J.I. Packer once wrote, “What matters in life is not what you make of it, but what God makes of it for you.” That contrast becomes especially clear when it comes to money. When circumstances shift, and uncertainty rises, the quiet question surfaces: Will there be enough? Our culture tells us peace comes through self-provision—earning more, saving more, planning better. But Scripture invites us into a different posture: resting in a Father who provides. Look at the Birds: Provision Begins with Relationship In Matthew 6:26, Jesus directs our attention upward: “Look at the birds of the air…your heavenly Father feeds them.” Birds don't build financial models or stockpile reserves. Yet God sustains them. Jesus' point isn't irresponsibility—it's relationship. Behind every plan, paycheck, and effort stands a God who sees, knows, and provides. Throughout Scripture, this truth repeats like a steady drumbeat: Abraham climbs Mount Moriah in obedience, and God provides a ram (Genesis 22:13–14). The widow of Zarephath runs out of resources, and God sustains her jar of flour and jug of oil (1 Kings 17:14–16). Peter wonders how to pay the temple tax, and Jesus provides the exact coin in a fish's mouth (Matthew 17:27). From Genesis to Revelation, God's provision is precise, purposeful, and personal. Every Need, Not Every Wish Paul echoes this promise in Philippians 4:19: “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Notice what Paul doesn't say. He doesn't promise every want, preference, or wish list. He promises to meet every need. And that supply doesn't flow from our economy, our income, or our investments—it flows from God's riches. Provision is not sourced in us. It's sourced in Him. Jesus Is Our Provision The truth goes even deeper. Jesus doesn't just provide—He is our provision. In John 6:35, He says, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger.” Peace, then, is not found in financial comfort or problem-free living. It's found in the presence of Christ. When we forget this, we drift into two familiar traps: Fear: What if there isn't enough? Self-reliance: I'll make sure there's enough. Both pull us away from trust. The Source Behind Everything We Have Scripture reminds us that God provides not only resources but the ability to obtain them. Moses tells Israel, “Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:18). Our skills, opportunities, work ethic, and even our capacity to earn—all come from Him. When that truth settles in, something shifts. Financial security stops being something we manufacture and becomes something we receive. Trusting God as provider doesn't lead to inactivity. It frees us to work, plan, save, and give with joy. Our efforts become acts of stewardship rather than self-provision. Money becomes a place of spiritual formation rather than fear. That's why Jesus teaches us to pray for “daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). Not because God lacks resources—but because our hearts need daily dependence. Daily bread cultivates daily trust. Where Are You Looking for Provision? Take a moment to ask: Am I looking to my paycheck for security? My savings? My plans for the future? Or the hand of a Father who feeds the birds and calls me His child? Whether you're in a season of abundance or a season of need, Jesus doesn't just promise provision—He gives Himself. And He invites you to trust Him day by day. When we trade fear for faith, striving for surrender, and self-reliance for dependence, we discover the deep joy of resting in a Father who sees and provides.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 65 and plan to work for another 5 to 6 years. I have $65,000 in a Roth IRA that hasn't been invested. I've heard suggestions ranging from corporate bonds and CDs to an ETF. How should I think about investing this money? I'm 60, with a $700,000 pension lump sum, and am considering a buffered-income variable annuity for a few years before taking withdrawals. Is that a wise move? My husband and I are pastors with small 401(k)s. We're curious about crypto—can we move funds directly from a 401(k) to invest in it, and is that advisable? When financing a car, is it better for a married couple to put the loan in one spouse's name or both—and does that change later in life?

