Most of us don't wake up intending to serve money. And yet, over time, financial pressure, goals, and anxieties can quietly begin shaping our decisions, priorities, and even our sense of security. Jesus addresses this directly in Luke 16:13: “You cannot serve God and money.” But that doesn't mean money has no place in the life of a believer. It simply means money must never be our master. The invitation of Scripture is far better: not to serve money, but to serve God with money. Money Is a Gift to Receive with Gratitude One of the most important starting points is recognizing that money is not inherently bad—it's a gift. Ecclesiastes 5:19 reminds us, “Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them—this is the gift of God.” God is not opposed to provision or even enjoyment. In fact, when Jesus fed the five thousand in Matthew 14, He didn't just meet the need—there were twelve baskets left over. The message isn't excess for its own sake, but that God's provision is abundant and generous. When we begin here, with gratitude, money shifts from something we grasp for to something we receive. Money Reveals What We Trust At the same time, money carries real spiritual weight. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” Notice—it's not money itself, but our love for it that leads us astray. Money has a way of exposing our hearts. Every financial decision—spending, saving, giving—asks a deeper question: What am I trusting right now? Am I looking to money for security? Am I using it to shape my identity? Or am I trusting God as my provider? Money is morally neutral, but how we use it is deeply spiritual. Money Is a Tool for Purpose, Not a Goal Scripture consistently points us beyond accumulation. Ephesians 4:28 tells us to work “so that [we] may have something to share with anyone in need.” That's a profound shift. We don't earn simply to build our own lives—we earn to participate in God's provision for others. This reframes everything: Work becomes more than survival—it becomes participation in God's generosity. Saving becomes preparation, not fear. Investing becomes stewardship when it supports future responsibility and generosity. Money finds its greatest purpose when it flows outward, not when it's hoarded inward. Putting Money in Its Proper Place Jesus' words in Luke 16:13 remind us that money must remain a servant, never a master. John Wesley captured this beautifully when he wrote: “Money is an excellent gift of God… it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, raiment for the naked.” That's a picture of redeemed money—money used for purposes that reflect the heart of God. Holding Money with Open Hands There's one more truth that frees us: money is temporary. 1 Timothy 6:7 says, “We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” Every dollar we manage is something we steward for a season. But how we use it can have a lasting impact. When we remember that: We enjoy God's provision without clinging to it. We plan wisely without placing our hope in wealth. We give generously because we trust God to provide again. So before your next financial decision—whether it's spending, saving, investing, or giving—try asking: “Lord, how can this money serve You and others?” Because money is never the destination. It's a tool placed in our hands to accomplish something far greater than ourselves.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this conversation, Ashley Tison, a tax strategist and co-founder of OZPros, discusses the significance of Opportunity Zones as a powerful tax incentive for investors. He explains how these zones were created to attract private capital into underserved areas, allowing investors to defer and potentially eliminate capital gains taxes. The discussion covers the mechanics of investing in Opportunity Zones, the importance of community impact, and how family offices approach capital deployment strategically. Tison emphasizes the need for compliance and the common pitfalls investors face, particularly the critical 180-day window for capital gains reinvestment.Main Points:Opportunity Zones are designed to attract private capital into underserved areas.Investors can defer capital gains taxes by investing in Qualified Opportunity Funds.The program has mobilized approximately $150 billion into Opportunity Zones.Investing in these zones inherently creates positive community impact.Family offices prioritize long-term wealth creation and risk management.Investors should be aware of the 180-day reinvestment deadline to avoid penalties.Not all investments in Opportunity Zones are created equal; due diligence is essential.The program allows for a variety of investment types, including real estate and operating businesses.Common mistakes include failing to act within the 180-day window and misunderstanding the nature of Opportunity Zones.Successful investments require a focus on both financial returns and community outcomes.Connect With Ashley Tison:ashley@ozpros.comozpros.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-tisonhttps://www.youtube.com/@OZPros/videos
Markets are under pressure, and in this episode we break down what's really driving the recent selloff—and what investors should do next. With stocks down for five straight weeks and major indexes firmly in the red for 2026, we walk through how the Iran conflict is creating a global oil shock, reigniting inflation concerns, and putting interest rate cuts at risk. From the Magnificent Seven getting hit hard to rising volatility across asset classes, we explain why this environment feels different—and why traditional “safe havens” aren't behaving as expected.We also explore the key scenarios ahead: a short conflict that creates a buy-the-dip opportunity, versus a prolonged war that leads to continued market pressure and multiple compressions. We discuss how higher energy costs ripple through transportation, consumer goods, and even AI infrastructure, and why patience, discipline, and position sizing matter more than ever. In a market driven by uncertainty and geopolitical risk, we focus on strategy—not prediction—so you can protect your portfolio while staying ready for opportunity.*This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.

