Why are so many schools and companies participating now? What's the real value compared to strong training and company performances? Fran brings his signature clarity and candor to a topic that's often confusing and feels high-stakes.

Like many musicians, Kerry started singing and performing when he was a kid in church. At age 7 he was singing solos in front of the entire congregation. Then came piano lessons to learn to read and write music. He really loved to sing though, so he concentrated on his vocals. He performed all throughout his school years, all the way up through college at George Mason University. The West Coast was calling him so in 1988 on a wing and a prayer he heads out to L.A.!! He settles in and meets some great musicians and starts to perform out there, singing in some experimental Rock bands like Acid Clown. In 1991 he came up with the concept of The Thrillbillyz and, along with the help of some great musician friends, was able to record a four song demo at Fox Studios in Glendale, CA and work with the owner/engineer Rich Fox. In 1993 ,after several years of performing around Southern California as The Thrillbillyz, Hurley moves back to the East Coast and his hometown of Roanoke, Virginia. Roanoke definitely is not as big of a market as L.A. but it has a growing music scene and Hurley jumps in head first. He re-forms The Thrillbillyz and starts playing shows like crazy. He continues to write and work on his originals and in 1994 takes his band into Flat Five Studios in Salem, VA and records the album “Romp!” and releases it in 1995. Ten of the eleven songs are originals and a few of the songs (Franklin County Moonshine & Sweet Leaf) wind up on the radio in regular rotation on the area's biggest Rock station 96.3 WROV. The band played constantly in support of it's record and through it's association with Buzz Casey and WROV was able to open up for quite a few National acts like Government Mule, Storyville, Foghat, Loverboy, Johnny Winter, Matchbox 20 and many more!!! The band played and enjoyed success for the next 5 years and in 2000 everyone went their own musical ways. Hurley had been singing on the side for a Blues band called Blues Hangover from 96 to 98 and traveled quite a bit with them, winning several Blues Contests and traveling to Memphis, TN in 97 to compete in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge. It was a great learning experience. In 2001 Hurley wound up joining The Fat Daddy Band and that very same year went down and won the Charlotte Blues Society's contest and in 2002 went to Memphis again to represent them at the IBC and made it to the finals (one of ten bands out of 150). For the next 14 years he would front that band and continue to write songs. He put out 2 cd's with The Fat Daddy Band - “From The Soul”(2003) and “Live & Lovin' It!”(2005).

It started with a bold question that showed up in a public comment: "If infinite banking is so powerful, why wouldn't I just put all my income into a whole life policy?" That single comment sparked a deeply layered, thoughtful conversation that we knew needed more attention. It wasn't criticism. It was curiosity. And curiosity, when channeled with wisdom and humility, can be a catalyst for generational transformation. So today, we're opening up that conversation—and giving you the full picture of what it really means to go "all in" with infinite banking. What You're Really Asking When You Consider Putting All Your Income into a Whole Life PolicyShould You Really Put All Your Income into a Whole Life Policy? (The Real Answer May Surprise You)The Spirit Behind the Question Think Long Range: The Power of Time Don't Be Afraid to Capitalize—But Be Strategic Policy Design: Base vs. PUA, and Why It Matters Understand Insurability and Premium Affordability Sustainability Is Freedom The Danger of Over-Leveraging and Poor RepaymentWhy All Your Income into a Whole Life Policy Shouldn't Be Your Only StrategyBook A Strategy Call What You're Really Asking When You Consider Putting All Your Income into a Whole Life Policy The idea of putting all your income into a whole life policy sounds bold—even radical. And in the context of the infinite banking concept (IBC), it's a question worth exploring. As someone who's lived and breathed this philosophy, I (Rachel Marshall) have heard this question before. And in this conversation with my colleague Joe DeFazio, we wanted to approach it with both clarity and candor. Because here's the truth: Yes, whole life insurance and infinite banking can be incredibly powerful tools for financial freedom, stewardship, and legacy-building. But like any strategy, the design and implementation matter. In this article, we're going to unpack the principles behind the idea of putting all your income into a whole life policy, the risks, the benefits, and most importantly—the mindset that helps you use this tool to its fullest, most sustainable potential. You'll learn: - Why infinite banking isn't just about the numbers—it's about long-term thinking - The role of policy design and insurability - How to balance capitalization with sustainability - Why freedom comes through commitment Let's dive in. Should You Really Put All Your Income into a Whole Life Policy? (The Real Answer May Surprise You) If you're asking whether to put all your income into a whole life policy, you're