Momentum isn't created by certainty — it's created by tipping the right small action:“I don't need the whole plan. I need the first move.”“Big goals freeze people. Small, aligned steps free them.”“The first domino works because it's intentional and you've set up a few more.”See: BoldEncounters.TV and…Tim Packer: https://www.youtube.com/c/timpackerfineartsTim Packer has built massive media—platform success, and sold fine his art collections at impressive levels — but his most transferable insight isn't about growth strategy. It's about momentum psychology.In this conversation, Tim breaks down why high-capacity professionals stall. Why clarity rarely comes before motion. Why waiting for the “right time” quietly erodes confidence. And why both artists and operators succeed the same way — by committing to a meaningful first action and letting force compound.If you're leading your own work and feel stuck between ambition and execution, this episode reframes how progress actually works.If you're leading an organization and watching capable people hesitate, Tim offers a simple lens for unlocking forward motion without burnout.Inside this episode:• Why momentum beats motivation• How scale can secretly slow progress• The psychology behind small decisive action• Why clarity follows movement — not the other way around• How to identify your first aligned dominoGo Deeper — Premium Action PlanThis week's Premium Action Plan turns Tim's insights into execution.• Identify one area where you've been waiting for clarity• Define the smallest aligned action available• Remove one friction point that delays starting• Execute daily for five focused minutes• Measure what shifted after seven daysPremium includes action plans, extended guest breakdowns, exclusive series, peer events, and ad-free listening.You don't need more certainty.You need motion in the right direction.Do you feel stuck between where you are… and who you're meant to become?Lead your own work — or the organization you steward — with intention.BoldEncounters.TVEsprit Magnum Avoda,Mark S.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Tim Packer, a celebrated Canadian artist, former police detective, and creative business mentor whose story is as unlikely as it is inspiring. From the time Tim was 12 years old, he knew he wanted to be an artist. He took commercial art in high school, studied graphic design in college, and was so eager to get started that he was sitting in a college classroom at 17. But after two years of entry-level jobs in the industry that left him feeling like he just didn't have what it took, Tim did something that would define the next two decades of his life. He joined the Toronto Police Force, where he spent 18 years, eventually working as a fraud detective in the commercial crime unit investigating cases over two million dollars. Ty and Tim dig deep into the moment that changed everything, a single article Tim read featuring Canadian artist Harley Brown, who made a bold claim that talent isn't something you're born with, it's something you build. Tim didn't fully believe it at first, but he made a deal with himself to act as though he did for one year. He committed to painting three times a week, stopped avoiding the things he wasn't good at, and started attacking his weaknesses like a detective working a case. By the end of that year, the results were undeniable. Within three years, the conversation with his wife had shifted from if he would leave the police force to paint full-time, to when. In 2000, he cashed in his pension and never looked back. But the first five years were anything but a highlight reel. Tim opens up about the struggle of figuring out not just the art, but the business of art, and how every few months he was convinced the conversation about putting the suit back on was right around the corner. It wasn't until year five that he found his voice and things truly took off, culminating in a gallery opening in Toronto in 2015 that looked like something out of a movie, with people lined up at the door, red dots going up on every painting, and Tim realizing he was on track to make over a quarter million dollars that year from his art alone. And in that moment of success, what hit him wasn't pride. It was responsibility. That responsibility led Tim to start his YouTube channel, sharing everything he'd learned with artists who were struggling the way he once had. Then in 2020, after a pair of near-death experiences with a thyroid condition left him lying on a gurney with his wife by his side, Tim came away with one nagging regret. He'd been playing it safe with his teaching. He launched the Tim Packer Art Academy, which has since helped over 10,000 artists, and recently released his book, You Can Sell Your Art, with one clear mission: helping artists make a living doing what they love. Ty and Tim also get into the power of the word yet, the danger of comparing your chapter one to someone else's chapter thirty, the myth that doing what you love means you'll never work a day in your life, and why being an artist and being an entrepreneur are exactly the same thing. Tim's message is clear and it hits hard: talent is not a gift you either have or you don't. It is the sum total of your skills, knowledge, experience, and creativity, and every single one of those things can be developed, earned, and grown without a ceiling. If you've ever talked yourself out of a dream because you didn't think you were good enough, this episode is exactly what you need to hear. As always, we would like to hear from you!

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.

The Super Bowl is over, and honestly? Nobody cared — and that might be the most interesting takeaway of all. Ryan and the callers break down one of the most forgettable Super Bowls in recent memory, where the Seahawks' terrifying defense delivered a second straight year of the same message: trenches win championships.

