Thomas shares his journey from earning a $24 check in his first six months to building a business that created true generational impact. He and Keith dive deep into the difference between motivation and conviction, the lost art of serving new people, and why the compensation plan should be the only real incentive. Together, they explore how to meet people where they are without losing sight of the bigger vision, why personal development is non-negotiable, and what it really takes to lead with power instead of force.

An explosive commentary dives into the unexpected surge in American wages—up 0.8% in April and another 0.4% in May—linking the gains to a mass self-deportation of illegal immigrants, reportedly spurred by Trump-era immigration raids. The host argues that illegal immigration is a tax evasion scheme benefiting elite employers and blames both political parties for selectively enforcing immigration laws. Citing a controversial memo halting workplace raids in agriculture and hospitality, the segment sharply criticizes Trump for yielding to donor pressure and calls for consistent enforcement across all sectors—blue or red.

Episode 2.11From million-dollar mansions to private jets, the rise of “celebrity pastors” has sparked questions about fame, finances, and faithfulness in church leadership. In this episode, we explore the complex topic of pastoral compensation, beginning with high-profile examples like Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, and Carl Lentz—and what ethical concerns their lifestyles raise.Then we turn to Scripture: What does the Bible actually say about paying pastors? We look at clear New Testament teaching on the right to financial support, examples of abuse and warning, and Paul's model of both receiving and refusing support. We also tackle modern questions: How much is too much? Should married pastors be paid more? What about book deals?With biblical clarity and practical wisdom, we call churches to avoid both extremes—underpaying faithful shepherds and enabling lavish lifestyles that damage the gospel witness.National Snakebite Support: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GD3uyThiy/Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/-nvRLVHmFvAMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Nick Hopwood and Jim Pilat of Peak Wealth, on their Trust the Plan podcast, recently discussed a Chase Bank data report examining spending patterns in partially and fully retired households with $250,000 to $750,000 in investable wealth. They observed that spending often increases shortly after retirement, driven by lifestyle changes and long-postponed purchases. Over time, however, that spending naturally begins to taper as routines settle and priorities shift. Their discussion emphasized the need for thoughtful retirement planning that accounts for these evolving spending habits. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

Most people heading into retirement think they've got it covered: a pension, some savings, maybe Social Security. But what if the things they're counting on are either misunderstood or dangerously overestimated? This episode sheds light on a few hard-hitting truths that most folks never hear until it's too late. Retirement income isn't just about how much you have, it's about how that income behaves over time, and how taxes, inflation, and planning gaps quietly erode the security you thought you had. As I walk through the mechanics of Social Security, from its inflation adjustments to its unique tax advantages, you'll begin to see why it's not just another income stream. It's one of the only sources designed to rise with the cost of living. Contrast that with private pensions, which often never grow a penny, and you've got a ticking time bomb if you're relying too heavily on the wrong source. And then there's the planning itself: too many households have just one person steering the ship. That “key man risk” can leave the entire plan vulnerable. Whether you're married, single, or retired, this episode pushes you to ask the uncomfortable but necessary questions: Who's my co-pilot? Am I building a plan around stable, tax-smart income? And have I surrounded myself with people who will actually support the goals I've set? Because retirement isn't just about having a plan, it's about having the right one, built on the right truths. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (00:00) The overlooked truths about your retirement. (01:30) Social Security as the foundation of most people's retirement income. (03:00) What most people miss about Social Security's inflation adjustments. (06:00) Why Social Security's tax treatment beats other income sources. (08:59) The overlooked downside of fixed pensions in a rising-cost world. (14:25) The real risk of planning retirement without a financial “co-pilot.” (19:10) Why you should only share retirement goals with supportive people.