Where do you get your financial advice from? A report says Gen Z are nearly five times more likely to turn to social media than people in their 40s. On TikTok, the hashtag FinTok has over four billion views, with trends like girl math, loud budgeting and cash stuffing going viral. But are 'finfluencers' empowering the youth or exposing them to financial harm? We hear from 23-year-old Achiever Omoobajesu and 24-year-old Gbeminiyi Shopeju about Gen Z's approach to investing and why social media has become to go-to place for financial advice.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brett Chestnut. Managing Director of Northwestern Mutual Goodwin, Wright Gwinnett. The conversation centers on Brett’s mission as a financial leader, his journey from engineering to financial planning, his commitment to mentoring, and his focus on expanding diversity in the financial services industry. Brett describes how he transitioned from engineering in 2015 to financial planning because he wanted to help people regain the ability to dream—not just survive. He discusses his work in recruiting diverse advisors, supporting career‑shifting professionals, mentoring, and educating people on foundational financial decision‑making. The interview also explores money mindsets, budgeting, the challenges of building wealth in communities of color, and the often‑overlooked emotional side of money. Brett emphasizes starting with the basics, not skipping steps (e.g., jumping straight to cryptocurrency), and building strong financial foundations. Rushion repeatedly highlights Brett as a powerful brand and role model, underscoring the importance of Black leadership in financial fields and the role of representation in increasing trust and access. Purpose of the Interview The interview’s purpose is to: 1. Introduce Brett Chestnut as a trusted financial leader Rushion aims to elevate Brett’s visibility as a Black managing director in financial services—an industry where representation has traditionally been limited. 2. Educate listeners on financial empowerment Brett provides practical, relatable guidance on budgeting, investing, career transitions, and developing financial discipline. 3. Highlight Northwestern Mutual’s diversity initiatives Brett explains how the company is intentionally investing in diverse advisors and underserved markets. 4. Inspire career‑based and financial self‑reflection He encourages people to examine their spending habits, consider new career paths, and align decisions with long-term goals. 5. Promote mentorship and community uplift Both Brett and Rushion stress the transformative power of mentorship and generational investment. Key Takeaways 1. Financial empowerment starts with awareness Brett urges everyone to analyze their last 2–3 months of spending to understand what their habits really prioritize. 2. You must “choose your hard” Saving and planning may be difficult now, but the alternative is harder later. Financial success requires discipline, not magic formulas. 3. Wealth building is emotional as much as logical Money connects to family, relationships, self‑worth, stress, and confidence. Advisors must understand clients emotionally, not just mathematically—especially women and diverse communities. 4. Don’t skip steps (especially with investing and crypto) Many want to “get rich fast,” but Brett warns that skipping foundational steps (budgeting, savings, retirement planning) leads to confusion and poor decisions. 5. Mentorship works only with real relationship True mentorship requires understanding someone’s full life story, not just giving advice. 6. Representation matters in financial services Northwestern Mutual is investing heavily in diverse advisors not just for optics, but because entire markets have been historically underserved. 7. Closing the wealth gap requires generational strategy One generation must be willing to be selfless, disciplined, and intentional with assets to move future generations forward. 8. Brett sees his work as multiplying impact By developing new advisors and helping create “15 millionaires,” he hopes to create compounding community uplift. Notable Quotes On financial empowerment “I want people to dream again. We’re not dreaming no more—we’re living because of obligation.” “When we’re born we look like our parents, but when we die, we look like our decisions.” On career purpose “I help people who are successful but career‑disturbed. They want more.” On money habits “Look at your last three months of spending. Your money tells you what your real priorities are.” On investing and crypto “People want to skip steps… going from no savings straight to crypto.” “If you don’t understand it, maybe it’s not time for you to invest in it.” On mentorship “To give someone feedback without relationship is harassment.” “Let me hear your story… mentorship starts with knowing the inner person.” On diversity and empowerment “Their growth strategy is diversity… whole markets haven’t even been called on yet.” On community and identity “We’re special… if we regain that confidence and approach the marketplace with courage, everything changes.” On wealth-building reality “You have to choose your hard. Hard now or hard later.