Counterfeits are dangerous precisely because they look convincing. The same is true of spiritual sayings that sound biblical but quietly distort how we think about God, stewardship, and money.Many believers can quote phrases that feel deeply spiritual—comforting even—but when placed under the light of Scripture, they don't actually appear there at all. Or worse, they twist what Scripture truly says. These “counterfeit verses” often shape how we view success, risk, provision, and dependence on God without us even realizing it.To explore this issue, we sat down with Taylor Standridge, Production Manager of FaithFi and a regular contributor to Faithful Steward. Taylor is also the lead writer behind Look at the Sparrows and Our Ultimate Treasure. In his recent article, Counterfeit Verses: How to Spot The Sayings That Aren't in the Bible, Taylor traces this problem all the way back to the beginning.“Did God Really Say?”—The First CounterfeitTaylor begins in Genesis 3, when the serpent approaches Eve with a deceptively subtle question: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1).This moment is critical because the enemy doesn't begin with an outright lie. Instead, he distorts what God has said and, in doing so, undermines God's character. The implication isn't merely that the command is questionable—but that God Himself may be withholding something good.Once Adam and Eve doubt God's goodness, disobedience follows naturally.That same pattern persists today. Many modern financial lies—whether cultural narratives or counterfeit verses—aren't blatant falsehoods. They're half-truths. They sound wise. They feel spiritual. And because they're close enough to the truth, they feel safe.Like a ship that veers off course by only one degree, the deviation seems harmless at first. But over time, it leads somewhere very different from what was intended.At the heart of every counterfeit is the same ancient question: Can God really be trusted?Counterfeit verses don't come with warning labels. They borrow biblical language, appeal to our emotions, and speak to real desires—hope, comfort, identity, and security.Sometimes they even quote Scripture, but rip it out of context.The danger isn't familiarity with Scripture—it's fragmented familiarity. When we know verses as slogans rather than as part of God's larger story, we become vulnerable to subtle distortions. The goal, however, isn't suspicion or cynicism. It's discernment—learning to recognize when a truth has been nudged just slightly off course.Studying the Real Thing: A Lesson from Counterfeit CurrencyTaylor uses a powerful illustration from the film Catch Me If You Can. Frank Abagnale Jr. succeeds as a forger not by inventing fake money from scratch, but by studying the real thing in obsessive detail—down to the ink, paper, and watermarks.Ironically, that expertise later makes him invaluable to the FBI.Banks don't train tellers by showing them every possible fake. They train them by handing them genuine currency until authenticity becomes instinctive.The same is true of Scripture. Discernment doesn't come from memorizing every error—it comes from knowing God's Word so deeply that when something sounds “almost right,” you can feel that it isn't.Common Counterfeit Verses That Shape Our View of Money“Money is the Root of All Evil”This misquote radically reshapes our theology of money. If money itself is evil, then wealth becomes suspicious, and stewardship feels compromising.But Scripture says something far more searching: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils” (1 Timothy 6:10).The issue isn't possession—it's devotion. Scripture doesn't demonize money; it disciples our hearts.“God Helps Those Who Help Themselves”This phrase flips the gospel upside down. It places self-sufficiency at the center and turns God into a backup plan.Biblically, grace always comes first. God meets us in our need, not our strength. Stewardship, then, isn't self-rescue—it's dependence. Jesus says it plainly: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).“God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle”This saying sounds comforting, but it places the burden of endurance squarely on our shoulders.Paul tells a different story: “We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength… so that we would not rely on ourselves but on God” (2 Corinthians 1:8–9).God often allows what we cannot handle so that we learn to rely on Him.“Let Go and Let God”This phrase requires nuance. Scripture does call us to trust—but never to passive disengagement.Faith and obedience always move together. Noah builds. Abraham goes. Ruth works. Grace empowers action; it doesn't replace it. As J. I. Packer once said, the Christian motto isn't “Let go and let God,” but “Trust God and get going.”Growing in Discernment Without FearDiscernment begins with familiarity. Counterfeits thrive when Scripture is reduced to slogans. But when we immerse ourselves in the full story of God's Word, we learn to recognize the Shepherd's voice (John 10:4).Community matters too. God designed us to learn truth together—through teaching, correction, and shared wisdom.The goal isn't paranoia. It's confidence. We don't spend our lives studying counterfeits—we anchor ourselves in truth, trusting the Spirit of God to alert us when something isn't from Him.If we want to steward money wisely, we must first steward God's truth faithfully. Because when we know what God has truly said, we're finally free to live—and steward—with clarity, confidence, and trust.———————————————————————————————————————Taylor Standridge's article “Counterfeit Verses: How to Spot The Sayings That Aren't in the Bible” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward, our quarterly magazine for FaithFi Partners.

In this episode, we read and summarize a popular post about the “soft life,” sent to us by a podcast listener. The post purports that the promises of wellness and self-care often depend on privilege and discretionary resources. Through a Christian lens, we ask whether an overemphasis on comfort actually forms resilient, virtuous people—or simply offers a means of avoidance. The conversation ultimately re-frames the good life not as something curated through the wellness industry, but as something made available to all through wisdom, sacrifice, and life together in the body of Christ.Resources mentioned in this episode:Knowing God by J. I. PackerThe Hidden Privilege in 'The Soft Life' No One Wants to Talk About by Israa Nasir (@well.guide on Instagram)

Mike McCarthy is putting the band back together in Pittsburgh, and it's starting to feel like a football love story. The Steelers have hired James Campen as offensive line coach, are interviewing Scott Tolzien for OC, and reportedly pursuing Aaron Rodgers—all former Packers with deep McCarthy connections. Meanwhile, Green Bay is losing some coaching talent as Nathaniel Hackett heads to Miami and Sean Mannion makes a meteoric rise to Eagles offensive coordinator. The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub has become a full-blown fiasco, with coaches threatening to skip the ceremony and LeBron James calling it "insane." Six Super Bowls apparently isn't enough when petty voters with personal grudges control the process—and it's making a mockery of every gold jacket in Canton.

