How Do We Shape Future Generations Well?   Nancy French returns to The Good Faith Podcast with host Curtis Chang for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about how grandparenting reshapes your view of hope, kids and screens, grief, and what's worth doing with the time you have—even is that just means "robbing a bank with a Barbie." This conversation isn't just for grandparents: it's for anyone mentoring, parenting, teaching, or influencing the next generation, with practical wisdom on choosing connection, naming loss honestly, and creating space for kids to grow "analog" and resilient. Nancy also explains why legacy and being remembered aren't the point—what matters is faithfully loving the people in front of you and passing on stability, courage, and hope that outlasts you.   02:05 - Why Did Nancy Choose a Year as Primary Caregiver To Her Grandpkids? 07:44 - No screens and the value of analog, imaginative play. 13:15 - Preserving Children's Natural Hope  14:26 - Navigating Difficult Topics with Children  17:14 - The Value of Letting Children Experience Loss  23:09 - Creativity and Storytelling with Grandchildren  25:51 - Introducing Real-World Conflicts in Play  29:19 - Grandparents as Links to Family Legacy  34:53 - George Eliot: The Value of Unremembered Acts  36:18 - Living with Cancer and Embracing the Present  42:30 - Grandparenting from a Distance  45:27 - Encouragement to Focus on fun, connection, and Presence Rather Than Legacy   Episode Companion: A Guide for Grandparents & All Those Influencing The Next Generation   Mentioned In This Episode: Demographic research: Grandchildren's spatial proximity to grandparents and intergenerational support in the United States Jennifer F.

Jason O. Harris is a retired Lieutenant Colonel, fourth-generation service member, professional pilot, best-selling author, and nationally sought-after keynote speaker on trust and leadership. Jason spent nearly three decades serving our country in the U.S. Air Force, flying 11 combat deployments and more than 470 combat sorties, ultimately commanding a Boeing KC-46 Tanker Aircraft Squadron. He carries those hard-earned lessons beyond the cockpit and into boardrooms, equipping leaders and teams to build trust, accountability, and peak performance when it matters most. Today, Jason shares how trust is built under pressure, why leadership is revealed in moments of uncertainty, and what it truly means to "make the dash count." He opens up about growing up in chaos, learning the power of environment and influence early in life, and how high-risk combat missions shaped his belief that you don't rise to the occasion… you fall to the level of your training. My friends, if you're craving clarity in your leadership, confidence in your decisions, or stronger relationships at work and at home, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with a renewed understanding of how trust is earned, practical ways to show up with intention, and a powerful reminder that your presence matters more than you think.

Every January, millions of people set fresh goals: eat healthier, exercise more, or get their finances in better shape. These are good and worthy aims. Yet studies consistently show that most resolutions fade within a few weeks.So if this is the year you want to steward money more wisely—get out of debt, save consistently, or live with greater margin—what actually helps habits last beyond January?The answer isn't more motivation. It's a better foundation.Why Good Intentions Aren't EnoughResolutions often fail for predictable reasons. We set goals that are vague or unrealistic. We don't connect them to a meaningful “why.” Or we jump in without a system to support change. When life gets busy or discouraging—as it always does—old habits quickly take over.If you've ever tried to stick to a spending plan, curb impulse purchases, or make steady progress on debt, you know those difficult moments will come. Lasting change doesn't happen by hoping harder. It happens when old patterns are replaced with new, intentional habits.The Power of a PlanOne of the most common reasons financial resolutions fail is simple: we try to change without a plan. But you can't hope your way into better money habits.A spending plan turns good intentions into clear, practical choices. It gives your money direction and helps automate progress so your goals become part of everyday life—not just something you think about when motivation is high.More than that, a plan allows you to steward what God has entrusted to you with purpose and clarity, rather than relying on willpower alone.Accountability Makes Progress StickWe were never meant to pursue growth in isolation. Accountability strengthens resolve and keeps discouragement from becoming defeat.Invite a trusted friend to check in with you regularly. Make it a family goal to reduce spending or save consistently. Celebrate wins together—and when you fall short, don't quit. Reset and keep going.Stewardship is a journey, not a single moment of success.Willpower Isn't Enough—You Need God's StrengthEven with a solid plan, many people still struggle to keep their resolutions. Often, it's because they're trying to do it all in their own strength.Lasting change requires spiritual power, not just discipline. Scripture reminds us of this truth:“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” — Hebrews 12:11New habits often feel uncomfortable at first. A budget can feel restrictive. Cutting back can feel frustrating. Saying no to impulse purchases can feel like a sacrifice. But God promises that discipline rooted in faith produces something beautiful over time—peace, stability, and a life aligned with His wisdom.That's why prayer matters. Ask God to reshape your desires, guide your decisions, and strengthen you when the novelty wears off. If you're married, pray together, inviting the Lord to give you unity as you pursue shared financial goals.Build S.M.A.R.T. Financial GoalsOnce your plans are grounded in prayer, structure matters. One of the most effective ways to build that structure is by setting S.M.A.R.T. financial goals—goals that are:SpecificDon't say, “I want to save more.” Say, “I will save $100 each month.” Clear goals are easier to follow.MeasurableTracking progress keeps you motivated. Seeing balances change and debt shrink builds momentum.AchievableDon't expect to undo years of financial strain in a few weeks. Small wins compound over time—and they prevent discouragement.RealisticDream boldly, but plan honestly. Your goals should reflect your actual income and expenses—not depend on debt to fill the gaps.TimelyEvery goal needs a timeframe. Whether you're saving, paying down debt, or building margin, set milestones and review your plan regularly to adjust and keep moving forward.A Better Measure of SuccessAs you set financial goals for the new year, remember that every number tells a story—about God's provision, your heart's priorities, and the opportunities He gives you to bless others.Success isn't measured by how much you accumulate, but by how clearly your finances point to Jesus as your ultimate treasure.If you'd like help building habits that last, the FaithFi app is designed to help you create a plan, track progress, and stay encouraged along the way.