not alone. It's a question we hear often—and for good reason. The Infinite Banking Concept is compelling. It gives you control, liquidity, privacy, and long-term access to capital. It feels like the financial tool we've all been waiting for—and in many ways, it is. But let's be clear: Infinite Banking is a system. Not a silver bullet. Going "all in" on a whole life policy without the right structure is like planting seeds without soil. Yes, premium matters. But without a clear understanding of how that premium fits into your broader wealth strategy, you could easily find yourself over-leveraged and cash-strapped. Nelson Nash taught us that capitalization is essential, but he never said to abandon wisdom in the process. That's why our answer is almost always: no, don't put all your income into a policy. Instead, fund it based on your long-term strategy, your liquidity needs, your investing rhythm, and your ability to keep the policy active through every season of life. Think marathon, not sprint. When clients ask this question, we gently guide them back to the deeper one: What are you really trying to build? Because when you understand the real vision, your policy becomes a tool—not a trap. The Spirit Behind the Question We weren't offended by the question. Quite the opposite. It takes courage to ask, "Why not go all in?" But before we can even answer that,

Dr. French graduated with his Ph.D. from one of the leading European universities, the University of Birmingham in England, in December 2011. His Doctoral Thesis is the first of its kind, researching the foundations of the Oneness Movement at a major university under the supervision of well-known and well-published college administrator, educator, and author Dr. Allan Anderson, Director of the Graduate Institute at the University of Birmingham.The 140,000-word Thesis is entitled “Early Oneness Pentecostalism, G. T. Haywood, and the Interracial Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (1906-1931)” and uncovers a wealth of historical treasures and important bits of missing data regarding the early growth, development, and leadership of Oneness Pentecostalism. The core of the research documents the fascinating and important primary sources regarding Haywood's role in the interracial success of the early movement, especially the PAW, the forerunner organization of the UPCI. The Thesis demonstrates the trajectory of the emerging movement from inception to a movement of more than 30 million today.Dr. French has also earned degrees from and/or studied at the Apostolic Bible Institute (St. Paul), Crighton College (Memphis), Wheaton College and Wheaton College Graduate School, and the University of Indiana (Bloomington). In addition to the Ph.D., he holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ancient Language (Greek), a Master of Arts degree in New Testament Theology, and a four-year degree in Pentecostal Studies. His earlier Master of Arts Thesis at Wheaton College Graduate School on the history of the Oneness Pentecostal movement gained national recognition when published in 1999 under the title Our God Is One: The Story of the Oneness Pentecostals. It is a landmark study, and now a best-seller, regarding the history and expansion of the Oneness movement into a worldwide phenomenon.After the publication of Our God Is One, he also developed for publication a laminated doctrinal booklet series, “Steadfast in the Apostles' Doctrine,” in a fold-out pamphlet format. The series includes two full-color titles, The Oneness and Jesus' Name Baptism.Talmadge and Rebecca French have been married for forty-five years and have three sons. Talmadge L. French began preaching ministry in 1976 and evangelized for four years. He served three years as an assistant pastor in West Memphis, Arkansas, with Rev. Bobby McCool, then went to the Chicago area to establish a new church in Wheaton, Illinois, beginning in 1983. He served for a time on the UPCI Illinois District Board.In 1994, he began commuting to Indianapolis as an Instructor of Bible, Theology, and Biblical Languages at Indiana Bible College of Calvary Tabernacle, Paul Mooney, President. In 2000, the French family moved to Indianapolis to become the full-time Dean of the Department of Biblical Studies, continuing as a full-time Instructor. In 2005, he became the Executive Vice President of Indiana Bible College, a position he held from 2005-2007.After leaving IBC in May 2007, he became Provost of the Apostolic School of Theology, Sacramento, California, and instructor of theology and biblical languages, developing extensive course work for online accredited Apostolic studies, including online courses in Greek and Hebrew. These courses, including Greek and Hebrew, Theology and Doctrine, Philosophy, Ethics, Evangelism, and more, are now being prepared for online availability through the Oneness Studies Institute.The Frenches moved to Durham, North Carolina, in 2009, serving as a minister with the First Pentecostal Church, after which, in 2010, they established their family in the Raleigh Temple of Pentecost to begin a temporary period of full-time itinerant ministry as they entered the final year of PhD studies with the University of Birmingham, UK, which was completed in 2011. Talmadge and Rebecca became the pastor here at Apostolic Tabernacle in July of 2011.

