sweet, affectionate, and surprisingly chatty new best friend. Lila would love a calm home with adults and maybe even another mellow cat buddy (just no dogs, please, she's not a fan). She'll thrive as an indoor-only cat, especially with someone who has a little shy-cat experience. Think you've got room in your heart (and on your couch) for Lila? Visit

Psalm 90 - Speaker: Josh Roland - Psalm 90 reminds us that while God is our eternal home and refuge, sin has shattered that reality, bringing pain, wrath, and death. Moses, writing from a life of wilderness and exile, proclaims that God alone is our lasting dwelling—from everlasting to everlasting. Yet, because of sin, we face death, judgment, and separation. This Psalm confronts us with the sobering truth: all our days are under God's wrath because our sins are exposed before Him. However, the wise will respond not with defiance, but with humility—crying out for mercy and love. Moses prays for wisdom to number our days, for joy to match our suffering, and for God's favor to make our work matter. Ultimately, Psalm 90 points us to Jesus—the only one who fully knew God's wrath and bore it for us. In Christ, we are brought home. He became flesh, dwelt among us, and made a way for eternal belonging with God. Jesus isn't just the one who leads us home—He is our home. Through Him, we find mercy, joy, meaning, and eternal rest. Though life is fleeting, in Christ, our forever home is secure.

Brittany from West Virginia learned that lesson the hard way. First, an elderly woman with perfect blue-rinse hair snuggles into bed beside eight-year-old Brittany, politely shaking her head “no” when asked if murder is on the menu—southern hospitality, but make it spectral. Then the family greyhound becomes a four-legged alarm system, staring down an attic no one dares enter and barking at something only the afterlife could love. Throw in a silent little girl who prefers midnight staring contests, and you've got a forever home that really means forever.

Our heart is to establish a Dwelling Place—not just a good church. The difference between a good church and a Dwelling Place is who it's built for. A good church is built for people to gather. A Dwelling Place is built for God to come and remain. It's all about His Presence.   We choose faithfulness to His promise. Faithfulness to His Presence. Faithfulness to His heart. Faithfulness to His house.   We are prioritizing His heart, His Presence, and His voice. We are prioritizing His glory, His beauty, and intimacy with Him.   We don't do this to become His Dwelling Place— We do it because we already are.

Every Thursday Connecticut Humane Society joins the show to tell us about another pet that needs a home. This week we are meeting Sadie! If you're looking for a lively and lovable new companion, let us introduce you to Spectacular Sadie! This three-month-old tan and black beauty is a mixed breed with a big personality. Expected to weigh up to 44 pounds when fully grown, Sadie is full of energy and eager to find a home that can keep up with her playful spirit. Sadie would thrive in a household with children over the age of ten who understand how to be gentle and respectful with pets. She's still learning the ropes of being a well-mannered pup, so continued obedience training will be essential for her growth. While she hasn't had much experience with other dogs, she may be open to making a new canine friend—pending a proper meet and greet, of course! However, she wouldn't be a good match for a home with cats. With her boundless energy, Sadie needs a family that can provide her with plenty of daily exercise to keep her happy and healthy. If you're ready for a fun-loving pup who's eager to learn and grow, Sadie might just be the perfect addition to your family! Could Sadie be your new best friend? Head over to cthumane.org/all-adoptable-pets today to meet this sweet girl and see if she's the right fit for your home!

Paul and Jane Cathacart join brendan to share their epic renovation story.

Scripture teaches us that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ; He's gone before us to prepare our forever home, and the way we live here is revealed there. If we spend our time on earth focused on the treasures of this world, then our treasure dies with us. But if we live focused on eternity, worldly riches cease to matter in light of living surrendered fully to Him.

The Bible teaches that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ, and He has gone before us to prepare a forever home for us. The way we live on this side of Heaven is revealed in the home we have in Heaven. If we live focused on the treasures of this world then all of our treasure is left to die with the rest of this world. But if we live focused on the forever home in Heaven with Jesus, the things of this world do not matter nearly as much as living a life surrendered to Him, treasuring in our hearts what He treasures.