His wages are now being garnished, and he's worried about losing his home and damaging his credit. His wife ran up the debt without his knowledge. Is there any advice I can give him? Would filing for bankruptcy stop the wage garnishment, or is it too late since the case is already in court?I set up a TreasuryDirect account, but can't figure out how to convert my paper I Bonds to electronic form. The website isn't clear about how to add them. What steps do I need to take to convert them?My wife and I just turned 64, and both work at the same Christian school.

I met him at Kevin King's, $1 Billion Seller summit, and he's going to have a lot of knowledge to share with us. I'm going to dive in like immediately to what was mentioned in your bio. You had your account suspended. You had you ran into 400 K of debt and loans, but you've kind of come out the other end and you're you're crushing it right now on Amazon. So tell me, Brad, what happened with the account suspension?Brad 00:00:33  So I, I was doing, retail arbitrage and I got, I got really into it. it it was actually kind of unique. It started off, where I was, I, I was really into eBay growing up, so I was always selling stuff, just like as a kid throughout the house, whether it was mine or not. I was grabbing, like, antiques from the basement and, like, selling stuff out of the garage. And I think that's where I got kind of, you know, introduced to e-commerce and kind of obsessed so that that kind of was always on the side.Brad 00:01:11  And I was doing that through grade school, high school, and then into college. And I learned about Amazon FBA and I think 2012. and as an eBay guy, it was like blew me away because I was, you know, the guy waiting in line at the, at the post office and having to deal with customers. So the fact that you could just send a bunch of items in and Amazon will ship it and take care of customer service was very appealing to me. So I started, I just started watching videos and the easiest way to start, which I don't know how many people really started out like this, but I'm sure some. But I was going into, you know, odd lots and Walmarts and just buying toys or whatever I could find. And essentially I was just kind of learning that process. so, you know, that was a good way to, like, get my feet wet into Amazon FBA. and then, you know, life kind of happened where that was put off to the side.Brad 00:02:19  I was in the corporate world for a while. not doing very well. I just, was not very passionate about what I was doing, and, I got a call from a buddy. I was living in South Florida. I'm from Ohio originally, and, I got fired from one job. You know, I was working for good companies. They were, like, fortune 500 companies. And I kind of noticed right away that the people that were successful were extremely passionate about the company, and they had just drank the Kool-Aid. And I just did. I just didn't care, really. I thought our products were overpriced, which is not the mentality that you want to have when you're trying to sell something. so I was just kind of, just doing enough not to get fired. And my friend, in Columbus had called me and said, hey, I just bought this epoxy coating company. So what we're doing is we're installing, like, showroom floors in garages. You know, the the garages in Columbus or the Midwest are all cracked and spoiled.Brad 00:03:34  so, you know, this was December and he was like, hey, I can't pay you that much, but, you know, this will be our company. and I'll share profits with you. So I wasn't really doing much. You know, in terms of growing personally or professionally, although I was in South Florida, which was pretty cool for for an Ohio guy. Sure. I took him up on it, and I remember it was December. I go from this cushy sales job in South Florida. Even though I didn't like it. And then all of a sudden, I am installing, garage floors in the suburbs of Columbus. In December, we're using, like, heaters to keep ourselves warm. And the funny thing was, I actually was enjoying it more, because it was ours. So that kind of, like, turned on the light that, you know, the way that I'm going to be successful is if I'm doing something for myself, like, or as a team. And that kind of drew me back to this e-commerce stuff.Brad 00:04:36  and like I was saying, I had learned about, the Amazon FBA and I had a this background in eBay. So I just kind of I remember in one of your podcasts, you were talking about how after work, you would go home and just watch videos. yeah. Because you, you know, you kind of saw that as a way out. But, you know, what you have to do is you have to put in the time. You know, even after a long day of work when most people are just watching TV or they want to decompress. I was just drawn to just scanning eBay, you know, looking at Amazon. And I was like, I was wondering if there was an opportunity for products that I could buy on eBay and flip on Amazon. And I kind of just somehow stumbled upon this, category of high end skincare. And I was noticing that there was these really, like, high end brands that were selling for, you know, almost nothing on eBay because, li...