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people have no idea that the shares in their 401k are being lent out to hedge funds, that their pension is invested in private credit funds currently locking investors out, and that the largest asset manager in the world is effectively in the red once you strip away goodwill and assets under management.In this episode, Hans brings back the Phoenician League's Joe Withrow to break down why the quality of your capital matters more than the quantity, a concept inspired by economist Ryan Griggs. They start by unpacking the private credit bubble, how Blue Owl gated its fund, and why the contagion risk reaches into your 401k and pension whether you know it or not. Then they walk through a scorecard of asset characteristics and make the case that true diversification means owning assets across a range of purposes, not just stocks in different industries.Chapters: 00:00 - Opening and Joe Withrow introduction 04:50 - Private credit is all over the news and here's why it matters 06:00 - Ryan Griggs and the concept: quality vs. quantity of capital 09:25 - What is private credit and how it grew from $250B to $3T 14:55 - Blue Owl gates its fund and contagion spreads 19:00 - Evergreen funds, fractional reserve dynamics, and the Ponzi comparison 23:25 - Your index fund shares are being lent to hedge funds 26:30 - Quality vs. quantity: building the asset scorecard 30:10 - Why insurance companies are the longest-surviving businesses in America 34:35 - Measuring the S&P 500 in gold: still down from 1999 39:30 - DOGE as the financial Epstein files 41:20 - Joe's equity portfolio: performance, composition, and why it's only 10-12% of his assets 49:45 - Gold, UPMA, and transporting value through time 52:25 - Bitcoin as collateral and birthing new assets from existing ones 1:00:35 - Real estate: cash flow over speculation 1:04:35 - Your home as an asset and the six-month self-sufficiency benchmark 1:10:55 - Investing is about ownership, not making more dollars 1:13:05 - BlackRock's balance sheet: the house of cards underneath $14T in AUM 1:15:25 - It's not as safe as you think to just buy VTSAX and chillKey Takeaways:Quality of capital matters more than quantity. Ryan Griggs coined the phrase, and it reframes the entire conversation. An asset that checks one box really well but leaves you exposed everywhere else is low-quality capital no matter how big the number beside it. Your financial strategy should score well across a range of attributes, not just returns.Private credit is a $2-3 trillion shadow lending market that touches your retirement whether you know it or not. Hedge funds, pensions, 401k plans, and index funds are all connected to this market. Blue Owl gated its fund entirely, and the contagion is spreading to names like Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and BlackRock. When your money is trapped in a private credit fund, there is no FDIC and no guarantee you get it back.Your index fund shares are not just sitting there. Vanguard and other fund managers lend your shares to hedge funds for short selling and collect fees for doing it. If those hedge funds face a liquidity crisis from private credit blowing up, and they cannot return the borrowed shares, the value of your underlying portfolio takes the hit.
This situation says a lot more than just celebrity drama—it reveals how money, relationships, and life choices collide in ways most people never talk about.In this video, we break down the viral moment where Michael B. Jordan responds after being called “corny,” and why a woman could be upset about something as major as being given a house. On the surface, it sounds crazy. But when you look deeper, it's really about expectations, communication, financial alignment, and emotional intelligence.This ties directly into wealth building and investing because your financial decisions are never just about money—they're about values. Buying a home, investing in assets, or building wealth for your family all require alignment with the people around you. If your partner doesn't share your vision, even a blessing can feel like a burden.Too many people think financial success is just about making money. It's not. It's about making the right decisions, with the right people, at the right time. One bad relationship or poor communication around money can destroy years of financial progress. On the other hand, strong financial partnership can accelerate wealth, stability, and generational success.In this breakdown, we connect the dots between relationships, emotional reactions, and financial outcomes—because smart investing starts with smart thinking and smart life choices.Dr. Boyce Watkins is a Finance PhD and founder of The Black Business School, where he has helped millions of people learn to invest and build family wealth.