Conventional financial advice keeps you tethered to Wall Street, locking up all your cash in retirement accounts and home equity. But what if there's a smarter way for passive investors to build wealth? In this episode, we explore the strategies financial institutions adopt but don't advertise—like using high cash value, whole life insurance to unlock capital and create real passive income. Today, Russ Morgan and Joey Muré from Wealth Without Wall Street share how they've used over 30 whole life insurance policies to fund businesses, insure operators, and generate long-term wealth. They pull back the curtain on the infinite banking concept (IBC), a strategy for turning insurance into your own personal banking system, and demonstrate how your policy's cash value can outperform traditional investments. This approach isn't about chasing death benefits—it's about building an income engine that continues to grow even while you borrow against it. Russ and Joey will show you how to create your passive income operating system, choose the right policy, and break free from conventional thinking to achieve true financial freedom.

Are you unconsciously spending on things that don't matter? In this episode, Brian and Hans tackle one of the most common questions they receive from clients: "How do I find money to fund my IBC policy premium?" Together, they explore practical strategies for identifying suboptimal capital in your economy and shifting how you think about premium payments entirely.Their candid conversation reveals how most Americans are managing cash flow without intentionality, letting dollars slip through their fingers. As Brian points out, "The money comes into the account, the money goes out, you don't know where it went." This unconscious approach to finances creates a significant opportunity for those willing to analyze their spending patterns.We discover why understanding your current financial patterns is the crucial first step to taking control of your banking function. Hans reminds us that "more than the dollars, the control is what's valuable here," highlighting that the real power of implementing an Infinite Banking Concept system lies not just in wealth accumulation, but in the financial freedom it provides through intentional money management.Unconscious Spending Habits: Most people are unknowingly spending at least 10% more than needed on things that don't truly matter. Brian and Hans discuss how analyzing your spending patterns for just a few months can reveal significant "found money" without sacrificing your quality of life or adopting extreme frugality.Reimagining Premium Payments: Unlike other types of insurance, whole life policy premiums should not be viewed as expenses but as wealth transfers. The paradigm shift is recognizing that these dollars will return to you either through cash value access during your lifetime or as a tax-free death benefit to your family later, completely changing how you approach funding decisions.Strategic Funding Sources: The conversation explores multiple places to find premium dollars, including: converting your emergency fund to a more efficient vehicle, optimizing other insurance deductibles, redirecting investment capital gains, repurposing qualified retirement funds, and capturing "excess flows" like bonuses or social security cap savings.Taking Control Through Intentionality: Hans emphasizes that you already have a distribution plan for your money whether you're conscious of it or not. The value in the IBC approach isn't just the financial growth, but the control it gives you over your financial system, allowing decisions based on certainty rather than hope.▶️Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Unconscious Spending01:00 - Catching Up on Recent Events05:00 - The Impermanence of Possessions08:00 - Cultural Censorship Discussion 12:00 - Finding Money for Premiums15:00 - Understanding Your Distribution Plan18:00 - Emergency Fund Optimization22:00 - Raising Insurance Deductibles24:00 - The Premium Paradigm Shift28:00 - Capital Gains and Tax Efficiency33:00 - Leveraging Qualified Funds37:00 - Future Cash Flows and Flexibility42:00 - Capturing Excess Income Streams45:00 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpGot Questions?