In this episode, Kim Olver opens the new year with a deeply reflective and practical solo conversation on self-discovery, responsibility, and what it truly means to live Mental Freedom®—not as a concept, but as a daily practice.Rather than sharing dozens of surface-level insights, Kim slows down to explore 10 deeply integrated lessons from 2025 that she is carrying into 2026. These lessons are grounded in Choice Theory, emotional maturity, and lived experience, addressing themes such as personal responsibility, unmet needs, conflict, boundaries, power struggles, emotional regulation, and authentic connection.Throughout the episode, Kim examines how blame quietly erodes freedom, how unmet needs often sit beneath recurring conflict, and why the stories we tell ourselves can either imprison us or restore our sense of choice. She also explores the difference between compromise and negotiation in relationships, the role of boundaries in protecting connection, and why peace does not require other people to change.This episode is especially meaningful for listeners who are interested in personal growth, relationships, coaching, emotional responsibility, and Mental Freedom® principles, as well as anyone entering a new year wanting to live more consciously rather than chasing perfection.Listeners are invited to reflect honestly on where they may be waiting for others to change, where they have been giving away responsibility, and which of these lessons they are ready to practice more consistently in 2026.This is not an episode about self-improvement through willpower—it's about self-leadership through choice, clarity, and returning again and again to what you already know to be true.

In today's episode, I'm reflecting on the lessons I would tell myself if I could go back one year, based on everything 2025 taught me. I share insights around overpacking my schedule, nervous system regulation, and creating space to feel more alive instead of constantly productive. We talk about leadership, team, content, capacity, and why refinement, simplicity, and presence became just as important as growth. If you're in a season of reflection, questioning what's next, or craving clarity without burnout, this episode will help you step into the new year with grounded intention and trust in the unknown.

Some years offer more than others from a learning standpoint and we can both say that 2025 was probably our biggest learning year to date. Learning is not always easy, it is often uncomfortable, and the lessons almost always come at very bad times. But we are grateful to learn them, grow from them, and evolve as people. In this episode, we reflect on our year and what we are taking forward as we celebrate turning a new calendar page into 2026.