Most women think confidence in investing comes from predicting what the market will do next, but that's not actually what creates real certainty. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening when markets are falling and how to build unshakable confidence in your portfolio - even when everything feels uncertain. I share the two core reasons I never worry about my investments, what falling prices really mean (and why they can signal completely opposite things), and the key mindset shift that separates confident investors from everyone else. Tune in to learn: The two reasons why I actually never worry about my investments The two reasons prices are falling right now and why they mean totally opposite things The two things people collapse around investing and how separating them will set you free How to create unshakable confidence in your portfolio regardless of what the market is doing The unusual signal that indicates how confident you actually are in your strategy

FF: Logical Investing How do you know what to buy and when to buy it? How do you assess the risk in assets before you buy? Today we talk about both assets we invest in and at least one investment we want to stay away from. We give you questions to ask yourself as well as walk you through what we ask ourselves when looking at investments. We cover gold, silver, Bitcoin, real estate, junior mining stocks, and even a tokenized new product that we consider to be speculative and risky. We discuss how investing for the short term can be different than investing for the long term. The value you create can be stored in hard assets, and only you can decide which assets are the best for your needs. In this episode, we give you some of the tools and questions you need to make better decisions for yourself and your future!

In today's episode, we sit down with David Duong (Global Head of Institutional Research at Coinbase) to break down one of the biggest shifts happening in crypto… and why most investors haven't caught on yet. From new SEC + CFTC regulatory clarity to BlackRock's latest move into ETH, the foundation for the next phase of crypto is quietly being built. Meanwhile, institutions are increasing allocations, supply dynamics are tightening, and Ethereum could be setting up for a major reprice.~~~~~

Ken also explains a simple way to think about budgeting without turning it into a household argument, plus timing tips for Social Security and an overview of when a 401(k) rollover to an IRA may be worth considering - and when staying in an employer plan might make more sense.If you're over 50 and planning your next chapter, share this with a friend who's also getting close to retirement.0:00 Retirement checklist intro, why checklists work0:40 Step 1: Decide where you plan to live2:10 Step 2: Plan what you'll do in retirement3:35 Step 3: Pay off your mortgage and reduce debt4:55 Step 4: Consider reducing investment risk near retirement6:05 Step 5: Know your retirement income sources7:25 Step 6: Healthcare planning, avoid gaps in coverage8:45 Step 7: Budgeting without the household argument10:10 Shark story: why expenses adapt to the “pool size”11:25 Step 8: Apply for Social Security three months early11:55 Step 9: Consider a 401(k) rollover to an IRA, case by case12:25 Wrap-up and next stepsRPOA Advisors, Inc.

Minnesotans could pay upward of $20 billion every year in a few decades if the state doesn't adapt to climate change, according to a new study from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.The Legislature-mandated report, which was released Monday, March 16, says the costs of not adapting to the warming climate are higher than if the state began to make necessary changes.Minnesota has seen heavier rainfall, smokier air and warmer summers in recent years as a result of climate change, according to the report.“Investing in adaptation reduces costly risks to the state and its residents,” the report said.If the state invests more in climate projects, it could cost $2.5 billion to $4.1 billion annually, considerably less than what the long-term negative effects are expected to cost Minnesota. Expenses for failure to adapt could balloon up to $57 billion by 2070.After a bill to lower license tab fees failed in the Minnesota House transportation committee, the cost is unlikely to go down anytime soon.In 2023, the legislature increased the tax rate for license tab fees, while at the same time dramatically slowing the rate of depreciation, so you pay a higher rate on an artificially high valuation on your vehicle.There's a bill in the house to lower the license tab tax rate from 1.575% of your vehicle's value to 1.285%, while also speeding up the depreciation of your car.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Her story shows how a few focused years can unlock decades of flexibility and control.