Mike McCarthy's emotional Steelers introduction gets some love, Caleb Williams' lucky streak gets dissected, and Ryan finally unleashes on the special teams disaster that's been plaguing this team. Plus, callers weigh in on Rashan Gary's future, the mythical "Super Bowl window," and what kind of staff Gannon might assemble.

The Packers have their man. Jonathan Gannon is officially Green Bay's new defensive coordinator, and the call-in lines lit up with takes ranging from cautious optimism to full-throated endorsements. Callers and Ryan break down everything from Gannon's impressive coaching tree to that infamous sideline shove. The conversation dives deep into why Jim Leonard might have been a flight risk, Gannon's unique scouting background that could help evaluate talent, and the impressive list of respected coaches who kept wanting him on their staff. Mike McCarthy's emotional Steelers introduction gets some love, Caleb Williams' lucky streak gets dissected, and Ryan finally unleashes on the special teams disaster that's been plaguing this team. Plus, callers weigh in on Rashan Gary's future, the mythical "Super Bowl window," and what kind of staff Gannon might assemble.

An end to this brutal winter weather is coming. But not until this weekend. It's going to stay really cold for most of the week, but by Saturday, we should see temps creep back into the 20's. As we get back to reality today, we recapped this past weekend's Riverfront Revolt at the La Crosse Center, including Brian taking his clothes off. In the news this morning, the UW-Madison Chancellor is leaving for Columbia University, a deadly plane crash in Maine, a recall on Toyota trucks, and a Dodge County man is arrested on charges of incest & child sexual assault. In sports, the Pats & Seahawks won yesterday to advance to the Super Bowl, Giannis gets injured and will miss several weeks, the Bucks game got postponed due to the weather, the Badgers lost to USC yesterday to end their five-game winning streak, and a recap of UFC 324. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and we also reacted to Alex Honnold's climb to the top of that skyscraper in Taipei. Elsewhere in sports, the latest on the NFL coaching moves, a Packer player gets arrested at the airport, and Fernando Mendoza officially declares for the NFL draft. A crossing guard in Chicago is going viral after he helped some kids cross a flooded street, and a teacher who saved one of her students who was choking on a burger. The winter weather is the big story recently, so we played a winter storm-edition of "Did You Know?" And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who stole a harp & jumped in a river, some people are upset about allegedly "see-through" Lululemons, an assault with a pork chop, a new study that confirms "size matters", and a really drunk bus driver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Hunter and Autumn discuss Fellowship Denver Church's current sermon series on new life in Christ, a central New Testament theme that is often under-emphasized in contemporary American Christianity. They consider why understanding new birth is essential for experiencing the love of Jesus and the fullness of the Spirit, for pursuing spiritual formation and faithful living, and for understanding the nature of eternal life.Resources mentioned in this episode:Knowing God by J.

What did the Bears' defense do to stop Green Bay in the second half? Is Coleston Loveland already a top five tight end? Those questions and more answered on this episode of Buffone 55

Ryan dives deep into the murky waters of NFL media speculation after waking up to Adam Schefter's tweet suggesting the Packers will work to keep Matt LaFleur—only to realize it might just be recycled information from Ian Rapoport repackaged for clicks. This episode breaks down the possible interpretations of Schefter's report, examines whether any actual new information exists, and explores the fascinating challenge of evaluating coaching quality through inference—comparing it to how astrophysicists study black holes by observing what surrounds them rather than the object itself. Ryan also shares Micah Parsons' strong endorsement of LaFleur and analyzes the history of coaching trades in the NFL. Key discussion points include the mechanics of coaching contract negotiations, John Harbaugh speculation, reserve futures contract signings, and why Ryan now puts LaFleur's return at 80/20 odds. Whether you're frustrated or relieved about the coaching situation, this episode provides the analytical framework to understand what's actually happening versus what the media wants you to believe.

Allie tackles the explosive hell debate ignited by Kirk Cameron in which he wades into annihilationism, which is a belief that sinners in hell do not suffer eternal torment but will eventually be forever destroyed. She contrasts it with the traditional view of eternal conscious punishment, exploring Scripture's imagery of destruction, balancing God's characteristics of justice and mercy, and referring to key theologians, such as John MacArthur, John Stott, Edward Fudge, J.I. Packer, and many more. At the end of the day, sharing the gospel to all unbelievers is the most important because separation from God is horrific.