A new year often inspires fresh resolve. We plan more carefully, set ambitious goals, and commit to making this time different. But year after year, many resolutions quietly fade—not because people lack sincerity, but because most change efforts rely on willpower alone.That's where a deeper, more biblical approach to change comes in.Today on Faith & Finance, I sat down with Taylor Standridge, Production Manager at FaithFi and lead writer of Our Ultimate Treasure and Look at the Sparrows, to explore why so many resolutions fail—and what Scripture reveals about change that truly lasts.Why Willpower Isn't EnoughTaylor explained that most resolutions fade because they're built on effort rather than formation.“Willpower is a limited resource,” Taylor said. “We assume that if we just try harder or become more disciplined, we'll finally become the person we want to be. But once motivation wears off, or life gets stressful, old patterns take over.”According to Taylor, the problem isn't that people set bad goals—it's that they try to change actions without addressing identity. Without a deeper shift in what we value and who we believe we are, even the best intentions eventually lose momentum.“We may change what we do for a while,” Taylor said, “but if we don't change the kind of person we're becoming, those changes won't last.”Behavior Change vs. Identity TransformationTaylor drew a helpful distinction between modifying behavior and experiencing true transformation.“Behavior change is about effort—showing up, pushing through, saying no,” he said. “But identity transformation reshapes our desires and motivations. It changes why we choose what we choose.”That's why FaithFi emphasizes the idea that behavior follows belief. When change focuses only on habits, goals often end once they're achieved. But when change is rooted in identity, it cultivates a way of life that continues beyond any milestone.“It's the difference between acting healthy and becoming the kind of person who naturally chooses health,” Taylor explained.How Identity Changes the Way We Set GoalsTo illustrate, Taylor pointed to health resolutions—one of the most common goals people set each year.“A behavior-based goal might be, ‘I want to lose 20 pounds,'” Taylor said. “That's fine—but once the weight is gone, the motivation often disappears.”An identity-based goal asks a deeper question: What kind of person do I want to become?“When someone says, ‘I want to honor God by caring for the body He's given me,' everything changes,” Taylor said. “Now the goal isn't just a number—it's a lifestyle.”Identity-driven goals last because they're rooted in purpose, not pressure.Applying Identity to Financial ResolutionsTaylor said this approach is especially powerful when applied to financial goals.“Let's say someone wants to pay off $20,000 in debt,” he said. “That's a great goal—but it becomes far more meaningful when it's rooted in identity.”Instead of focusing solely on eliminating debt, Taylor encouraged believers to frame their financial goals around stewardship.“When someone says, ‘I want to be a wise steward so I can live with freedom and give generously,' the goal becomes formative,” he explained. “That identity continues shaping decisions long after the debt is gone.”According to Taylor, identity-based stewardship influences spending, saving, giving, and long-term financial faithfulness—not just one year's resolution.Scripture Shows That Change Starts in the HeartTaylor pointed out that this inward-first approach isn't a modern idea—it's woven throughout Scripture.“God has always been after our hearts, not just our habits,” Taylor said. “Israel had clear commands, but having the law wasn't enough. Their hearts were unchanged, so their lives were unchanged.”That's why God promised to give His people a new heart and a new spirit. Taylor noted that Jesus echoed this truth when He taught that a tree is known by its fruit—what we produce flows from who we are.“God isn't impressed by performance alone,” Taylor said. “He desires people who trust Him and live out of that trust.”The Holy Spirit Makes Lasting Change PossibleTaylor emphasized that true transformation is not self-generated—it's Spirit-empowered.“External rules can restrain behavior, but they can't renew desires,” he said. “The new heart God gives doesn't just help us try harder—it reorders what we love.”Under the new covenant, believers don't rely on their own strength to change. Instead, the Holy Spirit reshapes desires and produces fruit like self-control, patience, and faithfulness.“These qualities are called the fruit of the Spirit for a reason,” Taylor said. “They grow naturally as we remain rooted in Christ.”As the new year begins, Taylor encouraged believers to start with prayerful reflection rather than immediate goal-setting.“Ask, ‘Lord, where are You inviting growth in my life?'” he said. “Pay attention to holy dissatisfaction—the places where God is gently nudging you toward change.”Taylor also encouraged seeking wisdom from Scripture and trusted believers, noting that identity is not something we invent, but something God forms in us.“The goal is alignment,” he said. “Not creating a new identity, but embracing the one God is already shaping through His Spirit.”Let Goals Flow from IdentityOnce identity is clear, Taylor said goals become expressions—not endpoints.“If you want to be a faithful steward, build practices that reflect that,” he said. “Budget, automate savings, grow in generosity. If you want to be healthier, choose routines that align with that identity.”Taylor emphasized the value of structure and measurable goals, noting that tools such as progress tracking and target-setting drive accountability. But he stressed that numbers should never become the foundation of change.“Goals can be reached. Circumstances can shift,” Taylor said. “Identity is what lasts.” In closing, Taylor offered a simple but powerful encouragement.“Start small. Trust the Holy Spirit. Focus on faithfulness, not perfection,” he said. “You're not pursuing change alone. The God who calls you to transformation walks with you and delights in your growth.”When resolutions flow from who God is shaping us to be, they don't just last for a year—they shape us for a lifetime.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I took out a Parent PLUS loan for my son years ago, and after falling behind, the balance has grown to about $20,000. I'm a few years from retirement and can't afford to carry this debt into retirement.

As we close out 2025, I'm pressing rewind and revisiting the episode where I named the single biggest lesson I wanted to carry into the new year. Consider this a time capsule from the end of 2024—a look at what I believed mattered most and the mindset I was determined to adopt. This week, you'll hear that original episode. Next week, I'll return with a frank reflection on how it played out, what surprised me, and the insights you can use as you prepare for your own year ahead.