Imagine sitting in a room full of financial professionals, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders, all gathered with a shared mission—to gain clarity, deepen understanding, and refine strategies for implementing Infinite Banking. That's exactly what happened at the Nelson Nash Institute Think Tank 2025, and today, we're sharing the most impactful takeaways with you. https://www.youtube.com/live/qTqZo7AvS88 Bruce and Becca just got back from this annual gathering, where the best minds in Infinite Banking come together to ensure that Nelson Nash's legacy remains strong and relevant. I (Rachel) wasn't able to attend in person this year, but listening to their insights and stories makes me even more eager to go in the future. If you've ever wondered how to simplify the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) and use it effectively in today's financial climate, you'll want to read on. What is the Nelson Nash Institute Think Tank? And Why Does It Matter?1. Do Simple Better2. Think Long Range and Don't Be Afraid to Capitalize3. Don't Do Business with Banks4. Differentiate Between the Process and the Product5. The Role of Whole Life Insurance vs. IUL (Indexed Universal Life)Take Control of Your Financial FutureBook A Strategy Call What is the Nelson Nash Institute Think Tank? And Why Does It Matter? If you're not familiar, the Think Tank is an annual conference hosted by the Nelson Nash Institute (NNI). It's designed for authorized practitioners, students of Infinite Banking, and selected clients who want to understand the deeper nuances of IBC. It's not just a networking event—it's a mastermind of like-minded individuals dedicated to financial autonomy. Nelson Nash started this event over 20 years ago as a way to keep the message pure—to prevent the Infinite Banking Concept from being diluted or sensationalized. Unfortunately, we see confusion in the marketplace today, with different variations of Infinite Banking being promoted under flashy names like “accelerated banking” or “infinite wealth systems.” The Think Tank exists to bring clarity and help authorized practitioners share the true power of Infinite Banking with their clients. Here's what we learned this year: 1. Do Simple Better One of the key messages from this year's Think Tank was keeping the concept simple. Too often, people overcomplicate Infinite Banking, adding unnecessary complexity that confuses clients. One common example? The language we use. Bruce pointed out a pet peeve of his—calling policy premiums “deposits.” Some advisors use this terminology because they think clients will shut down if they hear the word “premium.” But this causes confusion. A premium is not a bank deposit. It's a strategic payment into a life insurance policy that provides long-term benefits. When we use clear, honest language, we empower people to make informed decisions. The key takeaway: Clarity leads to confidence. If you want to succeed with Infinite Banking, simplify the process, use the right terminology, and avoid unnecessary complexity. 2. Think Long Range and Don't Be Afraid to Capitalize One of the biggest mistakes people make with Infinite Banking is short-term thinking. Nelson Nash emphasized the importance of capitalization—funding your policy properly so you can reap the benefits later. At the Think Tank, Bruce and Becca discussed the trend of minimizing base premiums to maximize early cash value. While this might seem attractive at first, it contradicts the foundational principles of IBC. A well-funded policy—one with an appropriate base premium—is what creates sustainable, long-term growth. Becca shared a powerful insight: “Your behavior matters more than the product.” The Infinite Banking Concept isn't just about whole life insurance—it's about how you use it. If you're not willing to think long-term and capitalize your system, you won't see the full benefits. 3. Don't Do Business with Banks
If you don't hear it from us, you're not going to just stumble across it - but what exactly is "it" when it comes to the truth about our financial system?In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans dives into the mechanics of central banking, monetary systems, and the financial "rules of the game" that affect us all daily—yet remain largely hidden from view.This episode offers a thoughtful examination of how our financial system actually works and why understanding it matters for those implementing IBC (Infinite Banking Concept). Rather than simply demonizing central banking and fiat currency, Hans argues for a more nuanced approach: truly understanding the system we're forced to operate within.Exploring everything from the true origins of money to the relationship between Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury, this episode challenges many common assumptions while providing practical insights for navigating our current financial reality. It's a masterclass in "knowing your enemy" for anyone looking to protect their financial future through IBC principles.The Origin and Nature of Money: An exploration of competing theories about where money comes from - the mettallist "barter origin story" versus the chartalist view that money is a creation of the state.Fiat Money Realities: Why fiat currency isn't inherently evil, but rather a medium defined by government decree - one we're forced to interact with whether we like it or not.State Money vs. Bank Money: Understanding the difference between state-created monetary base (legal tender) and the expanded bank money created through fractional reserve banking.The True Role of the Federal Reserve: Challenging common misconceptions about who's really responsible for inflation - is it really Jerome Powell and the Fed, or is Congress the true culprit?Fractional Reserve Banking Explained: A clear breakdown of how banks can turn $100 of deposits into $1000 through the money multiplier effect, and the implications this has for our economy.Practical IBC Application: Why using IBC is about optimizing within a fiat system we can't escape, rather than pretending we can avoid it entirely.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Reality Check05:00 - The Encyclopedia of Central Banking07:00 - Questioning Our Financial System13:00 - Learning From Central Bankers18:00 - Understanding the Rules of the Game25:00 - What Is Money?

What if the key to generational wealth was hidden in a 92-page book written over 25 years ago?In this episode of Remnant Finance, we dive deep into the fundamentals of the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) by revisiting Nelson Nash's five core principles from his groundbreaking book "Becoming Your Own Banker." After exploring various financial topics in recent episodes, the conversation returns to the bedrock principles that make IBC such a powerful financial strategy.The discussion breaks down each principle—Think Long Term, Don't Be Afraid to Capitalize, Don't Steal the Peas, Don't Do Business with Banks, and Rethink Your Thinking—while exploring how they interconnect to create a comprehensive approach to personal finance. These aren't just abstract concepts but practical guidelines for creating a sustainable financial legacy.Beyond just financial strategy, the episode explores how these principles can transform your approach to all areas of life and create multi-generational wealth that benefits your family for decades to come.Think Long Term: The importance of shifting away from our culture's instant gratification mindset. Emphasis on thinking 30, 40, even 70 years into the future and planning for multiple generations, not just immediate returns. A detailed explanation of how whole life insurance provides guaranteed contractual growth that can benefit your grandchildren and beyond.Don't Be Afraid to Capitalize: The concept of capitalizing your system—not as investing, but as building potential energy within your personal economy. Using the metaphor of "damming a river" to control your financial flow rather than letting money simply pass through your life. Encouragement to pay meaningful premiums that might stretch you slightly but remain manageable.Don't Steal the Peas: Using Nash's grocery store analogy to explain the importance of being an honest banker to yourself. This means paying back policy loans with appropriate interest, even when borrowing from your own cash value. A discussion on how this practice builds your capital pool and benefits your entire system.Don't Do Business with Banks: While acknowledging that most people need to maintain at least a checking account, a discussion about Nash's principle of eventually eliminating dependence on traditional banking institutions. Weighing the philosophical aspects against practical considerations, ultimately focusing on having the freedom to choose whether to use banks or not.Rethink Your Thinking: Added later by Nash, this fifth principle encourages constant questioning of conventional financial wisdom. Sharing of personal evolution in thinking over time and how Remnant Finance itself is a case study in rethinking financial approaches.▶️ Chapters: 00:01 - Introduction to Nelson Nash's principles04:00 - The banking function and whole life insurance05:00 - Think long term - first principle12:00 - Don't be afraid to capitalize - second principle22:00 - Don't steal the peas - third principle33:00 - Don't do business with banks - fourth principle43:00 - Rethink your thinking - fifth principle47:00 - The importance of learning from those practicing what they preach50:00 - Closing thoughts and recommendation to read Nash's bookGot Questions?