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to have a very honest conversation—one rooted in experience, not perfection. In this episode, I'm reflecting alongside another seasoned firm owner, Katie Decker Erickson, on the mistakes we've made, the lessons we learned the hard way, and what actually matters when you're trying to move your business forward with clarity instead of chaos. This isn't about beating yourself up for what didn't work. It's about looking back clearly—without ego or shame—so you can recalibrate your direction, trust yourself again, and make smarter decisions as you head into 2026. In this episode, I talk about: Why you can't change direction in your business without honestly looking in the rearview mirror How growing just for the sake of growth often leads to stress, misalignment, and regret Why busyness, headcount, and "looking successful" can hide deeper operational problems The real cost of ignoring your intuition—and why it always shows up eventually How intuition becomes powerful when it's supported by data, not separated from it Why avoiding your numbers only creates bigger problems down the road What I call the "toll of the soul," and why some profitable work still isn't worth it How letting go sooner—clients, projects, models, or people—can lead to faster alignment Why leadership requires hard conversations, not avoidance How reflection is meant to recalibrate your business, not keep you stuck in regret This episode is for designers who know something needs to change—but don't want to burn everything down to make it happen. My hope is that this conversation helps you look at your business with more honesty, more confidence, and a lot more self-trust as you step into what's next. You don't need to have all the answers for 2026 right now. But you do need to be willing to look clearly at where you've been—so you can choose where you're going on purpose. If you're ready to move forward with clarity instead of guesswork, this episode is for you.

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy look back at the questions they thought would define Georgia politics in 2025 and how events actually unfolded.

The episode also looks ahead to 2026, including Governor Brian Kemp's decision not to run for U.S. Senate, the crowded Republican field that followed, and why Democrats see new opportunities heading into the next election cycle.

What if I told you you're already it?In this soul-awakening solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks the deeper science and spirit of manifestation through the lens of eternal life wisdom, frequency embodiment, and quantum materialization. This isn't about the “law of attraction” as you've heard it. It's about becoming the frequency of what you seek—and remembering that what you seek is already seeking you.From revealing why traditional manifestation methods often fall short to decoding the sacred mechanics of the Kathara Grid, base pulse rhythm, and liquid light DNA, Dr. Lee takes us on a multidimensional deep dive into how eternal source energy flows—and how we can align with it to co-create a new reality from the inside out.This episode explores radical truths about identity, divine embodiment, and the true power of your scalar sound tones and water—the memory carrier of your eternal self.

Ted Weisberg gives traders lessons learned over a 64-year career on Wall Street. You have to have tech in your portfolio, he argues, saying that's “where the growth will be, where the earnings will be.” He also points to market breadth in financials and energy: “there are opportunities everywhere.” He likes United Airlines (UAL), Chubb (CB), Meta Platforms (META), and Bank of America (BAC).

In this conversation, I break down the state of cybersecurity heading into 2025—and it's not pretty. Ransomware isn't “ramping up,” it's eating the market alive, while too many organizations are still betting their future on outdated controls, checkbox compliance, and the fantasy that perimeter security is a strategy. I call out the continued failure of traditional security models, the uncomfortable reality of high-profile vendor missteps, and the industry's habit of confusing tool sprawl with actual risk reduction.My bottom line is simple: Zero Trust isn't a buzzword; it's the only approach that aligns with how modern environments actually operate—cloud-first, identity-driven, and constantly under attack. If you want real improvement, start treating identity like the control plane, tighten your cloud and endpoint fundamentals, get serious visibility into what's connecting and what's executing, and stop pretending “prevention” alone is a plan. Initial access is going to happen—so engineer for containment and resiliency. I wrap up with practical steps you can apply immediately to harden posture and quit treating cyber defense like a yearly renewal rather than a continuous operational discipline.TakeawaysRansomware incidents surged in 2025, impacting critical infrastructure.Traditional defenses are failing to contain ransomware attacks.Using a password manager is essential for security.Cybercrime costs are projected to reach $10 trillion by 2025.Misconfigurations in cloud services are a major risk factor.Identity management is a solvable problem that needs attention.Vendors in cybersecurity are not immune to breaches.Organizations should partner with service providers for cybersecurity.Research and data should guide cybersecurity strategies.A proactive approach is necessary to mitigate cyber threats.
